Great new film available to watch on sky on demand.

Details his career then documents his “last season”.

Really well done, my favourite Wigan player and one of the best to play SL.

Some of the behind the scenes comments he was making to other players were eye opening!


I think the same production company is making a film for Wigans 2024 season, I’d love the quadruple to be won for that reason.

Watched it on Saturday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good to listen to the on pitch sledging and even the part with the Tomkins trot where he knocks us out of the play offs wasn't as bad as I thought. Its clear how much he is respected by the other pros

Definitely one of the greatest to ever play the game.

I will say it again, he is the best fullback I have ever seen at Wigan and there have been some good ones.

I've watched Wigan for 70 years and he's the best fullback I've seen here. He's up there with Bell, Edwards and Hanley in that he hated losing more than he enjoyed winning.

Is it available online at all?

Really enjoyable and illuminating watch. The on pitch sledging was very amusing especially when he singled out Holroyd and after he was hit in the face by a Saints player.

His first spell at Wigan he was ridiculously good and he adapted his game brilliantly when injuries robbed him of some of his flair.

Nice to see how respected he was amongst his opponents.
