8 stone.

Should play against the All Golds

Scored another scorcher today, which left Neil Turley suggesting he was faster than Offiah.

Though some Wigan fans are convinced Richards and Colbon are quicker than him.

Highly amusing.

10 tries in 8 games now.

I haven't seen much of him, is he all pace and nothing else or is he an acomplished all round player?

From the games he's played he has looked impressive.

Fastest player in SL by some margin (though I think maybe Paul White would run him close)
He is safe under the high ball though after playing Basketball all his life before turning to rugby has probably aided him in this respect.

He just lacks strength and is a weak tackler, but this will come to him when he matures.

Did nothing other than his try though, which was quite simple, just needed anyone with a bit of speed.

And yes, he was out-paced by Colbon, Richards and Goulding. So he isn't the fastest in SL.

Must have had a crash course in tackling this week, he made 2 or 3 try saving tackles from clean Wigan breaks.

I was talking about with ball in hand to be honest.

He didn't come in-field looking for work like I thought he would have done.

That be the job of the forwards, remember Warrington do have a capable pack.
We don't have to rely on Penny to cart the ball in.

Were you at the game today then? So was his try a simple walk in and how many Wigan tries did he save with last gasp tackles
