Really, he was quite vocal about playing the middle when he signed on with you guys.

He was signed as a secondrow who can fill in at prop, not the other way round both he and the club mentioned it when he was recruited.

According to the list of players circulated to clubs who have not been offered deals by their respective clubs Isa and Cooper have not been offered new contracts with us.

To be honest I think that is the correct decision. We have got to create a pathway for our young guns. Have said that, I would like to see both of them have some involvement next season, perhaps stepping in for Lockers and Tommy whilst they are in Australia.

As much as I like both and I think Isa is a bit of a cult legend, I think it’s the best decision, we have a great crop of forwards waiting in the wings.

Yep, Hill and Nsemba will be promoted into their roles.
