I know some of the regular academy watchers didn't think Tuson would have what it takes to force himself ahead of some of the fantastic secondrowers we all ready have, but for me he's been superb this year.

One of his runs tonight where be beat three or four of the Leeds defenders was fantastic.

I think what I like about him best is the fact that he brings a little something different than all our other backrowers. His footwork and speed of the mark is superb, and I really think he has a long term future at Wigan.

Before he went on loan to Cas i didnt think he was anything special TBH but his recent run of form has been fantastic, he tackles his heart out and runs hard into every drive he makes. He is like our forwards version of Goulding. Gets the job done and more, they both have come on leaps and bounds this year.

I too was well impressed with Tuson again tonight and thats why he was in my top 3 vote.

He put in some cracking hits and he's always looking for work and like you said was a cracking little run at one point i thought it was going to open up for him.

Agree he had a great game. His 'knock on' was never a knock on in a million years either.

Outstanding footwork for the run.

The only problem is we cannot keep them all and as good as he is I think he will struggle to have a long term future at Wigan, but he is really doing his best to.

I think he could have made a blinding hooker personally but it may be a little late to convert him at this stage of his career.

Could Madge be planning on using Lockers at 6 alot next year with sam at 1 like he did tonight ?.. that would be a reason to why we would still need to have plenty of cover in the back row.

I thought Tuson had a great game last night.

Great little player, and always worth a bench spot for his defensive work alone.

I must admit when the lad started off in the first team I thought he was imo very average and would really struggle to force his way into the squad.

But after the last three games he has really impressed me he has a good turn of pace for a second rower and good footwork and he isnt shy at putting his self about is he! he tackles his socks off.

Just another feather in Madges and Wanes cap they promised us fans that they would play the form players in the team and give the younger players a chance to prove there worth and boy is it paying off!.

Mr consistancy. He is a work horse who tackles like his life depends on it.

I think it was, but it was not likely to detract from the standard of his perfomance.

He had another cracking game and I also had him in my top 3. He's got great footwork and is as strong as an ox which added to his sheer determination and commitment is making him a very dangerous player for us.

He still has a very tough job on his hands to get in at backrow next season though and i'll say it again that i'd like to see him given a shot at 9. That run he made last night shows he could get out of dummy half fine and he looks to have good handling ability. The more strings he can add to his bow will give him the best chance of actually playing some games next year.

I accept that when a ball comes loose as part of a tackle its usually given as a knock on unless its blatantly thrown backwards at 90 degrees to the try line so I didn't lose any sleep over the decision but yeah either way he still had a great game.
