Quote: NickyKiss "There was some talk after the Saints and Wire games about where people thought he’d end up positionally. Some say loose forward, others second row but I think the reality is that if he’s at Wigan long term, it will always be in the role he’s filling at the moment and that is being a utility back up, covering 11,12,13, 6 and maybe even 9. I don’t think he has the natural attributes to excel in any one position but he’s got enough talent to never let you down wherever you put him and his workrate/commitment is unquestionable.'"
I can’t agree with the last part of this NK. His effort is not in question, (like Powell) but his ability is extremely lacking. He has far more poor games than good games so to say he’ll never let you down is a stretch too far for me. He’s not good enough to hold down a place our strongest 17. He’s a squad player at best and there are others in front of him in all the positions he’s capable of playing.
