I wouldn't bother reading this bit, there is nothing interesting, witty or insightful down here, just this collection of boring words explaining that you really are wasting your time browsing this signature in the vain and futile hope that there will be a nugget, nay, a veritable goldmine of witticisms or divine philosophy. In reality, all you're going to get is disappointment, a sense of hopelessness and a random word.

Kumquat.

Re: Willie Isa : Tue Jul 19, 2011 8:42 pm  
So, of the 5 games he has started, we have won 4 of them, scored 3 tries and on this basis is not worthy of renewing his contract? Granted, he has been unlucky with injury but that record shows that when he does start, we are a stronger team and he knows where the try line is, given a prolonged injury-free spell, who knows what he is capable of.

Dare I suggest we might have unearthed another gem akin to Rangi? A robust centre who knows how to finish and has a bit of 'grunt' about him.

Mmm you could say that that was due to Huby and Walker playing as well, We cant afford to carry players. When is he going to play again ? next season ? I could be proved wrong, but if it was me, the money would be spent elsewhere,

I must be watching a different player!!! The guy I thought was Isa is the one that runs around like a headless chicken not knowing where he should be positioned or what he should be doing. As I put earlier, 'bags of energy' but very little skill, technique or game awareness.

The attribute that he shares with Rangi, is that he does fly into tackles, and the big ones he makes are big! However, many seem to overlook those they miss! Rangi for example is the 7th worst in the whole of SL for missed tackles this year with 54.

I think you've been watching a different player :? the games he has played, he's been the best centre on the pitch.

I'd let him go aswell!

IMO, from what I've seen of him he shows bags of energy but that is about all!!!

Unfortunately when it comes to skill, technique, positional awareness and understanding of the game he is sadly lacking! Nobody likes to see a busy fool on the pitch, and if the energy doesn't lead to a great tackle or clean break etc.....then it can becomes more of a liability than an asset!

Nothing against the guy, but I think we can do better!


I often wonder if you watch the same team as me :?:

I watch the Cas Tigers who play on Wheldon Road and wear black and Amber. Which one do you watch :?:

That's exactly what I was thinking. I would be willing to give him another year providing he can stay relatively injury free

Is this for real?? What would you sit down with Isa and say 'come on now Willie...tell me the truth...are you going to stay injury free next year?, because if you are then we'll give you a new contract...but if your not then we're not going to extend your contract.....C'mon Willie tell the truth now, injured or not injured next year...what's it gonna be :ASK: ???' LOL

All I can say is that some are easier to please than others. I do go to 'almost' every game. Admittedly being 8,000 miles away stopped me going to the Crusaders game, but I'll be there on Sunday....I'm easy to spot, I'm the one without the Cas rose tinted glasses.

Nobody is denying that he hasn't played enough matches and on this season evidence he would appear to be injury prone.

However when he has played he has looked a good player with a lot of potential as a young guy - and we have undoubtedly looked a much better side with him playing out wide - can't see where u get headless chicken etc from.

Not a case of rose tinted glasses just giving credit where its due realy.
