There's rumours around Wigan that we are looking to secure his services for next season and it is almost a done deal. Has anybody heard anything of this rumour? Thanks in advance.

Yep, heard it here a while ago. Done deal I've been told.

Early in the season rumours of a fallout , with the coach, his brother, the club, take your pick, was left out of the team for a while, played in the reserves , and its unusual for first team squad to do that???.
Is a good forward and been an ever present for Giants until Nathan/brother arrived ???
Sculthorps on loan?, personally don´t want him, attitude problem, the Giants are a happy ship
iust rumours
But Nathan will want to make changes, and he/we need to kick on.

I would be quite happy if you took him now. he is capable of so much more than he is giving now and i do not think his heart is in it. happy to let him go he is probably our 5th choice prop now.

How do you rate him?

To me, he doesn't seem to grab headlines but seems to do a job.

Can be superb when he applies himself, doesnt seem to be currently applying himself

Agree with the other poster - when he wants to perform he can be a sgood as any prop forward in the game but something is not right this year and it's not happening for him - oherwise he's a cracking player !

Same happened at Wakey, played really well for a couple of seasons and then just seemed to lose interest and became a liability. Constantly signalling to be subbed off, shirking the big hits and just generally plodding in attack - Hence the "teapot" monicker.

But he is a cracking prop when he wants to be.

I don't think he has got that bad yet. He is just playing very average. Last season he was outstanding and IMO one of the best props in SL. This season he is doing the basics and nothing more.
