One thing O'Carroll does not lack is the right attitude. He is right out of the Micky Mac, Hansen mould. Players like that are worth a lot.cherry.pie wrote:That's the best I've seen Dudson play since I arrived at Wigan. Nothing spectacular just lots of hard work and no errors that I can think of.
The problem seems to be trying to get him to put that much effort in consistently. Since he's only 21 there's time for improvement if he's willing to put the work in.
I was definitely impressed with him today and I'd say as a cheap cover player with potential he was worth signing. If the choice was trying to outbid Hull to keep O'Carroll or signing Dudson then the right decision has been made.
Dudson did well today and could be a very good player but he won't make it at Wigan if he has the wrong attitude. I think its pretty easy to spot players who will graft and graft and graft to be good players. Hansen, Micky Mac, J Tomkins (wish he were still here), Farrell and Lockers stand out attribute is hard work. I love these kind of players.
Hopefully this work ethic will rub off on Dudson and if it does he could be very, very good. He has got to want it though and be willing to out the effort in. His ex-Crusader compatriot Flower has got the right attitude. Doesn't think he's made it just because he has signed for Wigan. I am not suggesting Dudson does think that but you get the point. Hard work is the key to Dudson's future here.
