He looks good to me, better than our other young back rowers in Dixon and Ashurst, but has a bit of size to be able to play prop IMO. If he has a free run with injuries, he'll develop into a good player for us.

Blobby sums it up perfectly for me.

Although promising he didn't look 'laterally' mobile or to have much stamina when he came in last season.

The knee braces have gone and he looks a lot better this year.

Just hope he doesn't burn out and he is being flogged in the absence of Clough.

Dixon and Ashurst seem to have tailed off this season. I think they are on a wedge for fringe players
hence thay can't go dual reg and are stuck in the U20s.

Another Andy Platt / Clough type in the making.

Graham didn't really read the danger and started his chase a fraction too late.

For those of you who missed it the tries are shown again on Sky Sports 4 at 6 p.m.

Yes he was partly to blame from that little chip over by obst. He didn't see the danger then was to slow to react.

Thought jammer was pure world class when he came on for his final stint.

I was more disappointed with (the otherwise excellent) Wilkin for the chip through.

He could have chased the kick much harder and, if he'd got there before Obst, he'd certainly have been in a good position to make the tackle.

Mind you, lets not detract from a brilliant bit of play from Obst - you can over analyse these things.

Neither Dixon nor Ashurt will develop without consecutive lengthy spells of game time.

Re: McGennis : Wed May 04, 2011 8:06 am  

I thought it was his best game he has had for us.

His defence was very good.

Re: McGennis : Wed May 04, 2011 9:17 am  

He's very promising but I'm not sure I'd want him at prop in anything other than an emergency until he can develop a bit more physically. He just seems to lose the collision a bit too often ATM but he's got plenty of time on his side, his aggression in both attack and defence puts him in front if Dixon and/or Ashurst who both need to kick on if they are to hang around IMO.

Re: McGennis : Wed May 04, 2011 9:20 am  

I definitely see him having the potential to be the next cloughy, starting out as a hard working backrower, but progressing to prop as he fills out
