Quote: GSF "Difficult to say.I don't think he will be another Adrian Morley or Sam Burgess but he certainly has potential and the physique.I would put him on a par with Chris Hill at Warrington.The reason he has started as sub I think is because the club wanted to ease him in gently given his inexperience though he did play at Broncos down under last year in their junior set up.The disappointment at losing him though is because of his potential,not because how he has played so far this year,admittedly in a very poor side.'"
On a par with Chris Hill.
He is nowehere near that level of development yet.
An odd situation really but sadly we seem to lurch from one problem to the next this year.
Is it all about money or is it about going somewhere else where he feels he can be developed further in a better environment.
It is certainly a shock that a Widnes born, Widnes mad young guy who has been at every level of the academy system see's his future elsewhere. If that isnt a slight on the current setup then I dont know what is.
Time will tell if it is the right decision but SOC continual backing of those in the coaching positions suggests he will at least give himself as good a chance as possible of developing into a SL regular elsewhere.
