I thought the lad has really stood up these last few weeks. The guys work rate in defence is quality

I have openly stated that Tuson wouldn't be good enough for first team but I think he's doing a quiet but effective job at the moment. Still not sure he's at the level of Farrell, Mossop in his age bracket but he's doing a good job is the lad.

Thought both Farrell and Tuson had very good games - both look like good prospects to me. Farrell maybe more of a playmaker type but Tuson reminds me of Hansen - hard working unspectacular but effective. Both haven't looked out of place in the first team. I am sure the coaching staff are pleased with their efforts.

Agreed.

Both are showing a real desire to keep their shirts, and this ensures that everyone is on their toes.

I have to say I have been really impressed with Farrell, and more recently Tuson. Not the biggest lads nor will they probably ever be but they have real power contained within them, and Farrell especially has outstanding footwork when approaching the defensive line.

I agree - and their workrate is common to most of the Academy products, and lots of credit must go to Shaun Wame for that.

Tuson reminds me of a young Mick Cassidy.

Tuson seemed to be involved in every tackle he was all over the place! Farrell and Fielden also got through a shedload of work. The team as whole just bossed the game by working their socks off, Catalans couldnt even catch their breaths in the first half. Fitness like we have could come in handy when the going gets tough in the playoffs.
