Just turned 22 so probably 5 years until he reaches his peak? Think he's commanding his place right now, seems to improve with every game and starting to find the odd offload and earn us penalties too. Good to see.

He did some good stuff today. I would just like to see him lower his shoulders into contact a bit more. He can often get stood up in the tackle and pushed back. Needs to lower his centre of gravity a bit. He is improving all the time though.

Agree I was hoping we'd get him on loan last season but he seemed to be becoming a first team regular at the time

Oh yes, definitely improvement in him. Think he's bringing more the table each week though, good to see his progress and depending on recruitment will be challenging Green for 4th prop I reckon.

and got stuck into the biff as well.

Good observation.

I like him. Becoming a stronger runner and progressing very nicely.

i think bowden's place is the one under threat when everyone's fit

REally impressive, playing more minutes too.

Is FASH back next week ?

He must be getting close. Whether he will be picked or not is another question.
