Rid him of the mistakes brought on by concentration lapses and we've got a supreme athlete there.

I just hope we give him a run at centre now.

Forgive my ignorance but why isn't he considered a centre or a second row.
He seems to be a real physical handful and can play a bit with a decent turn of speed.

I think he is. Just seems to have made most of his Wigan appearances on the wing because... *shrugs*

Glad to hear he had a good game last night. Looks a hell of a player when he's up for it, think he needs a good run in his favoured position to really impress. Hope he gets that chance!

Because he's not first choice in either position, so his appearances depend on who else gets injured - eg in 2012 all ( If I remember rightly) his appearances were covering for when Richards was injured. Last year and this, most of his games have been at centre.

He's got a great chance now to keep that left centre spot, with Thornley out for the season, and so far seems to be taking that chance - Sargenson is his main competition when everyone else is fit, with Bowen, Charnley, Goulding and Burgess pretty much nailed on in the other 4 spots.

Having said that, as others have pointed out, Goulding's form seems to have dipped a bit this year.

I get that he hasn't been first choice, just always seemed to me that he never got as much of a go at centre than Thornley did. That said it's Wane who sees them train each week to make the call about who plays.
