why u guys crying about farah ??? johns just asking the questions no one else will ask ... better than hearing the same old pc answers and cliched bullshit ... on ya matty

[@XxRiggieSmallsxX]

Matty Johns was completely justified in everything he asked. Nothing was unreasonable.

[@JackH2254]

I agree Gragas!

[@chanapabrooks]

everything was unreasonable it was march that season.

[@joshdavies9444]

@@chanapabrooksthey finished the season 10th after being competition favourites, had statistically one of the worst defences that year and Tim Sheens got sacked at the end of the year because he and the players couldn’t see eye to eye… sounds to me like Matty had them figured out early

[@pdhu26]

this was great, good questions by matty and finally a player to fire up back at him and show some passion, good shit farrah

[@lukepownall7292]

What phase of Matty Johns was this? Was he trying to be a hard hitting shock jock or something? That was a bizarre watch

[@DC.....]

It's sad you could actually play this video every year for the last ten years and it would still ring true

[@cameronhubbard415]

Robbie was unaware of the problem because he was a large part of the problem.matty knew the truth and was fishing for Robbie to reveal the truth.

[@russoswerve3974]

Robbie Farah is the biggest problem anywhere he goes. When he left the tigers, they looked like they could possibly make the top 8 without him. Then he leaves the Rabbitohs (who coincidentally make the top 4 once he leaves) and the tigers go back to being ‘that team that nearly makes the finals’. And NSW finally became winning again once Farah wasn’t playing.

[@chevchevmoimoi]

at least matt has the guts to ask the questions

i think Robbie Farah wants to punch Matty Johns here - not sure i would blame him!!!!

To be fair Matty is sparking him up a bit.

[@markgreat11]

robbie had every right to react that way

[@DM1522]

absolutely mate, it's the sorts of questions we wish we could ask players.

Faaaaaark Matty was pumping Robbie haaaaard, lol

i love matty johns but this was just unnecessary.

[@wadesharp11]

agreed

[@brfellis]

Fox sports and the news has blown this way out of proportion..this is just good questioning and to be honest i think Farah should have conducted himself in a more professional way!!

[@aussie827]

I don't really see how he blows up, he handled it pretty well

[@upthesharkies1]

Those questions were perfectly legitimate and needed answering however I think Robbie handled them well. I don't see what all the big hoo haa is about to be honest.

[@TheMiffy7]

Matty is doing his job, asking the questions that everyone wanted to know at the time! Robbie is just a sook!

[@taigancaldwell8670]

good on you Farah that was really good of you to say what you did to Matty Jhons

[@Articulate20]

Alot was made of Robbie Farahs outburst during that interview segment. But the basics of it(which unsurprisingly enough, was overlooked)was he stood up for himself, his club & to a bunch of probing questions that could've been asked more professionally. The real story of that segment should have been Mathew Johns & the way he carried his questions! #RobbieFarahStandUpGuy#

[@mrsbradpittiful]

The mongrels barking is a nice touch

[@stv027]

storm in a teacup. I was expecting a big flame war.

[@jasonm.b1971]

U gotta love Robbie, class act

[@EMAGA]

Ambushed? Hardly. Johns asked the questions that all fans are asking, and players, especially senior players should be able to handle these types of questions. I dont see why he had a dummy spit? Cool, calm and collected. That is how a senior member should handle himself in interviews. Having said that, i dont think Robbie's replies were that bad, but his response after the show was less than impressive.

[@hyjuki87]

The matty johns / john singleton marketing machine at it again

[@Bigweight66]

Good interview, way, way better then any of the the soft and rubbish interviews The Footy Show on channel 9 does.

Robbie's biggest problem is himself. Unable to take constructive feedback is a trait of a failure.

[@azsportza]

Actually, he tweeted after the show. Since NRL on FOX is now pre-recorded he tweeted 30 minutes after the questions were asked

[@crystalskylight9327]

Robbie is a legend of the game. Matty only exists his brother's shadow.

[@vladtheinhaler8476]

Yes someone said it

[@Articulate20]

. I thought he was rather disrespectful towards Robbie Farah, albeit indirectly. If Johns was trying to make a name for himself by being "That Guy" who isn't afraid to ask the "Tough Questions", well then, he failed miserably!! Funnily enough, he didn't look too happy with Robbie Farahs answers & the nature in which he responded lol. Well, as they say, you get & what you give & Mathew Johns got what he deserved lol

[@mathsolver1584]

Well said Robbie!

[@horimaoriguy]

good iv, they were tough questions but I think Robbie handled it well and came out of it sweet

[@buymeaskyline]

He tweeted more than half an hour before this segment aired so it must have been before hand.. He also tweeted after the show that he got ambushed though.

[@remylebreau192]

I thought someones dog was about to attack Robbie Farah lmaaoo

[@azsportza]

No, my dog did not get a beating. Now nice of you to think so but we are not all cruel to animals.

[@cynthiajennings1]

Don't know what everyones talking about!!! Theres more drama on Dora. He handled himself a lot better than what I would of. Good on him!

[@syphiroth9806]

I'm not a fan of West Tigers and I never rated B. Marshall as a playing in the number 6 or 7. He was a 3 or 1 at best. Robbie Farah is what the NRL lacks these days, loyal, outspoken, REAL and sticks up for his team. The NRL has too many fairy buddy-buddy on the same side pals crap and this was pure emotion (which the NRL fine now, FAIRYS) and I'm a huge fan of Robbie Farah. He is not an Andrew Johns but Matthew Johns was no Andrew Johns or Robbie Farah. Matthew Johns is a funny guy that's it.

[@matcole1975]

They should have won 2009 and 2011. Such a shame.

[@bullidude1]

WTF !!! I saw the headlines and thought "Cool, gotta see this!".. now I'm sitting here thinking what a crock of sh#t..I'm a Wests fan and I thought Johns was fine asking the question, and Robbie did fine answering it..Wests are always amongst the most feared opponents amongst other teams fans..because their style is so unpredictable and they hate playing us..our last 3 games have been possibly our worst ever..but we will bounce back this year, and can't wait for Johns' to claim he knew it so.lol

[@MegaBadseed]

Go Robbie! lol what a legend

[@azsportza]

Farrar plays for Manly - This is Wests Tigers captain Robbie FARAH!

[@xSAINTANG3Rx]

its funny that warren smith says to braith,AINT YOU GLAD YOU DONT PLAY FOR THE TIGERS? Because braith has just signed a 2 year deal with the tigers.

[@kaezer2]

I understand your point but you have to understand mine. Matty is not the person to be interviewing any sportsmen on any subject relatively close to anything of this nature. The fact that they even allowed him to conduct the interview in the 1st place just shows how serious our code is when it comes to tidying up all the bull shit that seems to contineuosly plague us.

[@russoswerve7856]

Good effort from Farah to be the most disliked guy on that couch. Even more than Anasta

[@DC.....]

[@BuzzBombBmx]

[@scottsyoutubevideos]

its funny.. cause marshall left.. lol

[@KingMatto]

Dunno why Robbie's having a sook if Matty asked if he can go further & Robbie said yeah sure..

[@_Chris_D_3004]

He's pressing his buttons on purpose. calling him soft is ridiculous

[@Merit16]

Slice of Pepperoni but Robbie is soft even when he played for NSW he was weak

[@jaycee571]

Went continually down hill from this interview for the tigers. They still haven't recovered

[@stewartdavies929]

….and the Tigers still haven’t turned it around

[@floodwaters8887]

If they could have kept Prince after premiership they would have got another one before the Farah/Benji era was said and done, they couldn't get a decent halfback to partner with Benji.

[@atheistdingo6273]

Since Prince theyve only had one half back, Lui and they made the finals 2010 and 2011. Gave Lui the punt cause he couldnt keep his fists off his miss's and the Tigers havent had a half back since and no finals. Blind Freddy can see that.

[@RompYa]

LOL "people have their opinion on u"

[@zaphodtrillian]

...ask Matty about 'group sex' when you are married with children

[@Merit16]

Zaphod Trillian in case you didn't notice his the host on a nrl show, what's he supposed to do kiss ass 😂 Robbie going to need a blanket to blow his nose and wipe his tears.

[@tommylob1409]

When he started barking like a lunatic I lost all respect for him

[@ShadnicThe]

... That's it? THAT WAS IT?! Why the hell is the written article on NRL on Fox making this seem more worse than it is? BTW, this is a Dragons fan speaking.

[@Eunuchhorn]

I thought Farah was gracious in response. Most Captains would have punched Johns for calling their team soft. They haven't played well, but he admitted that. "Tough but fair" questions my arse. Johns was shit stirring and the Marshall/Farah punch up comment is just trashy gossip mag stuff. And just for the record I'm not a Tigers fan. Farah came out of it a lot better than Matty.

[@andyhunter5869]

At the time of writing, this clip is 11 years old... Is the dog barking at 1:20 dead now?

All these years later and the tigers are still soft

Poor old Matty got the old answer a question with a question and an attitude, Jeez you'd think a captain might be more classy I.E Darren Lockyer

[@bluehost11]

oh god forbid the captain of the team having to answer questions about the performance of his side and the relationships of the players after its been talked about in the media..no ones criticising how he answered the questions but his dummy spit afterwards was stupid. harden up robbie and have some common sense mate. this is part of your job whether you like it or not

[@2Addicted2YT]

Oh oh, Farah doesn't like criticism. It's a part of sport, praises when doing well and criticism when not. Not being able to admit that you are currently shit is poor form. Fogging would have been the best way to answer Matty's questions.
