Maybe someone on here can offer a different opinion to me but having seem him play his junior rugby at Shevvy he was never that much of a stand out player. Obviously Wigan saw something in him at scholarship level, but left before getting much time in the reserves or first team.
When he got signed up I was talking to a couple of coaches from a local rival team and they were also surprised, their view was decent but not standout.
Willing to be converted. That said hope he has a great career.
There's loads of junior players who look world beaters in the North West Counties and do County & National teams from a young age who never end up anywhere near a first team debut. I'd go as far as saying it isn't always the players who look best/stand out through the academies that make the best first team players. Look at the likes of Kibula, Borough, Hampshire...and I'm sure more of you who watch more of our non-first team rugby can reel off a good few others.
