Just seen that he's keen to leave Salford given that they've turned down a couple of offers from HKR. Is there any reason that he' d fancy HKR over anywhere else and, if not, should we be looking at making a move if Salford decide to let him go? Not seen much of him but he seems to have lots of potential and could be a good signing along with a more experienced prop for next season.

I think I mentioned a while back, ( when he said he wanted to play for England & I thought Waney may have said something to the club, ) that I thought he could be okay for us

Its a maybe from me, good prospect but we need a different style of prop I think.

We need a bit more size/height.
Junior is 6'5" Sam Walters is 6'6" so perhaps more that way. Ellis is 6'5", King and Wardle are 6'2'' or 6'3" and they are proving very good.
Dupree seems good but not for me for this Wigan squad right now.

From his career so far, looks like he's ready to move on whenever he thinks his career can benefit: Leeds, Oldham, Widnes, Salford, now HKR. So if we signed him and he proved to be good, he'd go to the NRL. If he's no good we keep him.

Height isn't everything. I'd rather a forward at 6'1/6'2 but built strong and tough.

Reported that we’ve made Salford an offer for him. Don’t know if this is to bring him in straight away?
