Watching him against Scotland I thought he ran his blood to water. His stats bear that out; 30 tackles, 22 drives, 156 meters. I'll let him have his 1 mistake. If he isn't currently fit (?) and he puts in this effort he'll be one big asset.

Impressed with him going off last nights game.

He seemed to be a real handful and made good yards but what I liked the most was his aggression when things got lively in the middle.

Our pack is looking very strong next season when you factor in Hopkins too.

The beauty of next seasons signings are the unknown potential they have IMO. When you look at lads like Pettybourne, Hopkins, Clubb, Sarginson etc they all come with that bit of an unknown element to them and all look to have room to improve massively in Wigans system.

I'm really looking forward to it all starting again.

Only saw part of the match between USA & Oz today but what I saw of Pettybourne really impressed me. His ability to offload successfully in the tackle augers well for next season.

I will pass on his latest hairdo.

He also showed throughout the tournament he had that nasty edge to him that we at times lack. I think he will go well for us.

117m, and 35 tackles today. impressive stats.

I was at the game today in Wrexham.

Eddy played No. 10, was aggressive, ran in hard and straight and has an offload. Tackled Billy Slater out of the match!

The 62-0 score does the USA a bit of an injustice IMO. Two Aussies tries before half time came off the back of some very poor refereeing in my opinion.

The Aussies scored after the kick off at the start of the game getting the ball back after it bounced off the posts as well.
Not the sort of bad luck you need when playing the Aussies.

That said the USA never looked like scoring. They got close to the Aussie line several times but the USA no 6 was useless when they did and didn't look like he had a clue.

Anyway back to Eddy. Looked really good to me and really took the ball to the Aussies. As Jonh said he is aggressive . Very much looking forward to seeing him in the Cherry 'n While next season.

That wasn't Eddy it was a sub No.15.

I really like the look of Pettybourne full of work, I'd be wry surprised if he isn't starting at Prop in the majority of our games next season.

Thought it was Eddy but fair enough. I agree with what you say for next season. Looking forward to watching him play for us.

Has looked OK throughout the tournament and i'm sure he will improve once he is fully match fit , but i think the fella that saints have signed 'masoi' (spelling may be wrong) looks a better proposition, he has looked awesome

Been really impressed with Pettybourne - I can see why we have signed him, particularly with his controlled aggression and thats good to see with a young pack of forwards.

Masoi will clearly be a fans favourite and will fill the gap vacated by TP but I do wonder if he could be exposed in defence? big man to put down and I think he will do really well in Super League.

Overall though the Wigan pack is looking very strong but I think that it will be Hopkins who will surprise most Wigan fans next season - he really is an important signing and a player our rivals would love to have in their squad.

Controlled aggression is a good way to sum up the way Pettybourne played today I think. I took a mate of mine to the game as I had two free tickets. He is a Saints fan and said at one point something like "Well you have lost Hock so I suppose you need another thug" and that made me smile because he wasn't a thug at all but was, as you say aggressive.
