I don't understand how Liam Farrell being left out of the squad means that Maguire picks favourites etc. To me, it's good coaching, keeps Liam on his toes and makes him want to get back in the team. Also, it gives Chris Tuson playing time and builds up his confidence coming to the business end of the season when we meet need him.

I'm a big fan of Liam don't get me wrong, but if Madge see's that Tuson is a better option then I'm not disputing. Can't argue either, we haven't lost a game without Liam playing have we?

Since the inclusion of Ryan Hoffman both Farrells & Tusons games have suffered a decline from last season. We have probably seen the full potential of Faz whereas we haven't seen what Tuson is fully capable of. My gut feeling is that Tuson is going to be a world class second rower/loose forward. However, playing Hoffman has caused a problem for the developing players. Winning matches and youth development is a hard balance to get right

he also missed tackles that led to breaks.

We dont see what happens in training, we dont see the assesments the coaches do, we dont see the players in the gym, there is obviously a reason why Madge is picking Tuson.

I wouldn't say Faz had a poor game the other day, but he made a couple of early mistakes and didn't put in the kind of performance of someone who had something to prove after missing three games.

I thought Faz looked off the pace. It was also noticeable that he was driven back in defence a lot and was arm tackling.

I still think he is the much better prospect compared to Tuson, but Maguire has a tough job in keeping his match sharpness whilst working on his strength in defence. Tuson is strong in the tackle but offers little in attack.
