The 33-year-old has made the transition to halfback for Lebanon after linking with Mitchell Moses in the World Cup.

And he has played well with the former NSW hooker guiding his team admirably in a seamless move.

Farah shared dummy half duties with Damien Cook this season under Michael Maguire, however, new South Sydney coach Anthony Seibold has declared he will likely use just one No.9 in 2018 opening the door for a positional change for the former Tiger.

And Farah is excited by talk of the shift.  

"It would be a challenge week-in and week-out over a long season but I would back myself to do it and have confidence to do it," Farah told NRL.com on Friday.

"It's been good, I've really enjoyed it and get the ball as much as I can and provide Mitch [Moses] with as much ball out wide as possible.

"I'm slower in the mind where I can organise and take a back seat and get the boys around using my talk and experience in the game.” 

Lebanon coach Brad Fittler has backed a permanent switch next season. 

"Yeah, no doubt at all … he's slow but," Fittler laughed.

"The way he's playing now the game is going slow for him. That's just not his speed but in his own mind – he's seeing it clearly.

"There is so much they (Farah and Moses) have to do in and around what people are watching. The communication and getting people into position – they're doing a brilliant job."

Farah will lead Lebanon against Australia on Saturday night and reckons his side can cause an upset for the ages. 

"We believe we can [win] and we're going into this game to win," Farah said. 

"We went in against England to win and I thought we gave a good account of ourselves.

"I think England definitely knew they were in a game at the full-time siren so for us it's just continuing to improve hopefully before a quarter-final berth."
