NRL great Robbie Farah takes a shot at Eugenie Bouchard date on Twitter
NRL great Robbie Farah has taken a cheeky shot at getting a date with tennis star Eugenie Bouchard.
World No.212 Bouchard, 25, is back in Miami after failing to qualify for the Australian Open.
Farah, 36, is in the Florida city for the Super Bowl on Monday (AEDT) between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.
The former Wests Tigers, NSW Origin and Kangaroos hooker figured that he might as well chance his hand.
As for a response ... radio silence. The second tweet didn't play well with some Twitter followers, but Farah was unapologetic.

Farah retired after last season, having reached 300 NRL games. Bouchard is trying to regain the form that saw her make the Wimbledon final in 2014, along with semis at the Australian and French Opens.
In the meantime, the Canadian tennis player is one of Instagram's most popular sports figures, with more than two million followers. She is often pictured in Miami, her base while not competing on the WTA Tour.
Bouchard also had a crack at the Dolly Parton Challenge recently.
