The storm Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Watched the Broncos highlights and herbie Farnworth is definately international class right now. Beautiful passer of the ball and some great kicks Him and jake Wardle in the centres will be my best and both big units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder whether NRL clubs signing teenagers directly from British amateur clubs is going to be something we see a lot more of in the future.

burnleywelsh Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I don’t think that NRL clubs are actively scouting British amateur clubs. Maybe they should. Herbie made sure he came to the attention of Brisbane by going over to Australia during his summer holidays from his early teens, playing in the local comp. That’s where Broncos spotted him. He wasn’t signed from a British club. He deserves all the success he can get because he made his dream happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hela Wigmen Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Wane’s two look most likely to be Gildart and Percival, from what he’s said but there are a few options now in Farnworth and Newman especially, that will put up a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Id pick a totally new combination , what we’ve had hasn’t been good enough . And if he picks Bateman there I’m writing wane a strongly worded letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean to pick Bateman over him there consistently says it all really. Can't say I've seen enough of Farnworth tbh but if he's cutting it in the NRL as a Back then he should be in the squad without doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I wouldn't be that comfortable with those two as our centres playing against many of the Southern hemisphere teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did of course play for St Pats before going to Australia and had his uncle Brian Foley, with all his contacts to guide and mentor him. Its not really a route open to most. Fair play to him though because he did back himself and achieve his goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Farnworth , Makinson and Johnstone would be three I’d lock in my backline as of now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I hope Watkins doin owt at salford doesn’t con wane into picking him again. Wasn’t good enough either in the big pond , we need to move on to some new blood in the backline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or because Percival debuted in 2016, played in the World Cup in 2017, played against France in 2018 and only didn’t play in 2019 during the failed GB debacle because he was injured in the Grand Final but yeah, must be that.
