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. :CLAP: :CLAP:

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.






Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

FIOS

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.

That wasn't so.

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.
