A great talent, with all the right skills, a good rugby brain and heaps of passion for the Cherry & White. He has great balance, a jinking/side-step style of running and is very vocal on the pitch..........all fantastic attributes for someone who is only 19 years of age.
This lad can only get better and better as he grows in confidence as a regular first teamer - I suppose that the challenge will come when teams double-mark him and try to close him down as with Trent.................but if the
team plays as it did last night and steps up to the plate as a unit, this will create other opportunities and gaps on those occasions.
As Trent Barrett correctly stated after going back to Australia - Wigan already had his successor in Sam.
It's great to see that there is a core of young Wigan lads becoming established first team players. As Ged Byrne stated in the South Stand Bar before the match, there is no greater pride in pulling on your home team's shirt for the first time - these lad's are now proving that they have got the hunger and pride to do this constantly.
Long may it continue
