Rumours around Barrow at the moment are suggesting a young centre is on their way from Wigan?

I think Thornley will become a very good player and as Tricky Dicky has said well done to him and his parents for carrying on with his education.
For that reason I do not see a loan spell at Barrow being the right choice for him as he will be along way from college. He is still only 18 years of age so another year in the Wigan reserves would probably be his best option until he has finished his A levels.

No doubt he'll get shoved in the second row as we always seem to do in this country with lads his size.

You can't beat Dave Wood as a rugby coach

"Sorry lads I don't have your 'Winstanley brains'! Didn't go to college, me, I don't get why it's a good idea to drop the ball! You brain surgeons can't put on a simple rugby move!"

We must hold onto this guy though seriously! Future first team centre I hope! He is a giant for his age.

He's a good reserves player but the hype about him particualry last year when there when there supposedly Union interest was over the top IMO. He did used to stand out in the academy alot, but he was physically alot bigger than most of the opposition.

Good player but has a long way to.
