He's played plenty of rugby and never really done much. For half
his career he was stuck behind much better players. When he did
get a decent run his best returns in the league were 7 from 14,
7 from 15, and 5 from 14.
That 5 from 14 was last season btw, which as we're keeping up
the comparisons is where Murley got 11 from 12 in the league, to
go with 2021/22 (15 from 23), 2022/23 (15 from 18), and 2019/20
(7 from 13).
Rotimi has absolutely killed it in the Premiership Rugby Cup
though, to be fair to him.

So are Radwan, Wade, Ibitoye and Arundell. Between them they
have 17 caps - 14 of which are Arundell*
* I would have guessed he had at most 5 but apparently not

A better comparison is a player who was quicker than Segun -
Charlie Walker.
Except, hmm, now that I look at it, his strike rate of 27 from
47 in the league for Quins is quite a bit better than Segun's 27
from 59. 4 from 11 in Big Euro Cup vs 4 from 14, too.
Poor Charlie. Obviously should've been an England regular.

Calouri is an interesting one, isn't he? Because in *most* games
he doesn't score, but then you've got the two Sale games with 5
tries in each and a 4 try haul against Newcastle. Does that mean
he's a bit of a flat-track bully, only able to really shine
against terrible teams, or is it just the inconsistency of a
young player? I guess we won't know for a couple of seasons, but
if he scores 3 or 4 against Tigers this weekend, we'll have
strong evidence.

Yeah, 15 in 4 matches against Sale and Newcastle.
He looked pretty ordinary for a bit after the first Sale
thumping, and I wasn't particularly impressed with his U20s
displays, but he's got huge athletic gifts and a superb
attitude. One try-fest match like that might be a fluke, and 3
you could just about argue about, but 3 in the same season? A
debut season? I'd be amazed if he wasn't at the very least a
regular international in a few seasons time.
Feyi-Waboso got fast-tracked off a lot less, really. And that
paid off.
