The upcoming season of Australian Survivor will spotlight former Wests Tigers player Robbie Farah, who has an extensive career in rugby league.
This season introduces a new format, featuring Farah facing off against former Wallaby Adam Ashley-Cooper, who played for Australia 121 times from 2005 to 2021.
This unique rivalry pits athletes from different sports against each other to determine which code boasts superior skills in endurance challenges.
Farah's extensive NRL experience includes over 300 games with the Tigers and a brief tenure at South Sydney, concluding his playing career in 2019.
Alongside his club achievements, Farah has played for the NSW Blues 16 times in State of Origin and represented Australia on eight occasions.
Additionally, he captained Lebanon in the 2017 World Cup and is set to return as an assistant coach for the Cedars in this year's international tournament.
The rivalry within Australian Survivor will also feature former AFL players Heath Shaw and Adam Cooney, reigniting the long-standing tension between their clubs, Collingwood and Essendon.
At 42, Farah aims to leverage his experience and skills at dummy half in this new competitive landscape, vying for a grand prize of $500,000 along with 23 other contestants.
Farah's partnership with Benji Marshall, spanning 13 seasons and culminating in an NRL premiership in 2005, remains a highlight of his impressive career.
