Quote: NickyKiss "Great news. The lad is blowing me away with how good he is. Our best since Carmont and the best in the league by a fair distance IMO.'"
I would agree with that. He's a throwback - good hands, good feet, and pace.
Great to get this lad tied down on a long term deal. He's been nowt but class since he joined us, makes very few errors, and comes up with some really important plays.
Centre is often an under valued position and I don't get why. Having a classy centre with a good understanding of his winger is a licence to rack up points.
Almost for as long as I can remember, we've had two recurring bugbears about the composition of the squad - two proper centres and size in the pack. Fair to say that those two issues seem to have been resolved for the foreseeable future.

We all love our academy but flexing our muscles and securing top tier talent from other clubs who have shown great potential but can improve in the Wigan system (Dupree and Wardle), has taken the squad to the next level.
Last time we signed like that was Sarginson and Bateman in 2014.
How underrated he is across the game staggers me. I'm not sure he's a top 5 centre in the World but there is potential for him to get there. He's the best in this comp without a doubt for my money. I saw a Wigan fan on the Superleague Raw podcast say he was our best since Carmont and the guys on there were shocked. They also had him missing out on the Dream team last year at one point towards the end of the season (and very few pundits mentioned Wardle in their teams), in favour of Keighran and King and we've seen plenty of all 3. I thought King was excellent for us and I've been happy with Keighran so far but neither are close to the quality of Jake Wardle.
