Marcus’s work rate is relentless but that’s at times part of his problem - he needs to step back and be a bit more cerebral, pick his moments, keep a cooler head and assess the state of the game. Not dissimilar to Farrell, except it’s down to youthful enthusiasm and energy rather than hotheadedness. No doubt he’ll get there but I echo the previous comment, Danny at 9 runs everything for us and that is where the team performs best, but is therefore so heavily reliant. It also may have somewhat hampered Marcus’s development this season. I’d like to see Gustard challenge him to run the back line next season, not least given the rumoured A List fly-half signing (Anscombe, Cipriani, Barrett) appears not to be happening. If that in turn means he gets slightly less stuck in defensively, I would have no issue with that.
