Is Herbie Farnworth the best English centre to play in Australia since the legendary Ellery Hanley? Hanley starred for both Balmain and Wests in the late 1980s and he got the Tigers into the 1988 grand final before being KO'd by the Bulldogs' Terry Lamb off the ball. Fans of the two merged clubs are still in awe of his skills but Herbie is right up there. After starring for the Broncos in recent years, he has proved one of the buys of the year at the Dolphins. Against the Sharks on Thursday night, he was majestic, scoring a try and making 215 run metres. Without his contribution, the Sharks would almost certainly have won a game that went right down to the wire. It was a performance 'The Black Pearl', now aged 63 and living back in England, would have been proud of.
