Just wondering what you guys thought of Colbon are. How's he done in his almost three seasons there?

Sad to see him go off injured yesterday.

1st season he was solid if not spectacular. 2nd season he started like a house on fire then got his jaw broken in Catalan. After 2 months out he came back and has never looked the same player.

He's now a shadow of the lad we had back in 2009. I'd expect him to move on at the end of the season. Shame, as he always tries hard but he's becoming a scapegoat for the current poor run of performances.

He's seemed to have gotten his act together again in the last two games. Very unlucky with injuries after his broken jaw was compounded by a shoulder(?) injury a week before his return.
Very good at kick returns and finishing, bit of an unsung hero when on form for me. (Had a shocker at Salford)

We went into the old town with some Wigan fans after the game and during our after match anyalsis we dicussed among other things the pluses and negatives of Colburn as a player, the Wigan fans we spoke to commented that he was a good squad player at Wigan and always gave 100% but was never going to set the world on fire, aparently he played quite a few of his games at second row during his time there.
After seeing him for myself over the last couple of seasons i think i would have to aggree with most of their opinions, last year before his jaw injury his kick returns were very good and his finishing from 20/30 yards from the opposition line was also commendable, however, since his injury he seems to have lost much of his confidence and has almost certainly gone backwards as a result. As someone has already commented, he had a very poor game against Salford and was at fault again on Friday for at least one of Wigans trys.
I do hope he makes a comeback from his latest injury but wether he will be any more than a good squad player in the future is debatable imo.
