SIXTEEN years after his "weird" solitary Penrith appearance, Willie Isa plans to down his former club and make Wigan world champions again.
Tough nut Isa, 35, has made the north of England his home after playing more than 200 games for Warriors. But the Auckland-born secondrow grew up in Sydney after moving there when just a year old.
