On a personal note I didn't think the Lebanese fella "Farah" assisted their international expansion today. But thats another story,as for the main topic..Bergal can only get better and the man of steel needs to do the same.
The Samoan and Tongan's hacka,both teams showing unity was a sight never to be forgotten. What an incredible crowd that was.'"
Then let us at least agree fully upon your last paragraph. ![Thumbs up icon_thumb.gif](images/smilies//icon_thumb.gif)
Have a good evening.

| Just watching the Tonga Samoa game again with my son. That was some way to perform the pregame war cries. And one of the most entertaining games of RL I've ever seen.
But back on thread, Bergal is one of us now. I'm sure he will improve as a player with the world cup experience. Looking forward to him and all the new players taking the field.

Well his World Cup is now over and he has not given any lasting impression, I observed him 'grazing' out on the touchline quite a lot, didn't seem to have the want to come infield to take play the balls and help out, and he was beaten with a ball in the air Higsonesq style standing 2 yards from touch and the ball going over his head to bounce in the field of play before going out.
Judgement will be reserved till after the trial games, from what I have seen up to now, not as good as Dawson or Evans.

The stats tell a different story, he took the most carries out of everyone on the French team and joint most in total(17) and made more meters than anyone on the pitch except Jermaine McGilvary. In fact bergal had the most carries and meters for France for the whole tournament.

| To be fair the lad hasn't any experience on any level,to just throw him in the deep end like that at International level has probably scared the life out of him. He maybe pacey,but hes nowhere near that level required yet,as was the fella on his inside.
A good pre-season,build some confidence back in him and lets see how he goes then.

So not grazing much it would seem. I say again, I look forward to seeing him pull on a Leyth shirt. He’s one of us now.

Far from it, it's no mean feat to a rack up more than 300m in gains across 3 matches, especially when 2 of them are England and Australia.

| Personally, I think this lad has loads of potential to be a crowd pleaser at Leigh - and the same applies to his mate Jordan Dezaria. I look forward to seeing them both in action, this coming season.
