I'd be a bit careful about going over the top about him just yet, but he's got potential to be very good.

And he's far better than Turner at 6 at the moment so picking him is a no brainer (and Turner is, amazingly, better at centre).

Not very good against Catalan though. Caught with ball in hand far too often and wrong options when he did pass/kick. Still - Young with plenty of potential.
Luke Robinson made the comment last week in Interview that in the uk (as opposed to aus) young players -esp halves- are expected to come on as half back and take control of the team and be amazing- they aren't given time to develop like they are in aus where sometimes they don't make first grade until 23/24 years old. With a lack of a reserve grade over here that problem is further confounded.

I thought he was OK tonight - at least he didn't stop trying unlike a lot of other players.

There were no runners tonight apart from headless chicken LMS who insists on running back into traffic.

Fages has improved out HB issue 100%

Luke Gale is a prime example of a half who can make huge strides in their development past the age of 23/24. He was let go by Leeds and I think people saw him as pretty average at London and Bradford but at the right club playing under a good coach he's come on ten fold to the point were he's probably the best British halfback knocking about.

Plenty of Luke Gales will be lost from the game at 19/20 unless they're lucky enough to be picked up by another team.

Luke Gale was never average at London, and he trained the Academy players as well as playing. Farage is young still, and you could see last night frustrated with himself at times, it needs a coach to bring him through, and there is not better that Long, I wonder what input KC really allows him?

He's pleased that you think that.
