Hes looking to leave Leigh but wants to remain in Super League.
Local lad, no quota spot.
Thoughts?'"
A lot on here seem to put him on a pedestal from how good he was at junior level, I'm sorry but the truth is im not sure I've seen him have a decent game at senior level yet, infact most performances have been disastrous. Powell couldn't even get him going in a great side - And there's not many coaches better at bringing them through... I get the fact he is a Wakefield lad but theres no room for sentiment in this game if you want to be a top side.. Lets not forget as a junior Tommy Lee was tearing apart the Aussies and was probably rated one of the best junior players on the planet.. Until just about settling into a bang average utility player at Saints he spent years as a under par pivot.
Saying that on the contrary he is still very young and has time on his side, I would give him a chance at Wakefield if he was to come at the right price and came with the right attitude.
