He definitely had that X Factor, his heart just wasn't in it.

Nail on the head there, big fast lad who bullied his way through juniors but no bottle playing against men, never forget daryll Powell standing over him saying get up to soft friend after rolling around on the floor football style after Barrie Mac close lined him, think his own team mates thought the same as well.

I think in the modern game he'd be an absolute wrecking ball, great edge runner with the ability to bring others into play.

That wasn't the same Simon Haughton who barged through half the Aussie team to score one of the best individual British tries I've ever seen in a Test match.

Lucky for Powell and Barrie Mac they didn't encounter him that day.

The lad blew hot and cold, and his heart wasn't in it long-term, but on his day he could be a world-beater.
