One of the front runners for Young Player of the Year at this early stage.

According to the figures he's roughly the same size as Anthony Watmough, and he's an international. If Farrell is good enough then he'll trouble teams regardless of his size.

Right then, who next do you want us to turn into a star for you?



Said from game 1 at Widnes he was going to be a future international star back rower and glad to see he's already generating those comments in SL 12 months down the line

Give over

A few of us on here saw him before he even went to Widnes and knew he has the potential.

It is great that Widnes are willing to give some of our guys a go though cause we can't play all of them.

farrell is a top top player and surely a future international but i had him at fault last night for the try that they scored in the 2nd half which is not usually like him!!

Agreed, he went awol at the ruck and left Mossop i think it was (maybe Prescott) as the only marker which allowed the excellent hooker King the space he needed to strike from that range.

I was a bit annoyed that Mossop, Prescott and Leuluai couldn't deal with him between them anyway

by the time he beat the first marker there was very little to be done. His momentum was up and he had time to get low and drive for the line.

2 markers would have had much more of a chance of grounding him.

I suppose, I hadn't noticed that Farrell had left the marker spot to be honest and thought it looked very weak at the time

Farrel was ordered away from marker by Tomkins who wanted him to the left. You can see it on the SL Show.
