Quote ="Grimmy"He's class. Makes me laugh all the people slagging IL and co off for not signing a replacement for Richards! Likely the same people who will call them rotten when Hampshire and Powell replace Bowen and Green'"
I think I have always been able to recognise potential in a young player during my nearly 60 years of watching Wigan ,I first watched Burgess in the 9s a couple of years ago and even then you could see the confidence in his own ability which coupled with his pace made him stand out.
But what I noticed then and am still seeing now is the ability to do the simple things right, all good players make a mistake from time to time but never seem to panic.
Wigan have had players who could be great one minute and then commit an howler of a mistake the next, David Hodgson was a player who could go the length of the field and then the next minute drop a simple ball or miss a tackle even though not under pressure.
But Grimmy I beg to differ in your comment that Hampshire will replace Bowen. Hampshire could set the league alight as a standoff.
Just an opinion, but I will stick by it.
