WN83 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hand on heart and as a Wigan fan, he is a decent player but I’d be amazed if he went on to cut out a career as a top level international player. He has enough about him to possibly make it as a Wigan regular but I’m far from convinced that he has enough to get to any sort of level that his father did.

Wigan Riversider Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Well he's up against it as his father was simply the greatest of all time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippet13 Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 He is 18 years old, debuted with a bunch of other kids against a full strength St Helen's team that is easily the best in the league, held his own and got praise from some very good judges for his confidence and resilience. Let's see how he goes when he plays with Wigan's full first team squad and not a side that spent the entire game on it's back foot before making comparisons with his father. If it's true about RU, the kick and clappers wouldn't be sniffing around the kid if they didn't think he had serious potential. They may be generally evil, but they aren't stupid. I hope he sticks with SL as I think he will make it, if that happens and he needs a fresh challenge then the NRL is a far bigger one than any RU comp ever will be.

sweaty craiq Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Insular RL fan mentality - confidence is so important with a youngster so lets shatter it. RU wont play him for at least 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a torrid time under a high ball and Saints peppered him with kicks, of which he dropped a fair few. But hey, you take the moral high ground.

moorside roughyed Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 If he's even half as good as his dad, he'll be a good un. He's 18 for gods sake. Why can't people try and think a bit more positively. The world's too full of negativity at the moment as it is. I wish the lad well whatever he decides.

Thick comment. Indeed, a comment like that deserves to come back to bite you one day. As of now he should be compared with his fellows. His future should judged when he plays as say a replacement in a SL game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 stone giant Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I would love for him to become a great player for England/GB. Firstly for his sake, but also because I'd love the link to the past of having a Hanley in the ranks when battling the Aussies. I wish him well.
