I’d give Shorrocks a good few more games before passing a real judgement on him. He’s a lad who’s suffered knee injuries on a couple of occasions just as his career has been on an upward curve and he’s then had to rebuild. As things stand you’d say he’s possibly not good enough but he has got better and better at seven over these last few games and it makes me wonder just how much more improvement he’s got in him. I guess it’s quite a bit and as he feels more confident and comfortable we’ll hopefully see him pulling the strings like he used to for the under 19’s.
He was way off playing in a pre season friendly against Swinton last year, didn’t pull up any trees for Salford on loan or in he reserves but he looks a different player at the minute and that can only be match fitness and confidence.
I’d say another factor is better players around him too. Last season’s Salford we’re not good and whilst our form has been poor overall, he came into the side because injuries meant he had to. Now that we’re getting a few back, he’s looking better.
