Ryan is a friend of a friend's - he needed 20 internal stitches and had a suspected broken jaw. Here's hoping he recovers soon.

Tuson looks like he could do with putting some bulk on but I have no worries at all in size terms over Farrell. The lad looks solid as a rock and will only get bigger. It was taking 2,3 or 4 Cas players to drag him down on Sunday and he looks hugely strong.

We've got some great options in that back row already but in a year or 2 with the development of guys like Joel, Mossop, Farrell, Tuson aswell as the return of Gareth Hock we should have quite some pack. We also won't lack size when you look at guys like Joel, Mossop and Hock.

I'd be interetsed to see some ht and wt stats on Farrell and Tuson as compared to Hock Mossop Hansen. Wherefore art thou, Bilko?

They're obviously smaller but with differing size comes different attributes and both are only very young. I'm not overly convinced Tuson will go on and become a regular here because the competition is harsh but Farrell I believe will go onto become a regular for Wigan and eventually England. I've kept a close eye on him over the past couple of years and everytime I see him he just looks top draw. He's got a great engine and attitude aswell as good footwork, hands and decent pace.

Not sure I believe these but this is from the club site

Hansen 1.86m 101Kg
Tomkins 1.9 95
Mossop 1.85 103
Farrell 1.84 93
Tuson 1.82 92

Overall I think we are in general agreement. Farrell looks like he'll make it but at 14 1/2 stone you wouldn't want any other lighter players in there with him IMO.

They look quite abit out in some areas like the difference in height between Mossop and Farrell aswell as the difference in height between Mossop and Joel Tomkins.

At a guess in old money i'd say height wise-

Joel- 6ft 3/ 6ft 4
Mossop 6ft 3/ 6ft 4
Hansen 6ft/ 6ft 1
Farrell 5ft 11 ish
Tuson 5ft 11 ish
