KC praised the hell out of fages in pre season and said he's fitted in very well. Doesn't sound like someone who's not impressed in training.

KC also said that Jack Owens looked "phenomenal" at full back, so make of that what you will....

Also, how do Fages 66 games for Salford compare to Owens 64 games for Widnes in the "not ready for first team" stakes?

Latest comments from KC on Fages:

"Theo just has to bide his time. It is all about education for him at the moment. He is the future of the club; a young half back who has a massive future ahead of him and he will be at Saints for a long period of time. At the minute he is learning and when he gets the chance he will take it with open arms.

My emotions are completely fine and stable, thank you. I am not desperate for the club to be doing wrong at all; that's absurd. I want the club to be doing things right.

There seems to be only you on here who is happy to defend the club at any given opportunity, yet you have the audacity to question my emotions. It is quite clear that the club is failing in terms of recruitment and performance. If you are happy with where we are heading then that's your prerogative. However you're coming across as nothing other than blinkered and naive.

If you can take every statement I have made in the last few days and show that I have defended the club at EVERY OPPORTUNITY I will mail you a crisp twenty pound note.

Knock yourself out.

When you have to resort to such pedantic nonsense you know you have no argument.

Toodlepip pal. Mind the sand doesn't get in your eyes when you're burying that head of yours.

I'll be keeping that twenty in my wallet, then.

How many of Owens 64 games was at super league level?

It's quite possible Cunningham thinks similarly about Owens and chose not to select Fages precisely because playing two new recruits at the same time is a risk he's not prepared to take.

Without Cunningham's side of the story we're just speculating. And he isn't talking.

Good question....

He made his debut as a 16 year old in 2011, and Widnes have been in SL since 2012 - so I presume the vast majority have been at SL level.
