Mitch Farmer delisted
« on: October 17, 2011, 04:41:22 PM »
Just saw this on twitter (from Tristan Foenander):

"Mitch Farmer told he is no longer required by the Tigers. Expect announcement on a few more players this week."


Edit:

feel for Mitch not the worst on our list not the best but certainly not the worst, few should go before him but are safe because of contracts  :banghead

speed wise yep he was slow but he was a very accurate kick over 40-50 metres unlike some others

I could imagine being let go from a club would be like losing your job.
But with twitter being so public. You would just hope no delisted players get bitter and lose face by posting silly things on twitter.

Without knowing the finer details Mitch had a very limited pre-season due to injury.

I always thought he looked overweight this year, so maybe he was a bit ahead of himself in thinking that he was a permanent fixture.

From what i have seen he hasnt done himself any favours.

Happy this decision was made - we have too many that play the same role and unfortunately for Mitch he has had his chances and hasn't been good enough. Hope he keeps at it and works hard - plenty of success stories of players getting chances later in life if they put the work in.

We should never of drafted him in the first place, there was no need for a player of his type, we already have them.

agreed davey, he had a go, never brings me any joy to see a youngster fail to realise his dreams as a tiger. Like tambling, Mitch had flaws in his game that were simply exposed at the elite level. How many times we saw him fumble or spill a simple chest mark beggared belief...good luck MF

Hope this means Webberley can stay.  I'd delist Gourdis before Thursfield as well, even though he's contracted.  Would give us Taylor, Nason, Farmer, and Gourdis gone.

Would give us picks 15, 26, 55 and a PSD pick (Macaffer?)

Hope so

McGuane deserves to be delisted more than anyone. How he got more than 1 year last time I will never know.
