Grace the field with beloved Tigers

-

the biggest regrets of leaving last time, not having one last game at Leichhardt.

“You always just think you’re always going to get another game there.

“Now to get back there and play on a Sunday afternoon, it’s going to be a pretty special for myself, my family and for a lot of the boys.”

Farah is likely to regain his beloved No.9 jumper in a team revamped by the mid-season transfer deadline, with Canterbury fullback Moses Mbye also switching clubs.

The pair’s inclusion is expected to give Ivan Cleary’s side a real thrust in their attempt to end a six-year finals drought. The Tigers are four points outside the top eight in 10th spot with 10 games to go.

Farah said it was important he control his emotions to ensure victory over Gold Coast.

“I’ve a job to do for the team,” he said. “Moses Mbye coming in at fullback as well. We just need to slot in without too much disruption.

“We’ve got to make sure we do our job and get the win. We don’t want to send the fans away with a loss.”

Farah also declared a desire to finish his career as a Tiger, but is unsure whether to call time this year.

“I’m really looking forward to giving it my all, this last 10 weeks, working hard and enjoying my footy,” he said.
