It's easy to criticise this move but is there anyone of real quality available at the moment not sure there in this country at least and if you down under you only get the dog botherers or untried players so as a holding pattern it makes sense
Therein lies the issue though you aren't trying to replace with quality so if you were going to market for someone to replace ISA you'd be looking a a prospect or a utility who can expect game time only when injuries are heavy
So that's why its all down to wage, if he's on a first team wage then its a shocker of a call, if hes on what a 18/19 year old prospect earns then i guess its an option
Still for me you have a player who's steady at best playing into a year when even the great players have struggled like DaveO said if lockers cant make an impact at that age being one of the best to do it then it doesnt bode well for ISA. Roby is great example of how time catches quick and he again one of the very very best this year hes been a shadow
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

Of course Willie is on a first team salary, why would he not be? However, we have seen a glimpse of lthe future tonight. Junior was my man of the match, irrespective of Abbas’s try haul. We still need to adopt a ruthless mentality.
I don't think Roby has bad this season from what I've seen. He is a great player, one of England's best. Didn't looked too bad tonight, from what I saw.

Because he’s not a first team player if everyone’s fit he doesn’t get in the team
