We will have to disagree on this one.
Isa is a decent utility player and I suspect a good clubman but in no way would I put him in the great category.
I can understand that he is highly respected by his team mates but it doesn’t make him a great player albeit he may be a great guy.
A bit of a throwback I would put Mick Cassidy as a very good SR. For me he is far superior to Isa in every aspect.
I’m not anti Isa but I recognise his limitations and he has several.

As I stated before I wasn’t being argumentative for argument’s sake but simply sticking to my opinions that I feel are verified with very few centres who can actually play well in the SR. Obviously you disagree. No problem. Life would be boring without differing opinions.
Enjoy the match tonight.

I’ll give it to the lads it’s been our best start so far. Bar the try we’ve had good intensity

Will agree to disagree, although I will say Isa was outstanding again tonight….as was King.

Very much enjoyed it hope you did too.

All the best.

Very very happy with that performance.
Hopefully the injury to Field isn’t too serious.

He’s gone for a few weeks according to Peet.

I suspected as much.
Will be interesting who we put at 6 over the next few weeks.

I don’t think they will know for sure the severity of the injury until they get it scanned, could be weeks could be months, Peet just confirmed he won’t play next Friday no matter how positive the scan results are which I would have to agree with, hamstring injuries are not ones to risk.
The positive signs are that it didn’t massively stop him in his tracks, he didn’t look in huge pain and he walked off the pitch without assistance. Fingers crossed.

Hope to god it isn't a repeat of 2021. The downside of being sl reliant on two players is things look very precarious when one of them go down.

Chris Brooks has said stretch not tear.

We potentially missing fields and Wardle next week. Not sure if thornleys fit enough for the full 80 so do we ship Isa to Centre and bring Shorrocks on to back row. Start Powell at 6 and put Oniel at 9.

Cust if he can play but sounds like he’ll need surgery/extended rest.

Astley if he’s ready if not Powell, with O’Neill doing big minutes.

Well let's wait for the scan - hopefully we get lucky and it's a 4-6 week job. Shame Hampshire isn't ready yet - as it is looks like a combo of Powell and Smith....

If Wardle gets a ban surely we all give up?

If they are consistent I expect a £250 fine.

it was no worse than the tackle on french at the end but no sin bin
