Not just about being bigger, he has that type of body that just glides and avoids massive hits. He also has a great rugby brain, and his positioning in Attack and D is spot on most of the time. I actually think Wigan completely wasted him at centre for too long…..
To be fair, I don't think anybody at Wigan thought that centre was where we would see the best of his talents. We even had a spell of playing him at FB over French at the start of last season, where he was briefly excellent.
When he has his head screwed on, he's still a very good FB and a slightly above average centre. But to say Wigan wasted him at centre suggests that he should've been playing full back in front of Field or French, and to be honest I really don't think there's a good case for that at all.
