There's a wall chart at Robin Park that puts him around the 6 foot mark so I'm sure it's about right.

Is this a real 6'1 or a Tinder 6'1?

Josh Schuster situation is interesting from our point of view.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Had Isa not picked up his injury wouldn’t think about it, and hopefully it isn’t the case he is out for the season.

If he is though I believe there is the option to deregister him.

This would open up cap and quota space.

It appears there is no interest in the NRL and he is about to become a free agent with $200k pay off.

Like I said hopefully Isa gets back playing but if he doesn’t he could be an option on a short term deal for the rest of 2024.

I see a lot of similarities around his situation and when Lautiti became available and similar freakish skill set if he can get his head right.

Is confirmed Jon that Isa is out for the rest of the season?
I hope that he isn’t but if he is then Schuster would be a very interesting option if he wants to come to SL.
Isa will be sorely missed as his defensive qualities and his all round fitness levels are perhaps only second to Liam Farrell.

No nothing confirmed and obviously the ideal world solution is that Isa returns before the end of the season I’m just thinking out loud.

As a pure guess I would imagine he would want a decent wage, do we have that space under the cap?even if we can write Isas wage off?

He’s walking away with $200k pay off and no interest from other NRL clubs.

Wages are usually dictated by demand so I don’t think realistically he can expect a big wage for the 2024 season.

Josh Schuster doesn’t have the qualities of a Wigan player in terms of toughness and attitude IMO.

Whilst I don’t necessarily disagree they are the 2 areas of concern he’s an absolute gun of a player when he’s on.

Almost a no risk signing for the rest of this season if the worst news comes through and Isa is gone for the year.

I hasten to add this is all pure speculation and thinking out loud on my part nothing in it with any substance at all regards Isa’s injury or us making a move for a replacement.

Sam Eseh two weeks loan to Cas

Good move. Keep him there as long as we can, he needs SL minutes.

i'd posted on warriors fans that its a good move as we have no reserve game for 2 weeks either, so he'd be sat waiting to get some game time. Ideally i'd give him 4 weeks get some good game time and then see how he's going and if he's ready to challenge for a 1st team spot when fit and firing. Given Cas are down on numbers, i dont see any reason why he shouldnt get some good 1st team minutes

Jackson Hastings in yet another behind the scenes bust up - this time with Will Pryce. Hastings has always come across as a very calculating self-publicist but the public persona doesn't seem to match up with what goes on when a camera isn't present. Pryce comes across as quite a brash individual as well so maybe a recipe for disaster (as it turned out with Bateman).

Just reiterates how lucky we are to have the personalities we have at Wigan - all seem very humble and level-headed.

Dreadful bloke, seems to have a lot of fans fooled like you say with his public persona.

He should just go back to the Salford where they’ll worship him.
