I think it’s more people questioning him being a prop and maybe he’s better suited as a back rower due to his lack of size? Seems to have a great attitude and and a likeable bloke and in a salary capped sport you can’t have a squad full of stars so I’m happy to see where he goes but I feel he’s way too small to be a prop forward, although happy to be proven wrong.
I’m sure we had conversations about where Isa would play too, centre, second row or in most cases, including mine, nowhere near the first team. Glad Willie proved me wrong and to be honest he’s become one of my favorite Wigan players.
I am aware now that clubs tend to look at certain elements as being very important when looking to sign players often valued more than their current ability.
Character, athletic potential, attitude, coachability etc are placed high up as priorities particularly with project type signings. The view is that good coaches should be able to over time bring out the end result player.
I’m thinking he scores very highly in these supporting attributes which is why we moved for him and we are backing our system to produce a top quality utility forward covering all positions in the pack with the exception of 9.
