i've just posted something very similar on the Wigan Fans forum.
He's still only 21 and been in a professional environment, and plenty time to fulfil his potential. Getting game time on loan is currently better than the reserves competition which isnt good enough for players who fall out of academy age, but not quite in the 1st team squad
It will be interesting to see what his next move is, whether he wants to stay at Wigan or if Wigan see a future for him. At the minute in terms of props he is behind Thompson, Havard, Byrne, Dupree, Mago, Ellis, Hill and Walters, so not all of them are getting regular game time at Wigan, so a tough gig at prop at the minute
