Strange player. If you were building a prototype modern second rower, you could build it on KPP, but he hasn't really strung it together, yet.

If he fulfills his potential, he'll be quite something.

As someone without a dog in the fight and no agenda... This is a terrible look for the Stuart and a really bad look for the club.

He's looked better this year than last, but that probably reflects the uptick in Wigan's form, as much as anything.
