Wigan Warriors • This Is Outstanding...

Fully agree. I think both should be getting minutes a little wider when possible and somebody more experienced like Isa should be doing the graft in the middle. I don’t think we’ve used Isa centrally enough (pretty much at all the last couple of seasons) in his time here. He rebuilt his career at Widnes playing at loose forward and whilst he’s not the biggest, he is as tough as teak. I’d also use Fridays option of Partington in front of the two younger lads as a starter.

Smithies played a bit of both from memory. More loose forward but plenty of second row as well. It’s been a tough learning curve to only play at loose forward in the first team. He’s done a great job in the main in fairness to him but I’d have a look at him in the second row as well now and again.
