Quote Zena="Zena"s try at the quinns epitomised that last week. I agree Dixon looks slightly more advanced than Ashurst and physically bigger, but theres a long way to go for both players, and from reports the best backrower out the lot of them, McGenniss is yet to get his opportunity due to injury.
When did you hear these reports? I have watched the reserves/acamedy over the last few years (not stakler alert but my nephew played for the academy/reserves) McGennis was bigged up in the acamedy game against warrington bit lets put this in perspective he was an 18 year old who had been training with the 1st team for 2 years against 16 year oilds who had just left school (my mum would have loked good)The most telling thing for me was when Saints continued to play him in the U18's when moving his counterparts into the reserves. Don't get me wrong I hope that McGennis does develop to his potential but as much as his friends come on the website and big him up, they are doing him no favours as the people on here will expect hin to explode onto the scene and he has plyded his trade in the U18's well oiver 12 months ago. So if you are his friend let him come back from his injury's and it is a big step up from the under 18's to firsty team rugby,'"
Shaun is physically much bigger than first team players never mind u18's. He constantly ripped it up for the reserves. Will he be world class or a Saints firt team member ? The answer is we do not no! He might make it, he might not. But the fact is that he is a excellent prospect.
