Quote ="FearTheVee"Isa is often a total liability against Saints - you may see that as "getting under our skin", I just see it as an average player struggling to keep up and becoming frustrated.
I genuinely wish he was playing.
Shame about the big name absences on both sides, but I suspect Field missing is bigger for Wigan than Walmsley for us.'"
i think if Lam was still coach i'd agree with you as he became a liability, and just seemed to lose the plot. i think that was a combination of his competiveness, and lack of it from a team perspective, and he thus he just seemed be very frustrated and lose it. From a team perspective this year, he shored up our right side of defence which looked a little flaky with French, King and KPP on that side early doors. He's one of those players who is never going to set the world on fire, but is an excellent squad player as he has / can cover a couple of positions, he's always available (from an injury perspective) and thus, despite not being 1st choice, seems to get a lot of regular starts.
agree re Field and Walmsley, in an ideal world both teams are at full strength, but we may miss Field more than you miss Walmsley. Ryan Brierley was on commentary last week when we played Leigh and said he was a nightmare to play defensively and Salford were happier when he passed as that wasnt his strongest asset, but gave them nightmares when he ran at them
