My Rhinos friend tells me his defence is suspect but going forward he is much better, overall he thinks he will be a marginal only improvement on Powell, I trust Peet to improve him.

Sounds like there's a bit of the green eyed monster.

Came on against Saints and gave Cats some good energy in both attack and defence. Did a really good kick return for about 20 meters or so, bouncing and spinning off the defenders not slowing down into contact. A brilliant tackle held up Lussick over the line as well.

First time I’ve seen him play. He does run the ball in hard but looks a bit on the small side for me. Not the big aggressive front rower that I was hoping for.

Exactly this, it’s funny how different people perceive things. He had good energy levels and made a half decent tackle that’s about it for me. He looks exactly what I thought, lightweight. Maybe he will be ok taking a carry in space after a big forward but under the pump in your own 20 he’s not gonna make enough yards I don’t think.

We are obsessed with signing under sized project forwards.

Not had a real quality one since Feka.
I have supported Wigan RL since the late 80s. First game was a cup tie v Barrow. Also a fan of football and Speedway. Have a varied taste in music.
