great game against leeds
usually plays wing but switched to second row
handled it really well
facing one of the toughest if not the most toughest packs in superleague
thought he tackled well and had a great game

I agree with what you say. He played second row in the academy and looked good there, playing Leeds was a bit of a step up but he looked very dangerous. Perhaps he has been wasted on the wing because he best asset is the way he runs at the line and is able to break a few tackles.

He is not the best winger or best second row at Wigan but you need more than 17 players in a squad and he could be an excellent squad player covering backs and forwards.

Jack of all trades master of none sums him up.

Don't doubt his heart or his commitment but in every position he has played we have better players.
