Wests Tigers have today confirmed that Robbie Farah has informed the Club of his decision to relinquish the Captaincy ahead of the 2016 season.

Farah has led Wests Tigers admirably during his time as Club Captain, taking on the role during the 2009 season.

"Robbie has been an exceptional Captain for Wests Tigers over the years and we thank him for the role he has played in leading this Club," said Pascoe.
