Size and athletic ability to be one of the very best but either doesn’t have the drive or the confidence to manage it so far. He is 28 years old yet I still see him as an inexperienced junior because that’s how he plays. I thought he’d cracked it last season but he’s struggled this season in his limited spells. If the penny ever drops with the lad he could be anything but there hasn’t been too many signs so far. I will be sad to see him go though because not many lads can move a frame of that size at the pace he has but he’s flattered to deceive so far.

If Powell rates him that highly then he would have been at Castleford by now. Seems its down down deeper and down ...

Looks like a Championship level player in SL. Certainly big enough but that's about it. Rather see Doro get more of a chance.

Well how would he have been at Cas by now if he's been contracted to Wigan? If Powell only first got to see him whilst in Super League he couldn't have signed him.

Re: Joe Bullock : Thu May 20, 2021 10:29 pm  
Powell could be the man to unlock the potential in Bullock. It’s huge IMO. He’s a freakish bloke really in that he’s 6ft 4 and about 17-18 stone but he is pretty rapid. The issue to me is that his mentality seems quite weak. He lacks belief by the looks of him and seems to just want to pick up his money and do a fair job but not push himself. He bugs the life out of me as a Wigan fan because I keep saying that he should be playing for England based solely on his physical attributes.

Potential-huge

Reality so far-reasonable

Talking about a 28 year old having potential is a bit strange though but if Powell makes the penny drop then you never know.

From what I saw of Bullock in 2020, there was a lot to like. Haven't seen much of him this year, but he's a good prop in the making.

Big fan of Bullock, can’t wait til he’s back. Was good last season when we were awful and he looked very effective this season.

I can imagine that JB will learn a great deal from Mr Vaughan and be a much better forward for it
