So they’ve finally announced it months later, hopefully they’ll announce Bibby & Powell soon as well.

How do you mean?fozzieskem wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:07 pmMaybe just best to accept those have signed and move on?
They ain’t going anywhere are they I’d presume they’re staying so I’m past the point of worrying about it,the one I do think is odd is Thornley if he’s here say so but Powell and Bibby nothing to worry about it seems to meDan2266 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:10 pmHow do you mean?fozzieskem wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 10:07 pmMaybe just best to accept those have signed and move on?
Isa has not been Mediocre for us though, granted he has not been a game changing 2nd row/centre but he has been far from Mediocre.widdenoldboy wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 7:31 pmHope this doesn't have a negative impact on the young lads in thinking theyd get more opportunities elsewhere.blindsideprop wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 6:31 pm Surprising how many people are satified with mediocrity, Isa is a decent second row forward and nothing more.At 33 he should not be given a 2 year contract, but the reason he has is probably because we are not looking to splash out for a better younger player.Isa spent most of last season playing centre, a position he has not filled for a long time and is far too slow.This one of a few reasons why we scored so few tries.Just another example of Wigan showing a lack of ambition.
Moreover, this takes up a "non-fed" space so we are looking at losing one of Tommy/Field/French?
I cant remember seeing anything Josie, that's not to say they haven't.
This along with the fact he takes up a non-fed spot is why I find it odd a two year deal has been given to a player who turns 33 in January. In theory he isn't a starting 13 player so starts on the bench which is where you'd expect to see the likes of KPP etc next season.CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 9:53 pm Can certainly say Isa is worth atleast a 12 month extension, not quite sure on two years though.
If we retain and see the return of form from the likes of Farrell, Bateman, KPP and Smithies, might not see him feature much in 2023?
Good question of has he resigned as a second row or centre, for me, it's definitely in the pack (despite those who are infront of him).
Agree with those 3 players but Isa looks to be in great shape / fitness and is never injured.DaveO wrote: ↑Sun Nov 14, 2021 3:27 pm He will be 33 at the start of next season and 35 when he enters the last year of his contract.
Re-signing players of this age is idiotic but the club keeps doing it and it has not proved successful yet. Lockers, Clubb and Tommy all played on at this age and proved shadows of the players they were and Isa won’t be any different.
