Paul Clough : Wed Feb 11, 2009 3:10 pm  
Not trying to pile pressure on the kid but Im expecting big things from him this year.

I am very impressed by his deceptive strength and his ability to have 4 men hanging on him but yet carrying on to walk up the field.

Also his abilty to spin in a tackle and close to line (as shown in the game at HJ against Wire last year)

With him being so young I can only see things getting better from him.

*Future England/Great Britain star*

Star? Bit much.

IF he continues to develop at the pace he has been, he will be a phenomenal player at his peak. Expecting it now is asking a lot. Let him keep developing, adding new facets to his game and he should feature for England at the end of the year.

Very underlooked by opposition fans.

I've never noticed why everyone on here thinks so much of him.

What exactly elevates him beyond the level of your average Tim Jonkers, John Stankevitch, Mike Bennett kind of player? He's too small, isn't particularly strong or quick?

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.

For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.

Wigan had eight in a row

By some maybe.
I was pushing his abilities years ago.

My only concern was that some on here wanted to move him up to prop forward, and I don't think that his anywhere near big enough at this stage in his career.

Hes a second row, not a prop because of exactly the reasons you gave, he is too small to play prop at the minute. Maybe at the later stages of his career. However, he has played the odd game at prop for us, and he's held his own. I'd rather see him in the second row though.

You're an exception because (occasionally) you let your guard down and act like a rugby fan rather than a Wigan fan. :wink:

I'll always give praise to young up and coming players regardless of which team they play for.

However, as you know I've no time for over hyped geriatrics.
Is that more in character? :lol:

Wigan RLFC - The Biggest Laughing stock in the history of Rugby League.

Well lets compare him to the best second rower in the world (according to the whinos)

http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... eason=2009

Quite comparable methinks. One is youngster finding his feet, the other is an experienced campaigner.

He was impressive last year. Another season like that would be great.
