I’m really frustrated with GW at the minute. He has the talent to be a leading HB and gain a starting position for England and GB&I but he’s just not performing whatsoever.

I don’t know whether that’s because of the way SW has set up or that’s genuinely the player he is, as in is his talent limited to a few decent passes and kicks per game? My other thought is have teams figured him out and what he does and he can’t adapt? I think the latter is more likely to be totally honest.

He looks lost to me on the field and plays like he can’t make a decision. A few times on Friday he tried his woeful hop skip jump and dummy and actually ran straight into Adam Milner. He tried it again a few more times as the game progressed and it was just awful.

Personally I’m absolutely astounded any NRL club are sniffing around him, his form doesn’t warrant it. I fear for him in that I think he’ll end up playing reserve grade before coming back to SL with his tail between his legs turning out for Huddersfield or Salford.

There’s no doubt he’s talented but I wonder how much. I wonder if he has the right playing attitude or attitude in general given the recent remarks and him signing a 4yr marquee deal. To me it stinks and it’s very disrespectful to a club who are paying through the nose for his salary for him to turn round and give us 2 years of bang average form and come out with an intent to leave.

Personally I’m leaning towards waving him off and bringing in two new HB’s. It’s clear he wants to go to the NRL, so let him go. I would have liked to have seen him playing under Lam and Edwards but he clearly doesn’t want to be at Wigan.
