Did he play Centre? I believe wing may be his position with us.

Yes he played centre.

Positionally in defence he was shocking flying out of the line all the time looking to destroy the Fijian attackers and when it worked it looked great, other times he looked ridiculous.

He’s clearly very physical I do though wonder if he will be able to adapt to defensive disciplined structure.

His effort was first class though even when caught out he would bust an absolute gut trying to get back and make up for it.

Genuinely look forward to watching him as I don’t believe it will be dull.

Encouraging this. Hopefully big Sam can chisel out a diamond.

I'll say. Why are we signing this aging little Wigan grub?. Could be Big Sam's first faux pas

Rather have him than Dwyer and talking of him suggestion on Wigan board is he is going to Salford with Partington coming this way. The rumour mill is going full steam ahead now

I was expecting a press announcement regarding the Powell signing, but there hasn`t been any breaking news yet.

Still don`t expect Dwyer to stay here and Salford need a hooker so that rumour about him leaving and Partington joining us, could be true.
