Warriors hooker Nathan Friend has told NRL.com that Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah would have known for months he was not wanted by the club.

“It wouldn’t have just been this week that he knew,” Friend said.

“He would have been putting his feelers out for the last couple of months, it’s only that it’s in the media now,” Friend said.

“I am not too concerned at all to be honest, we have lost a few games and our focus is just to get a victory.

“I don’t think he has too much to prove, he played State of Origin this year and has been playing pretty well this season, I think he is okay from where he is at.

“If he is a likeable lad at the club then the boys will probably support him and play well.”
