Quote: Saddened! "Great signing from Warrington, but got to be massively concerning for Wigan. He's clearly their best young forward and now they can't keep him not only away from the NRL, but from a Super League rival. Bizarre stuff.'"
The problem is we are stacked at second row and his pathway to becoming a starter in the first team won’t come easy no matter how good a prospect he is. We have 2 senior England back rowers who have plenty of years left on the clock and good players both further along in their development and also coming up behind him. It’s a salary cap sport and I’m guessing we have deemed his demands too high for someone who isn’t in the match day squad which is fair enough it’s just a little frustrating we didn’t get him tied down on a reasonable wage sooner.
