Madge has created a 'Tough Club'. Players who need to become rough and tough are given membership. The 3 founding members were Farrell, Roberts and Goulding.
All I know is that Madge has told the players they need to be tougher and rougher and rip in defensively. I presume that 1 to 1 coaching sessions on defence are a large part of this.

Since the inclusion of Ryan Hoffman both Farrells & Tusons games have suffered a decline from last season. We have probably seen the full potential of Faz whereas we haven't seen what Tuson is fully capable of. My gut feeling is that Tuson is going to be a world class second rower/loose forward. However, playing Hoffman has caused a problem for the developing players. Winning matches and youth development is a hard balance to get right

he also missed tackles that led to breaks.

We dont see what happens in training, we dont see the assesments the coaches do, we dont see the players in the gym, there is obviously a reason why Madge is picking Tuson.

I wouldn't say Faz had a poor game the other day, but he made a couple of early mistakes and didn't put in the kind of performance of someone who had something to prove after missing three games.

I thought Faz looked off the pace. It was also noticeable that he was driven back in defence a lot and was arm tackling.

I still think he is the much better prospect compared to Tuson, but Maguire has a tough job in keeping his match sharpness whilst working on his strength in defence. Tuson is strong in the tackle but offers little in attack.
