Yes, I think we can say that Tierney has definitely 'come of age' as being regarded as one of the SG1 elite. If he performs well in this high profile match then he will put himself in a very good place. I think there is little doubt that he is now ahead of Attwell and Coote and will possibly give Pawson a run for his money. I did think Kavanagh was going to eclipse Tierney but now I'm not as certain.
Bankes clearly impressing the powers that be and quite reasonably so.
