In Farrar's first season at Canterbury, the club reached the 1940 NSWRL grand final against Eastern Suburbs. Farrar played at second-row as Canterbury were defeated 24-14 by Easts at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The following season in 1941, Canterbury finished second on the table but were defeated once again by Eastern Suburbs in a tight match 24-22. In 1942, Canterbury-Bankstown finished as minor premiers and reached the grand final against defending premiers St. George.
