Well, Madge has already shown that he won't select players just because they're "big names".

Farrells preformences should have earned him a spot on the 17 at the start of next year imo and it's up to guys like Mossop ad then hopefully Hock to try and take that from him. The thing that has struck me from day one about Farrell is how comfortable he's looked playing first team. He plays like a veteran and it's hard to get your head round the fact that he's a 20yr old kids in his first season.

If a State of Origin and Australian international came over for huge money and put in preformences like Farrell has we'd all be made up. If Hoffman can reach a higher standard then Farrell has then we're onto a winner.
