How good is this guy? strong running and all over the park in defence with some big hit and runs his blood to water. This guy doesnt get the credit he deserves.

Wigan legend this fella.

Keep it up!!!!!!

Wigan are going for height where they can get it.
Geeling signed and now Thornley. One 6'5" the other 6'4".
Jack Hughes being played at centre is simply keeping up to SL game speed.
He will overtake Tuson and maybe Farrell in the next two years. He's tall, skillful and pacey for a forward, just right for a back rower.

On a side not I've been a little disappointed with Farrel this year. He had a quiet 2011 through his own admission, perhaps suffering from second season syndrome. But I thought he'd really kick on in 2012 from where he left off in his debut year. Sadly that's not been the case.

He started the season in excellent form but a couple of niggly injuries have cut his progress.

I can't help but feel him and Tuson are suffering from a lack of minutes. Theyre both feeding off scraps in a sense and are both probably suffering from not only the form of Hock and Hansen but also the fact that both and not just one of them are being selected. They're pinching each others minutes in a way.

One thing Farrell needs to work on though is his collision. He's not dominating tackles and I could see Wane becoming frustrated.

Fair point.

When I get home I going to watch the match again and take note of how many minutes Farrel and Tuson receive. I'll do the same each and every week now to the best of my abilities. I'm intrigued to see just how many minutes their both getting.

IIRC Madge dropped Farrel more than once because of Liam's inability to stick and hold in the tackle. It's something he really ought to have mastered by now.

Madge put Faz and Goulding in "Tough Club", seems to have done the trick with Goulding, but as you say not with Faz.
