Quote ="NickyKiss"Hankinson’s chance to make a career here at Wigan definitely looks to be as a second rower IMO. I didn’t understand the clamour to get him in for Isa before trying him in the position but I think we now have an opportunity to use him from the bench to cover both the back row and the centre. He was outstanding defensively on Saturday and he’s a big lad but he looks a yard short as a top level centre.
If I were him I’d put my hand up for the back row with a view to putting some size on in the off season and I’d work and work at my goal kicking. There’s is still a place in this side for a proper goalkicker.'"
He did a post match interview on Wigan TV and said he prefers moving inside to 2nd row over moving out to the wing. He seems to knows his own game well enough but I agree, 2nd row seems a more likely position for him if he is to forge a career at Wigan.
