How much is Isa on????

More than Morgan Smithies and less than George Williams

Every club needs a player like Isa, he'll never set the world on fire but he does a good job as a filler. Surround him with quality players and he shines. That's the problem though, we've flogged all our quality and the lesser talented players are being shown up. We are a squad of fillers.

How many of this team do you turn up genuinely excited to watch? The likes of Tomkins, Bateman, McIlorum, Richards, Carmont, Finch, etc.

Even when we play well he doesn't really shine though. He does a job. Most of the time he's average, every 4 months or so he might have a good game.

The problem with Isa is he's got not size as a middle (or as a back row to be honest), and it's size that we could really do with so he blends in with the rest, he's got no skill for a back row forward, yet that's where he ends up playing most games, and he's a truly terrible centre. For a utility player he isn't actually that versatile if you actually want quality.

Gildart, Williams, maybe Burgess, Hardaker in time.

Take it you dont know then??? Would you say having willie in the squad on 50k a year would be a good deal???

Re: Plea to Lam : Tue Apr 23, 2019 8:40 pm  

Isa, O’Loughlin, Tautai, Clubb need moving on at the end of the year, bring in 2 big barnstorming props and use O’Loughlin wage to fund the marquee stand off if we haven’t got 150k available

Not sure how I’m supposed to know. To answer your question, no it’s not a good deal and is £50k wasted. I would rather it be distributed against say, Smithies, Partington etc

So an expensive waste of money despite not knowing what he's on, interesting.

Another 80 from isa on Monday
Whatever he's getting were getting more value out of him than other players.

Re: Plea to Lam : Tue Apr 23, 2019 10:09 pm  

Isa does what Isa does..its only when hes not there it seems to me hes missed, yes its average but that's all he has to be, nothing more than that'll teams need players such as him.

Whatever he gets paid it’s too much, so yes an expensive waste of money, you appear to be the all seeing eye maybe you can tell us what he earns?
Playing for 80 mins is all good and well but what did he contribute in those 80 mins?
