Eamon O'Carroll : Tue Mar 03, 2009 10:03 pm  

Just wondering peoples thoughts on how he's shaping up?

IMO he's looking a real prospect at the minute and just continues to get the job done. If you look on the superleague website his stats compare very well against some of the real top guns(Morley, Graham ect) on averages of metres to carries and tackles per game.

I've always though with O'Carroll that he won't be anywhere near his best until he's mid to late 20's because he needs to add natural bulk to his frame but he's doing very well at the minute. He should use Danny Nutley as a template of what he could become with his size and in the same way as Nutley had he seems to have a very good attitude and works hard for the team. I like the way he never gets rattled in a tackle. He always make yards however big or small 'forward'.

Hope he keeps up the good work.

He's been superb this season.

He was brilliant for Ireland in the World Cup.

Well in young man.

I am just pleased Noble has played him. There were rumours on here last season it was him or Colbon for a new deal and Nobby wanted Colbon!

I think the world cup did him a lot of good and he'd be on my team sheet before Coley every week.

Prescott will be the same when he plays in the first team, well done to both of them. I can see Eamon becoming a good impact prop.

He showed a great deal of promise last season then had a great campaign with Ireland in the world cup.

This season he has been very consistent and put in a lot of hard work for us.

Rate him highly ,he as an awesome engine on him never stops , really impressed with his defence great at marker as well, i was talking to ex player yesterday who rated very highly and could not understand why he did not feature more last year with under performing forwards being played instead.

I don't as one of is mane assets is stamina, i've seen him do nearly eighty min at academy level and still look for work .I know their is a big step up to first team but he is more of a worker than an impact prop .

He's yet to make an error this season and has only conceded 2 penalties, that's pretty good.

I'm pleased to see the constant rumours about him being involved in the Richard Moore deal haven't affected his performance negatively, and I think he can get even better.
