Oh how times change.
When I started watching the game the only measure of a full back was whether he could kick goals. Now they've actually got to be able to catch the ball and be an auxiliary half back as well. Oh, and have blistering pace. Life was much simpler back in the good old days. not that we won anything then either, mind.

Not on his performances for Wigan he's not. He's lost them more games than he's won. Maybe was a good player in the NRL but that counts for nothing now. Wigan aren't letting him go because he's a great player

True, it's because the chosen one is returning and the shirt & salary cap need to be ready to be blessed by his presence.

Forgot about him. Still doesn't take away from the fact Bowen has been very hit and miss

He seemed to struggle early on. He was abysmal when they played the Roosters down under. Since he got settled in though he's been good whenever I've watched him. I thought he was excellent against Leeds last week.

Last time i saw him play he had a stinker, think it was the saints game, coughed up the ball a couple of times and let one bounce over his shoulder for crucial tries. Certainly wouldn't want him in over an up and coming English lad.
