No disrespect to Tuson, I just don't like when coaches have random agendas with players, and favour other ones despite performances proving otherwise.

I guess he must be carrying a knock because the coaching staff are seeing something a lot of the fans arent otherwise. And the stats are on the same side as the fans. www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2011 Saying that I remember at the beginning of 2010 not long after Mossop signed his long term deal MM taking him out of the squad if his performances werent up to the required standard to keep him on his toes. That certainly didnt do him any harm!!

Statistics do not illustrate the full significance of a player. For instance, they cannot indicate whether a player is constantly out of position and as a consequence allows opposition teams a supreme advantage.

Not directly no, but if your averaging 30+ tackles a game and only missing 1 per game this would suggest that isnt the case.

Faz as gone from being the fans fav to not even gettin a sniff in! !! maguire quoted! !!! if you dont perform you will be replace, he has not stuck by his word! ! i have alot of respect for maguire, but he as clearly got his favourites! !

I definitely prefer Farrell to Tuson, Tuson often goes unnoticed in my eyes, whereas Farrell stands out and is noticeably more involved in the games.

That's because he is a ginge and is hard to miss.

tbh as much as thats a joke it probably does help to be a ginge when coming through into a team particulary if you are playing well- what you are doing is far more likely to be noticed!

I don't understand how Liam Farrell being left out of the squad means that Maguire picks favourites etc. To me, it's good coaching, keeps Liam on his toes and makes him want to get back in the team. Also, it gives Chris Tuson playing time and builds up his confidence coming to the business end of the season when we meet need him.



I'm a big fan of Liam don't get me wrong, but if Madge see's that Tuson is a better option then I'm not disputing. Can't argue either, we haven't lost a game without Liam playing have we?

Faz himself admits he'd not been playing well before he was dropped:

If you know your rugby and know what your looking for you will know why Faz has been dropped these last few weeks.



The guys is great with ball in hand and clearly runs the lines well. Have a close look at his defence and in-particular the way he goes about it.

30 + tackles a game are good but not if your not winning the ruck!!!!!!!!!
