I've been mighty impressed by Farrell lately. He is a year older, mind (i think), but seems to have taken to superleague very well.
It took jtomkins a couple of seasons to start impressing, didn't it?
McGennis does have a glint of somethin special, though.
True it did take Joel a few years to become consistent with his performances. But he'd shown signs all a long that he was going to be a good player, it was just matter of getting his consistency levels up. When ever I've seen Mcgennis play, like you I've seen signs that he's going to be a goodun.
In Ashurst and Dixon though I've not seen the same sparkle, even though they've had more game time than Mcgennis. I'd describe those two as grafters, and while there's nothing wrong with having grafters in your team (after all everyone needs them) to have two in the same position is unnecessary. Keep the most promising one and bin the other, which I'm sure Saints will do down the line.
Just for the record Dixon, Ashurst and Magennis are all older than Farrel (although not by much, plus it doesn't really matter. It's experience that counts).
