| It is typical of recruitment so I'm not sure why people are surprised. It may work out, it may not. It is a fairly underwhelming signing but who knows he may go well.
My main issue with these project type signings (although could he be classed as a project given he is 26 been at 2 of the best clubs in the World at developing players and still ended up at Cas and Widnes) is they are always the same type of player.
Why not look for a project centre, or a project Prop. Why do we constantly seem to go for the project utility player.
Isa wont play in the backs. My guess is he is a direct replacement for Patrick. I actually think Wane has shown his hand with Bateman and I think he may well be asked to concentrate on developing as a centre.
I understand then need for a strong squad but often utility players are utility players as they lack anything specifically that would make them stand out in one position.
On the plus side he has been compared to Israel Folau all be it in 2009 so lets just hope the last 6 years have been the gestation period for that to happen.

closer to his home swayed it i think, travelling was becoming a problem for him

| I think this signing could have been a misunderstanding. Do you think Lenegan was actually advising Rads and Wane to invest in an ISA?

10172_1376829585.jpg Dan Sarginson: "This is a fantastic opportunity for me to join the biggest name in the competition" 18/10/2013
Tony Clubb: "This is a new exciting chapter of my life signing for Wigan and I couldn't be happier" 18/10/2013
Romain Navarrete: “I’m very happy to have signed for Wigan Warriors. As soon I knew that Wigan were interested, they were the only team that I wanted to sign for. To me, Wigan is the biggest Club in Rugby League and it will be an honour to pull on the famous Cherry-and-White jersey next year. I look forward to working with Shaun Wane and the players at Wigan.”:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10172.jpg |

He did a good job at Stains. But he'll be ruined by Yawnion, and will take at least a year to get his RL fitness back. Joel Tomkins still hasn't recovered.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |

| Good signing. Versatile, hits hard. Good option coming off the bench. No complaints.
