I don't get this Tuson hits harder . So your telling me for example if faz makes 50 tackles and misses 0 and Tuson does 50 and misses 10 he gets the place because he s hitting harder sorry but I don't agree at all .

Farrell had a poor game the other day

no he never. he must have made more than 20 tackles in the first half alone and also scored a try that got us back in the game.

i thought so too...

Gave away two penalties in Cas's half and knocked the ball on from a kick return after Hoffman's try which lead to the Ferres try/no try incident. All noticeable rrors which relieve pressure on the opposition and increase it on team-mates, things Madge won't stand for

Farrell was the top tackler against Cas making 46 tackles and 12 marker tackles. Chris Tuson made 11 tackles. Tuson also made less metres although with slightly fewer carries.



Mistakes were inevitable considering Faz hadn't played a proper game of rugby for a while. He did pretty well considering his long absence from the team. In attack Tuson did nothing.

I'm not saying that Faz is rubbish! Just that he made some mistakes on Wednesday that Madge will have picked up on. In fact Madge probably spotted a few that I missed lol

Since the inclusion of Ryan Hoffman both Farrells & Tusons games have suffered a decline from last season. We have probably seen the full potential of Faz whereas we haven't seen what Tuson is fully capable of. My gut feeling is that Tuson is going to be a world class second rower/loose forward. However, playing Hoffman has caused a problem for the developing players. Winning matches and youth development is a hard balance to get right

he also missed tackles that led to breaks.

We dont see what happens in training, we dont see the assesments the coaches do, we dont see the players in the gym, there is obviously a reason why Madge is picking Tuson.

I wouldn't say Faz had a poor game the other day, but he made a couple of early mistakes and didn't put in the kind of performance of someone who had something to prove after missing three games.

I thought Faz looked off the pace. It was also noticeable that he was driven back in defence a lot and was arm tackling.



I still think he is the much better prospect compared to Tuson, but Maguire has a tough job in keeping his match sharpness whilst working on his strength in defence. Tuson is strong in the tackle but offers little in attack.
