After seeing him yesterday I think we would regret letting him go, he looked very strong and made a big impact from the bench.

Signed for Widnes (via text to members)

Vikings announce the signing of Castleford Tigers centre Willie Isa on a two-year deal. The 22 year old becomes the clubs 9th new signing for Super League.

Ridiculous.

Mess up with the new coach and now let someone as good as Isa go, the club are a joke at the minute.

I think you will find Leigh took their pound of flesh breaking an agreed ambargo 'by mistake'.

As for Isa, he may be a potentially good player but if you consider his contribution over the season I am not sure it has been that significant to warrant a deal if I am honest. Maybe he will stay fit and get 10 tries in 20 appearances for Widnes next season, or he may play a handful of games with injuries.... that's the gamble.

Not too worried, you can't miss what you have never had.

Re: Willie Isa : Fri Sep 02, 2011 6:58 pm  

Im not too sorry to see him go to be honest.

Sure he has potential but has had an injury plagued season and he just could be one of those players who spends most of his time on the treatment table.

He has scored a few tries when he has played but nearly all were served on a plate by Rangi, and when he did pass the ball to his winger the timing of his passes were at times very poor.

If (and it is a big if with our board) we have a capable replacement lined up Isa will not be missed.

I HAVE GOT TO AGREE AGAINST LEEDS IF HE HAD PASSED THE BALL TO THE WINGER WE COULD HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF TRIES. HOWEVER HE WAS GOOD AT GETTING TACKLED AND FALLING DOWN ON THE GRASS LMAO.

Why the sarcasm?.

I just pointed out an observation in Isa's play. He has potential but who knows he may not kick on...a bit like Ryan Boyle when he left.

However i would be unhappy if Greg Eden left.

Does this just leave Martin Aspinwall as our only player without a contract for next year?
