Reports have been circling the club had been looking to offload the former NSW hooker before the final year of his contract.

However, Maguire said Farah would be at Redfern in 2018.

“No, Robbie has a contract here next year,” Maguire said.

Farah has started just 12 of 23 games this year spending most of his time on the bench.

Maguire said the 33-year-old had played a huge role in the development of starting No.9 Damien Cook.

“A lot of people probably have Robbie wrong. He’s been fantastic for us ... He’s been excellent for Damien Cook,” Maguire said.

“I’m sure he’d like to play more time. But at the moment, we see the fit of how we’ve been going has been working for us ... Cookie’s been able to play some good football.”
