We're in talks at the minute about erecting a statue of him in his honor to celebrate his career at Cas.

IMO he has been unlucky and we seem to be a more robust outfit with him on the pitch so I would say he is well worth a punt for another year.

Disagree Speedy, give him a chance, he's been very unlucky with his injury and it was lot more serious than was first thought, I think from what I've seen of him on the field, he's worth keeping.

I like the agression he shows on the pitch, however he does need to control it sometimes and be careful that he doesn't give needless penalties away

Ok lets look the amount of game time he has actually done for us (nicked from Stu's site),

Willie Isa
Age 22
Debut 20/3/2011
Contract Exp 2011
Played 5
Won 4
Tries3
Goals 0
Drop Goals 0
Points 12

Not 100% sure but werent some of these games in the U20's aswell ?

Not setting the world alight is he, why should we keep paying out for him, pay as you play yes, anything else no,

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!

SL website lists that he's only played 4 first team games (obviously not including CC I've just remembered) so no U20 games included. If we add in the fact that he missed the first 2/3 games through playing U20's, that means he's had the chance to play in 1/3rd of the season roughly.

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 icon_confused.gif the games he has played, he's been the best centre on the pitch.
