He'll remain in 1st all year now barring injury, good player.

good to hear that flash is doing well. struggled to break into the wigan side last season, but showed that he could be a very good player.

if he had stayed with wigan i could really see him struggling to get into the side again, with the quick rise of Lee Mossop. it would be good to see how Mossop and Joel Tomkins would get on in the NRL, not to mention Joels little brother Sam.

from what i have heard, if flash is ever to come back to Super League Wigan have first choice on him, could be a future path for the best young english players, to get a couple of years playing in the NRL, even if they dont play many games, then to come back to SL.

Wouldn't surprise me if there was 10 in the NRL next season.

Widdop needs to see first-grade pretty soon. Barring injury to Slater, we all know he's not going to do that at Melbourne. Yeah, he might jag a few games over Origin, but there's no hope of displacing Slater after that, so I think he needs to find another club. I don't know how long he's contracted to Melbourne for, but he's got to show himself in the NRL quick, as there's already a few [iyounger[/i fullbacks who've come through who i'd rate better than him. Fullback in the NRL is too competitive to come into at 23/24 years old.
