I still wouldn’t be sure it totally rules it out. I think they want Isa to bring leadership and experience and that’s understandable. A lot will depend on where they see Walters playing. If it’s in the middle, they might want one more option in the back row and if it’s in the back row, I think they might still want another prop. It certainly doesn’t feel like money (other than cap space) will be an issue and it may now be as simple as Mago stays or somebody else comes in.

Funnily enough, I was thinking the exact same with the LMS comparison. At no point have I ever really rated him, but trying to be more fair minded I've eventually come to the realisation that he's played a valuable supporting role in a pack filled with more talented players. Exactly the same with Isa in his time here.

And LMS might be a better pantomime villain, but I think Isa's the one you want when it comes to actual acts on villainy on the pitch!

Isa should've been released years ago. Wouldn't get a game at Pats. I'm sure he's a great bloke. So's my Grandad. But he's sh-ite at playing rugby and never got near pulling on a Wigan shirt

I'm sure he (Isa) is absolutely devastated to find out what some no mark who hasnt got a clue thinks of him

His GF (multiple) and World club challenge medals and the respect of the hundreds and hundreds of players and coaches he's worked with over a 15plus 1st team career counts for nothing

I Think you're drunk.

I wouldn't have Farrell or Edwards for a gold pig, ever.

Oooooh you are a proper little cheeky monkey aren’t you?
