I’d be telling Isa to rip in for 25 minutes. Maximum effort and involvement/high work rate.



Bring him off for KPP to add some impact once the initial sting has gone out of the game.



Would look to then bring him back on for the last 10/15 to tighten things up as we hopefully close out the game.

Makes sense.

Agree with your 17 however, I think that Singleton and Isa will start in place of Cooper and KPP.

A change of approach maybe looking at the team selected, with Cooper and Havard starting and they are probably are best go forward options in the middle. KPP at second row, Brad O’Neill bench and Isa 18th man. Glad Peet seems to have learned from having no options other than props in the play off semi.

Singo is underrated. I’d happily swap any of our props at Leeds (bar Oledzki) for him. He plays well in big games…..

Some silky stuff here lads. Loving every minute

Absolutely gutted that Liam Byrne has had a haircut.

We look very small in contact and getting yardage is still difficult. We’ll have no problem when we get in the opposition 20m but we have to get there.

Weird half really. Played some top stuff at times, been so sloppy at others and goal kicking has let us down. The atmosphere is adding to the game and we’ve not helped ourselves at points. I see enough to know it won’t be boring again this season.

Not impressed by that first 40, hopefully just early season rusty-ness

We look threatening - sloppy errors, poor Toby King defence and no goal kicks have let us down.

Tony King can't defend. Been saying it since before we signed him. We targeted him at Wire last year and now teams are doing the same Vs us - Wigan's gift to the the rest of SL.



Outside of that, there's positives and we've left points on the table. Not the end of the world, but we need to be better in this half.



As a side note, having three quota lads not playing highlights how wrong we've got it on that front.
