Quote: Judder Man "He's a bit like Johnny Lomax (including the skull cap) but a bit more creative, he got noticed when Rangi Chase was out on one of his long suspensions, was directing the team around the park. That was when the Doctor put an extra zero on his valuation to £700 000.
We should know end of next week if he is part of our long term planning.'"
You mean it got noticed how he could not direct the team around the park? How he hasn't got a kicking game, he's weak in defence. In my opinion Fages will turn out to be an average SL, I'm prepared to be shot down on that. He's been the golden boy with some Salford fans for some year, why? i'm not quite sure, presumably becauae I long standing fan put him up when he origionally arrived from France, however fans did start to turn on him when out best prospect was being kept out the side to keep Theo in and putting Chase to FB... Don't ask why as this is Salford after all... His best attribute is his enthusism, he never gives up, he's a good support runner but don't be expecting him to break the line on a regular basis. He can be used as an interchange hooker and will run from dummy half, but sometimes he looks like he's running in treacle.
To suggest he is best than Lomax, I'd disagree, he seems a more classy player and composed with ball in hand. Also he can kick. Only thing wrong with Lomax is his injuries as far as I can see from an outsider view. That's my honest opinion of Theo anyway, hopefully Long can work on all his game really and fufill his world class potentinal a handfull of Salford fans think he have...
