Quote: NickyKiss "People watching the game last week will have got a fair indication of his defensive ability as well. He was solid as a rock and pulled off the tackle of the game on Westerman on our try line in the first half. It was in our left corner and I'm not sure how he stopped him.
He looks a good fit for this type of Wigan side tbh. He'll defend for his life and get good, accurate ball to the outside backs and obviously Sam Tomkins.
He doesn't need the pressure of the starting 6 jersey for 2013 though.'"
We'll get a good indication of what Powell is like in a high intensity game (should he play on Sat)
If he looks comfortable, I'd have no problem having him as our 6 next season.
Young, British halves didn't do Leeds any harm, did it?
Get Powell and Smith into a settled partnership and they should go well in SL imo.
