| Interesting signing a SR/Centre when we've just released Jack Hughes (who is a SR/centre himself).
Even though he's recently been moved into the back row I think Wigan will use him as a centre, or simply utility cover in both centres and forwards when needs must (something Jack could have done). This wouldn't be uncommon both Phil Bailey and Gene Miles were playing the back row then moved into the centres when at Wigan.
Saying this I also wouldn't be surprised if Isa was one of our starting centres come next season, the 'Sarg to union' rumour is still doing the rounds, and it seems that Gelling is on the naughty step after recent blunders. Gildart has impressed but is still very young and somewhat underweight for a centre (undoubtedly overtime he'll fill out) and Bateman is better in the pack, which leaves a void in the centre spot.
Isa has an opportunity if he impresses to be a first team player at Wigan, that alone should inspire him to playing well. I look forward to him at Wigan next season.

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?

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.
