Thought he yet again shone last night both in attack and defence. IMO he should start I'm the second row with the Hoff against Salford.

I've said it numerous times, he's a future MoS. The best young forward in the british game at the minute.

He did nothing wrong in defence and did a few nice half breaks aswell, competing in this game would have done him a lot of good same for tuson and mossop

Ive got to agree about him being the starting 2nd rower with hoffman, hes earned it now i think

Squad rotation is going to be key for us going forward IMO.

We have so many talented forwards, 2nd rowers especially, that we cant afford to keep playing the same ones to the detriment of others or those others will be forced to find themselves another club and I dont think any of us wants that to happen.

His performances have, but I think he's more use to us off the bench at the moment.

His dynamism coming on after 20-25 minutes really takes up a notch.

I thought Prescott had a great game last night. Ran hard and tackled hard. My only problem with Prescott is that he appears to have skin made from tissue paper

Mikey Mac also tackled well above his weight and was knocking their big lads around.

I've said for a long time now that Farrell is going to be a cracker. We may see an England pack consisting of a few Wigan youngsters this year.

As much as it pains me to say it, I think he is a great player. His performance last night and against Warrington in Jon Clarke's testimonial really impressed me. A great bet for YPOTY this year I reckon. How old is he? Could be star for England in the future too for me.

That's enough of praising Wigan for the year now!

He is quality I agree, in my opinion he is just as good a prospect as Sam Tomkins. I disagree that he should start though, he is very quick for a backrower and this pace is better used off the bench.

He was superb last night. Does that turn he does when running into the defensive line remind anyone else of something similar that Henry Paul used to do.

Like others have said, he should be starting next week.

Not big enough to worry the Aussies at international level.

To be honest, I'm not really bothered.

He'll certainly worry just about every team in SL at some point, then let's see what he can do for England.

Spot on that.

Plus, why does he have to worry the aussies? Time and time again we concede stupid trys against aus, Farrell is awesome in defence and will not let these silly tries in and he makes good yards and will score tries. He will do better than Tomkins did last year.

Disagree totally, hes of the Shane Webcke build short but stocky and difficult to put down. He is a future star without a doubt he is Wigans best forward at the moment alongside a very classy Hoffman.

One of the front runners for Young Player of the Year at this early stage.

According to the figures he's roughly the same size as Anthony Watmough, and he's an international. If Farrell is good enough then he'll trouble teams regardless of his size.

Right then, who next do you want us to turn into a star for you?



Said from game 1 at Widnes he was going to be a future international star back rower and glad to see he's already generating those comments in SL 12 months down the line

Give over

A few of us on here saw him before he even went to Widnes and knew he has the potential.

It is great that Widnes are willing to give some of our guys a go though cause we can't play all of them.

farrell is a top top player and surely a future international but i had him at fault last night for the try that they scored in the 2nd half which is not usually like him!!

Agreed, he went awol at the ruck and left Mossop i think it was (maybe Prescott) as the only marker which allowed the excellent hooker King the space he needed to strike from that range.

I was a bit annoyed that Mossop, Prescott and Leuluai couldn't deal with him between them anyway

by the time he beat the first marker there was very little to be done. His momentum was up and he had time to get low and drive for the line.

2 markers would have had much more of a chance of grounding him.

I suppose, I hadn't noticed that Farrell had left the marker spot to be honest and thought it looked very weak at the time

Farrel was ordered away from marker by Tomkins who wanted him to the left. You can see it on the SL Show.

just watched it again and seen no evidence of that at all.
