Quote: Stu M "As an outsider looking in, my understanding of Farrimond is that he is more of an oragnising 7 so I would lean more towards John.
However it would all depend on how Wigan would use them both- as split halves or on ball?'"
Sometimes halfbacks come along who can do it all and while it may not transfer in to the first team, I see Farrimond as one of those at academy level. Yes, he is an organiser but he's got a good running game and can play off the cuff as well. The step up may be too big, who knows but theres potential there for him to play alongside any type of halfback partner for me.
It won't be an issue for us for a year or two anyway. Talking of that, something will need to give at Wigan if he is to get a regular spot down the track.
