I believe he gave Shenton a torrid time on Friday.
Looking good against a team of kids is all very well, but as you know perfectly well, the gulf in class between reserve grade and SL is massive. We have excellent backs in our U20's squad now, who have completely destroyed all their opponents, but no-one is suggesting they're ready for SL yet.dave t wrote:There are a great many fans who dont want Carl back, and I can understand that after seeing his performances in the first team last year.
However, If you look back to those performances, not one of them was in his preferred role of centre ? He either played on the wing or at stand off ?
I watched him last year at centre playing against leeds reserves and he was facing Kallum Watkins,he absolutely murdered him ! he really looked the part at centre and I cant understand why they wont give him a chance there in the first team?
What is the point of the club keeping him for another season if they wont give him a chance in his rightful position? If it were me I would bring him back this week and put him in place of Marsh against Huddersfield
For me, he needs an extended run with Quins to develop his game. It's worked well for (almost) all the others who've been out on loan in recent years. Reports from both sets of fans who saw the Saints game suggest that might be happening, though one game isn't enough, of course.
I really hope he does eventually come good for us, I think he's got masses of potential.
