Hes been at Wigan at least twelve months in some capacity, his dad posts regular updates on Instagram.

If he plays like his Dad we’ve a decent prop on our hands but right to exercise caution. There’s a long way to go yet.

He's a back rower.

You may be right.

Last I knew he was at Trinity but things have been very up in the air post the return to play since Covid.

Quite a few lads shifted clubs once things opened back up. Think a good few were training with their local pro team through lockdown then made the move when restrictions were lifted.

Just seen a picture of him with two kids (one was Lukas). I'm guessing the one who was at Trinity (or maybe still is) isn't Lukas.

Think maybe 1 + 1 in our favour would have been what we should have been pushing for. He’s a very good player but I feel his stock is diminishing and also he sits on that all important quota spot.

First choice in 2022, cover in 2023.

Fine by me.

He’s a cracking bloke and great to have around the team. Gives no less than 100% every time. I think 2 years is great.

I'm not. There are big changes coming at Wigan particularly with how the players behave and present themselves, Willie Isa sets a very high bar and the younger players can learn a lot from him.

I just hope he sits out the Saints games, for some reason the red mist descends when we play them and he's neither use nor ornament to us when that happens

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Sun Nov 14, 2021 3:40 pm  

I think Isa went off track last season, as did a few others in different ways. Looking in, it didn't seem like the players were managed or coached very well. I think the club have said this, indirectly, by stating the number of things that needed to change. In no way what so ever have th club said they want a continuation of the structures/process that Lam had, quite the opposite.

I really doubt we will see that level of silliness and frustration from Isa, nor do I hope we see the team as a whole look so clueless.
