Mixed reports on whitehead about how his attack is pretty good but in defence he's suspect ? And he can chance his arm one too many times with the offload ? But it's from the Bradford fans.

I wouldn't break the bank for him as I don't rate him as high as Bateman (wire bound ?)

He's young and mobile however and would complement Faz and take a bit of pressure off him

You ask who is he similar to.

Maybe Bobby Irvine.

This is going to sound harsh, but in reality he'll not be missed at the club. Doesn't offer anything that other players can't in his position.

Was very average by OUR standards.

You have to respect his attitude and reasons for leaving. He wants to play every week and playing second fiddle isn't enough for him.
I liked his attitude and commitment, every club needs good solid grafters, all the best to him at Wakefield.

I think last night was a perfect example of why we didn't move heaven and earth to keep him.

Last night was his big chance to show Wigan what they've lost. He was, for once, one of the more experienced guys in the side and was given the minutes many have said he needs to be effective.

It has to be said that it just didn't happen for him at any point and he went pretty much unnoticed for the 80mins.

He should have smashed it last night

We might but moving Hansen to prop would IMO be a travesty. If we haven't got a prop who can do that we need to sign one. As is pretty obvious I don't rate Lauaki but his one positive attribute is his offload. If he is the best offloading prop we have we need to sort this out but not with H out of the back row.



Depends what you mean by reminds you of someone but Lee Gilmore wasn't afraid to leave Wigan and had an excellent career elsewhere. Not sure they are the same kind of player though.
