Quote ="little wayne69"Simple question, if you were him with the talent he has at his possession would you go to a club just to provide back up, Wane at Wigan assured him that he and Williams would be the half back combination instead he used him as a stop gap in various positions due to injuries, Powell made him no promises at Cas but due to the form of their backs had to play anywhere to get a game.
While Hampshire was in Aus, Jukesy rang him and begged and prayed him to come and play at Leigh promising him the moon on a stick and never played him in the halves, so is it any wonder the kid gets mixed reviews, all he needs is a chance to show how good he is with a decent run of games at half back you won't be talking in terms of a decent back up then.'"
So you think he should be demanding a starting half position in SL? Outstanding talent at junior level, i`m yet to see anything from him at senior pro level to suggest he`s anything above average at best, harsh but true.
You can say that`s down to him not getting a chance in that position but the record shows that every club he has been at he`s been seen down the pecking order.. From coaches that see him every day at training, set pieces, everything. Powell tried him and then played Mcshane and even Millington in the halves instead of Hampshire when injury struck, Wane tried him and decided he wasn't as good as the other options he had in young players, Jukes tried him and decided he wasn`t as good as the second rate Aussie they had brought in - All from coaches that see him day in day out. Or is it just because they dont like him?
Im all in favor of signing him, i think he will eventually come good, and what better place than his home town club, but to suggest that at the moment he`s too much of a talent to play back up at a SL club for me is just ridiculous - He needs to come prove all those rave reviews at this level, and so far its not been seen consistently.
