McDonnell ran the kind of line for his last try that really reminded me of Faz. He has always impressed me.

I don't think there is any question that James has got the skill and ability to play at Super League level and having spoken with him on several occasions I have no doubt that he has the desire to compete at that level. For what it is worth, James sees himself as a forward not a centre.

Is he a Wigan lad?
Where did he play his junior rugby?
Thanks

He looked to have the size that some of our other youngsters are lacking.

Does anyone have height and weight stats for:
Havard, Partington, Byrne, Smithies, Shorrocks, McDonnell?

Havard - has the frame that can fill out - No worries here
Partington - Doesn't look very big in terms of height and weight to me.
Byrne - Looks fairly big, but not sure he could get much bigger
Smithies - On the smaller side, doesn't impact his tackling but only makes an impact running when out on the edge
Shorrocks - On the smaller side, doesn't impact his tackling
McDonnel - Looked big from what I can remember

Yes , played his junior rugby at St Judes or St. Pats? His dad is a big Irishman, used to speak to him in the Robin Hood Orrell when Wigan played their academy games there.
