Thats the point he is not a winger, he is a centre or second rower but Wigan have been playing him on the wing.

Very good source and reliable, think he will come good as he is a centre or second rower and not a winger. Maybe he will show all the people who have slagged him off that he is a better player than they have given him credit for. I think he is a good lad and will be sad to see him go!
I don't think he's been slagged off that much - all everyone says is that he's not fast enough to be a back, which is clearly the case. He's an OK back row forward, but not as good as the ones we've already got.

Wigan do not need utility back rowers when they have few enough positions available for the good back row players that they already have (and coming through).

Colbon will "do well" at another club - but he will never "stand out" as one that got away.

If true, that's a good signing for them, IMO.
Fox on wone wing, Colbon on the other. Well it's east to see where the danger comes from when playing KR.
