Robbie Farah has offered to retire to help Wests Tigers out of their salary cap mess

Robbie Farah is a Wests Tigers man through and through. And he’s ready to prove it with the ultimate act of selflessness.The veteran hooker says he is ready to walk away from the club before any of his teammates are forced out in the wake of the huge salary cap fine imposed on the Tigers by the NRL.The Tigers were fined $750,000 on Wednesday for failing to disclose to the NRL that Farah had been offered a post-career ambassador role at the club worth $639,000. “I don’t want to cost somebody their contract or playing career,” Farah told The Daily Telegraph.“It doesn’t mean as much to me as a young kid or something who is on a big contract. If it means I have to take a bullet I would rather do it then the guilt of
someone being forced out leaving.“Even though I know it’s not my fault I would still feel guilty. I’m struggling to deal with it. People will jump to conclusions and think I’m causing trouble. It was disappointing my name was mentioned. I didn’t think there was a need for it.”Not only has Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe been deregistered by the NRL and hit with a huge fine but the total of the ambassador deal has been deducted from the club’s 2019 salary cap.“It’s hurtful, mate,” Farah told the Sydney Morning Herald. “I don’t know why I’ve been dragged into it. I am at a point now where I am thinking about walking away. I don’t want to play. Things were going good. I was in a good headspace back at the club. But now it’s another drama. Robbie’s caused all the drama again …”
