| Quote MattyB="MattyB"I've seen Hanley play quite a few times for the around 6 of the last 8 years . I hope he goes on to have a great career at Wigan. The club have definitely promoted his face as part of 'The Hanley Brand' as a PR exercise maybe to bring in some lost support perhaps?
However.....(and I say this quietly).....
He ain't his dad, so don't expect a replica. Not even remotely.
From what I saw with his time at Shevvy, and clips in the Scholarships he's about as much of his dad as Lewis Tierney was to his dad. Half decent players compared to two world class superstars, of which one was arguably the best player that's ever lived.
Now he may have come on leaps and bounds over the last two years, hope I'm wrong and someone on here fills me with more confidence but I just can't see it.
I'm aware he could come up with the odd flash of brilliance aged 14,15,16 by the way. Obviously I'm not expecting anything like his dad but even do, I'm just not that convinced.
Happy to be proven wrong.'"
Jackson Hastings reckons he is going to be a superstar. Mind you Matty Smith said the same about Jake Shorrocks. |

| Quote Grimmy="Grimmy"I hope you're right, I was focusing on him which does lend itself to exaggerating one way or the other. I've looked back and it was 3 errors, not sure if that includes the ball steal or not. Errors by a full back do tend to be costly though as they tend to come deep in our own half after we have just defended a set. IMO it's the most unforgiving position to come through in. Look at Jack Murphy, his career was derailed by dropping one kick. Ideally I'd like to see Hanley out on loan to a Championship club if we didn't have so many injuries. Get him used to playing against grown men.'"
It's akin to being a goalkeeper in football. |

I think that is a fair selection. Personally, I would play Hastings instead of Smith, Byrne instead of Clubb and Hanley would be replaced by Sivo (only joking about the last one). |

We did, but when they were leading 18-6 at half time, they brought on 4 or 5 academy players 2nd half. |

Yeah I was working on the basis that Hastings is unavailable. If he's available I'd start him and play Smith from the bench. |

Yes, beat Saints (well, Saints academy really for most of the game) and lost to Wire. |

Prepared to eat my words. As I say will be more than happy to be wrong.'"
As you said the name Hanley brings with it a certain amount of baggage.
I hope he is given the time to develop without her expectations weighing on his shoulders.
When I look at young players some I look for attitude, others I look at athleticism. A good coaching system can normally develop the rest.
From what I’ve seen of Hanley (which is limited I have to say) is a natural athlete. He seems to me the type of player that will thrive under full time coaching.
Been hearing lots of positives from players regarding his pre season.
Fingers crossed he reaches his potential as if he does I am sure he can be a regular for Wigan in the next year or 2. |
