You're probably right, certainly not considered top class by NRL standards, but probably would have done a job in SL (if fit). I think people were clinging on to the hope that the club had somehow stumbled upon this great rough diamond, but in reality, sadly it seems we were no nearer to taming him than anyone else.
IMO it was kind of worrying when people said that they had seen him out drinking within days of him being here - even though a lot of Widnes fans thought this was great and a sign of him settling in well.
