How do you know it isn’t?

Would we be talking about getting coaches in for goal kicking, if Hank was kicking?

We wouldn’t, but Hank isn’t good enough to play for Wigan.

Give up.

Neither was willie isa but hes now playing centre atm and getting good reviews….. my honest take on hanks was hes a grest goal kicker and was playing really well in a good winning team……. He got dropped when injured players returned and never got another decent shot at it…….. on the goal kicking ,he was doing brilliant in his short stint and zak seemed to kick better straight after this for a short period…..whether its due to competition or not, im not sure, but zaks kicking has slowly gone backwards and definitely needs addressing

Totally disagree with you Nathan, it was Wane who signed Hank and he proved his worth in many games previously, not sure what your beef is with Hank?

He is contracted for 2 years why not use him, another Lam error if you ask me?

Each to their own, it's no coincidence when Hank was in camp Zak improved his kicking, now there's no competition or Lam is happy with his selections

Two coaches in a row believe Hank is not good enough. That is enough for me.

I thought that at the end of Shaun Wain’s reign he was out injured with a detached retina, courtesy of a stray finger from Tommy during a game.

And look how a similar injury curtailed Matty smiths career at saints.

Hank may be able to kick but that's the only thing he offers to us, at 2nd round, centre,wing we have better players. Some people may point to Bibby but Hank could not do what Bibby has done this season he isn't quick enough to beat a man.

If it is then the practice is quite poor and not showing improvement for Zak.

And that was his debut game wasn’t it or as near as dammit anyways

Sad to say he was worth a punt but Hankinson isn’t good enough for super league.

The problem is we live in a salary cap sport. No way in a billion years do we spend our cap money on centres or wingers. The spine is where the quality needs to be. If it means the money left goes on the likes of Hankinson at center - so be it
