That’s what I meant. We should of let Isa go before the other two lads left.Charriots Offiah wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 9:34 pmThere’s no one in the academy ready to step up yet. We lost the two guys who could have stepped up to Wire and Leeds respectively, which is a very worrying. Far more worrying than lads going to the NRL in my view as it smacks of Wigan not being willing, or unable, to match offers being made by our competitors!Barney841 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 9:19 pmSmithies is a new Isa but obviously younger and fitter.w.thomas wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 8:53 pm Some very good meters made by Ellis, Cooper and smithies, thought smithies was excellent. He’s come on leaps and bounds compared to partington IMO. Partington 6 carries for 25 meters….if anyone thinks that’s good enough for Wigan they need a check up from the neck up. Doesn’t get anywhere near the team for me.
Another reason why we need to let Isa go, let smithies take on from him and bring another second rower through from the academy.
As for Smithies, he is in a different class than Willie.
They might not of been completely ready but we have batty, faz, smithies and KPP as well at the moment.
Isa isn’t getting any younger
