Has Michael Worrincy a big future? : Sun Apr 15, 2007 9:53 pm  

When I saw Mike Worrincy play last year I was sure that he was headed for bigger things (like an England jersey) no later than 2008.

I was also sure that he was a backrower, probably best as a loose forward, but certainly not a prop.

Yet he has not been given a full run in the top grade this year in the back row. Does anyone know why? Is his defence a problem? Does he need to put on weight?

I think he needs to put on more talent as well as the weight.

obviously you two have seen him play alot this year?

He's had a couple of knocks, plus he's got to break into the back-row of Paul, Purdham and Hopkins which is not easy.

He is highly rated by the club, they realise his defence needs some improvement but anybody who has seen him play will realise he's got bags of talent.

How time flies........so he was in the end unwanted......and lo behold the boy done good at the Bulls........looks like a improving player who should have a decent run in Superleague.

I thought Albert was back till i saw the date on his post!

Mac didn't want him, so his future is behind him. He looked a good prospect but has not met expectations. He could still develop.

Nope he's a natural athlete not a natural footballer.

In a poorer team than ours.
