Watching the game in the pub, I remarked to a guy there, Isa is playing well, and the guy said, I don't see what he brings to the side. I think a few think the same. He may not get mentioned very often on TV commentary, but if you watch him, he does so much good work.

Yep, he just doesn't have the pace to play against a fast centre. I do wonder if we will bulk him up and turn him into a prop with the raft of second rowers we have.

I personally would give Isa a run at left centre now, even when Gelling returns. He's a safer option than Forsyth for me.

I disagree. Forsyth has really grown into the side since he switched from wing to his natural position in the centre. He was outstanding against Hull and completely nullified any threat down his side of the pitch. He did the same against Leeds and I trust him to do a job. His pace against cas will be needed because cas really throw the ball around. I'd go with Gelling and Forsyth if both are fit.

Watkins showed exactly why that can't be anything more then an absolute emergency option. He skinned him with ease for his try and that's clearly not his fault. We need him in the middle and badly IMO because he plays with an intensity some of the other forwards are currently missing.



He is playing like a man determined to prove a point after being left out of the WCC in comparison to some of the ones who did, who look like they're on a come down.
