Massively agree with this. Trueman as a 20 year old has done some very good things for us (Cas) Considering he has come in and played fullback in 2018 as we never replaced Zak then went back to halfback and has never really had a settled partner alongside him (think we have used 6 different halves with him!) I just wish the fan fare settled down a bit as the pressure can sometimes get to the young ones like him. It was similar to Joe Westerman when he was with us. Huge praise and he never materialised into what people thought.

I was annoyed he got a red tbh

only because he avoided a pummelling of our lads

Partington is one of these players you love if he plays for you, but would hate if he played for anybody else. For what its worth I hate all the clapping other player's mistakes, ruffling their hair, patting them on the head etc. I know its part of the game, but it just annoys me.

Roughly on the same subject, how long will it take Jackson Hastings to turn from all round good bloke, sensational player etc to 'insert rodent here' boy when he starts playing for Wigan

I already told him when they played wire after wembley

Roughly .3 of a second into his first game

I am not. Powell also said he was world class, hence my comment.

I actually like the lad and think he has bags of potential, but that is a long way from claiming he is world class! The biggest mistake he made was choosing Castleford over Wigan.

I hope so, that will signal that opposition fans are envious and worried.

Partington will cost you dearly in a big game if he carries on with the housery.

He did something similar in the championship last year for Swinton and someone whacked him, didn't see him much after that.

As good of a player as he is and could be refs will eventually wise up to it and the penalties will go the other way.

What housery is that?

We’ll see but he looks a master of his craft to me. He’s winding the opposition up, not the other way round and there’s probably two things that could happen. He either gets an opposition player penalised (or worse) or an opposition player legally belts him (which hasn’t happened so far).

FWIW i would much rather he concentrated on being a very good and very promising rugby league player than the 'antics'. He has got a reputation already and has put a big target on his back saying 'smash me' It is a very unusual trait to have, seems hell bent on winding the opposition up. I know young lads are cocky and young rugby league players in particular. Takes a while to mature if at all. He doesn't need to do it for me. Let his rugby do the talking.
