Lets be honest - the guy is class. But how disheartening can it be from coming from world class teams to this rubbish. He also has to put up with Agar playing the likes of Tommy Lee in front of him because 'saints and leeds use 2 hookers'. I think he'll go at the end of this season. his heart isn't with the club. He's come to win things - not be part of a disfunctional team.

And you know this because???

TBH, I think a lot of that's down to the differences in their games, and the fact that Swain mainly played behind a dominant (or at least equal) pack. Swain was largely about work rate, outstanding defence and distribution from dummy half. Those are all evident even when a pack is struggling, so he could still shine. On the other hand, one of the biggest parts of Berrigan' s game is his running from dummy half, which is pretty damn hard with the current speed of our PTB (just look at how Houghton has looked less impressive this year). FWIW I think Berrigan's defence has been fairly consistent, he's just not being allowed to shine regularly in attack because we aren't getting on top in the forwards enough.

I agree with that.

I largely agree, i also think a player like Berrigan should be showing more of his skills off irrelevant of whether the pack is winning the wrestle etc. He scored a good try v Rovers and put a good 40/20 in. We need to see more glimpses of his genius than we are imo.

I'd go along with that, yes he is playing behind a beaten pack but for me I expect that little bit more from Berro. More touches of brilliance from him at times during the game could well help us to win games.

And thats exactly my point from a previous page where i think he only shows up for 10 mins a game and then goes missing for 70 mins. We need to see far more from our big money import imo.

Wouln't disagree with that he needs to be in the game more despite the mediocrity surrounding him.
