seemed to go alright at Wire a few years ago.
When he first emerged he was seen as a real prospect. There had been talk about him in our youth system for a while (and we don't get much talent to get excited about in Warrington) and when he broke into the team he looked like he would justify the hype: strong, fast, a real handful. He was a fringe player for a couple of years then scored 20 tries in his first season as a starter. Then he got some injuries and was not the same player. In the final TS season when things were going badly wrong, he copped a lot of stick from the fans and looked lost for confidence.
I was never sure whether he was a superstar prospect whose abilities were compromised by injuries, or whether he looked better than he really was because he emerged in a side that was a dominant attacking force in the peak TS era at Wire.
