The lead-up to Robbie Farah's final NRL game for the Wests Tigers was a real rollercoaster.
On Sunday the Tigers hosted the Sharks at their famous home ground, Leichhardt Oval, knowing whoever won would secure a place in the top eight playoffs - the loser's season would come to an end.
The 35-year-old Farah, who has more than 300 NRL games under his belt, the majority of which were for the Tigers, had previously announced he would retire at the end of the season. That meant if he played on Sunday, it would be his last game at Leichhardt and if the Tigers lost, the end of his career.
The Wests Tigers and Leichhardt Oval have been a strong feature throughout Farah's career. As a young star he helped the side win the NRL title in 2005. He was the Dally M Hooker of the Year in 2007 and 2010.
In 2016, amid a highly publicised clash of personalities with head coach Jason Taylor, Farah was dropped to reserve grade and driven out of his beloved club. That set up a scene that went global as a dejected Farah sat on the Leichhardt Oval scoreboard with a beer during the club's last game of the season.
