Quote ="al283"What can't be doubted with Bienik is his size and power, which sadly others lack.
Fully agree he has disappointed but has been hampered with injuries, I gather the concern is more with his stamina ?
Remember the scrabble for his signature & Phil Clarke hailing him as the next big thing ? Personally can't see him NOT being in the top 25 earners, he appeared a fair bit in the first team two years ago.
Just hope we don't give up on him too soon, sure the coaching staff will share that sentiment & will be doing all in their power to get the best out of him. Still think we are a prop short, if he starts the season well at Leigh then surely he could be recalled ?'"
With Bienek I think people forget he is still only 21. Also you need to factor in he isn't a northern lad who has grown up in and around the RL world like others such as Brad Fash & Jack Brown etc. He's also moved away from home at a young age too which will all be a factor in his development plus he has struggled a bit with niggling injuries.
I do think the club feel and believe that he can develop in to a very good player and as al283 said he does possess size and power.
Way too early to write the kid off and think the loan deal at Leigh will be more than beneficial in his development getting regular game time at that level as opposed to reserve team.
