2. Robbie Farah – Wests Tigers

$900,000 until 2017

Robbie Farah has signed a new deal with the Wests Tigers ensuring he will be a one-club player after debuting with the joint-venture club back in 2003.

Farah has been rated as one of the best hookers in the game in the past five years, and he has been given the representative honours to match, playing seven times for Australia, eight times for New South Wales at State of Origin level.

His career has been littered with individual awards as well, finishing second in the Dally M medal in 2007 and 2010 and winning the hooker of the year award also in 2007 and 2010.

And while the Tigers will be out for a much better result in 2014, Farah will be key to the team if they are to again be a contender for a top eight spot.
