Wasn't he in the newspapers last season saying he had to take a job delivering parcels claiming he wasn't earning 'minimum wage' as a rugby player? MC disputed this, called his bluff on offering a bigger contract and then it all turned out that he signed for another year. At the time I thought it was great, Kershaw was decent but nothing brilliant and wouldn't be missed. This season he has improved a hell of a lot and while not a superstar, his place is more needed / guaranteed. By the end of next season if he keeps putting the effort in I can see him being a player all clubs want.

Pretty much it. TJ is simply a natural and always was. Injury has been his only weakness, the rest was easily rectified.

Kershaw has to work and always will but as reward god gave him a body made from granite.

TJ just seemed to coast yesterday, it looked like he had another 20% in reserve, amazing.

It was noticeable that TJ didn't seem to be carrying as much ball out of defence as he's traditionally done which is a good thing, Kershaw seemed to have at least one carry in each set and played with real effort throughout. 2 Great wingers tries yesterday both did well in defence - thought toms catch of the kickoff under pressure at the end was immense

Yes. You could see the difference yesterday.
Kershaw is an absolute sprinter. Quick of the mark because he's got power. That also helps him gain ground against tackles in front of him. He powers away but has to hold on as the fuel starts to die.
Tom is quick but takes a few strides to get to top speed, more like a 200 metre runner. He can hit top speed and keep going and even go up a gear when pushed.

Great to see them both get a long run yesterday.

Highlights from both tried

Widdops pathetic attempt at tapping Tom's ankles when he started to leave him for dead and speedster allegedly Ashton trying to catch up with Kershaw and fell in a heap as not fast enough!

Agreed, but those carries he did make made a heck of a lot of metres.
