We're lucky to have him. Doesn't have a reputation as a top
class finisher like Lynagh has, but is arguably the best
defensive winger in the league as others have said. I think
saying he's not cut out for a higher level does him an
injustice. There's definitely a role he could fulfil for England
similar to the one Jones had Marchant fill against SA. The only
knock on him for England is probably the lack of positional
flexibility which is why Eddie is sent gaga over players like
Slade, Farrell, Daly, Malins, Marchant etc who can cover
multiple positions. He'd be a luxury in an England side and
that's probably why it hasn't happened. Lynagh, who's had a
call-up, also plays fullback.
If you told me we'd have "Tom Williams, but better in defence"
(Murley) and "Mike Brown, but wayyyy faster" (Green) playing for
us five years ago I'd have snapped your hand off. Between those
two, Lynagh, Marchant and Beard we are well set there for years
to come.

I think he's really kicked on this season. He showed real
promise then last season he didn't seem to improve or play
consistently well, and lynagh slightly overtook him. This season
though he's shown a big improvement in attack and defence.
England have a lot of very good options on the wing, so very
hard for him and lynagh to break in, but all he can do is to
keep putting in good performances for us. Always means Morris
and our other wing options have to improve to get their chance,
which can only be a good thing

He’s also been really good when he played in the centres for us.

I have to agree we have a few under rated players. Cadan is one
and I am more than happy when i see his name on the teamsheet
but the other the person who once rewatching yesterday's game i
think should have had man of the match is Matt. Symonds. The
amount of tackles, rucks and ground he covers is staggering, we
will miss him a lot if as rumoured he wants to retire at the end
of the year.

Disagree with those on here that say he isn’t international
class. If he was Scottish he’d have 15 caps by now!

Murley's a cracking player. The Tom Williams comparisons are
apt, probably with a bit more pace and a bit more bulk. Him
runniver over Alex Goode to cross the line against Sarries this
season was a particular highlight.

Does anyone else think Caden bears comparison with Jack Nowell
at a similar stage? He has not turned out too bad!

Yes. I think there are some similarities in their playing
styles. I don’t think Cadan is quite as strong/hard to put down
but I think he’s quicker and a better defender than Nowell.

I chatted to the guy behind me at BG13 in the second half and
our conversation basically followed what everyone here has said,
comparing him to both Williams & Lowe and the fact that he's one
of the players who you now look at the teamsheet hoping to see.

I see what you mean, but while Murley is strong for his size,
he's not really in the same league as nowell. Nowell could
probably do a fairly decent job as a flanker, in terms of his
work at the breakdown, his pick and go ability and his carrying
in heavy traffic. Murley is strong in contact and in defence,
but not sure you'd want to see him regularly crashing the ball
up.
That's not to say he can't be as good as Nowell, just in a
different way
