Farrel's already better than any of Saints backrowers barring Tony P.
You all rave'd about Soliola but in all honesty all he's capable of are big hit's. As for doing the work of a backrower he's sh*te.
Saints will have a great frontrow next year (assuming Graham goes back to playing prop as opposed to standoff). But in the backrow your p*ss poor even with Tony P, who's now the Saints equivalent of Feka only managing a few minutes at a time before gassing.
