I think he was probably named at prop as I don't remember seeing him listed in the backrow in the Leeds lineup last season. But he was definitely running wider than what you'd expect from a traditional prop and with good lines and an offload threat. Regardless, its where he'll be playing at Wigan (particularly as there are more than enough front rowers when everyone else is fit).

And we’re stacked for second rowers so it’s the best move for him, still don’t think they’ll get the best out of him at SR

Given comments made probably best for all parties he’s gone. I still think he could become an England international but… he could be a Gareth Hock type: talented but trouble.

He might be telling it as it is regarding intensity. It's never the be all and end all though. Part and parcel of most seasons, seeing a super committed side scratching heads when outsmarted. That said, I think Wigan will be very, very difficult to dislodge from their perch. Very impressive title - plus they look a side that knows exactly how to win.

Wigan will be good and I like Peet. I still think Walters is in for a torrid time against some ex team mates - all adds interest to the fixtures against Wigan which is good.
Not sure re intensity comments but I think we will be putting the players through their paces this year.
