Tony Duggan's brilliance ---two tries in three minutes against Salford --- shows that he is every bit the great player that I have been saying.

He will last this franchise series... and more than likely retire around the second batch in my eyes

It is not extraordinary for a full back to last until age 33-34.

If Tony Duggan can avoid serious injury, he should be able to score 200 tries for the Crusaders before he retires. (He hit the 100 mark yesterday).

I fully expect him to be part of the Dream Team in at least one month this year. Most important thing for him is to make 100 Super League games for the Crusaders and have a fantastic testimonial in 2012 or whenever it comes around.

Bottom line: the boy has class.

He would need approx 25 tries a season for the next four seasons - big statement I think.

Are you joking ? He isn't that good and Celtic won't score that many tries, let alone Tony Duggan.

If he plays into 2013, at age 34, he will only need to score 20 a season.

Big ask for sure, but on yesterday's performance you would think that perhaps the Little Master could pull it off.

Makes too many mistakes.
