The 35-year-old has been with Wigan since 2016 and has now made over 200 career appearances for the club. In that time he has won three Super League rings, a Challenge Cup, two World Club Challenges and two league leaders’ shields.

It’s been a career for the second half and whatever happens at the end of the season, Isa will probably be one of the club’s most reliable overseas players ever.
Isa can still do it at the highest level, his recent performances for Wigan underline that, and it looks like he will be given time to make up his own mind at the end of the campaign.

Cooper will turn 36 by the end of this season, and it’s fair to say he’s heading toward the end of what has been a fine career. He is out of contract at the end of the season and it remains to be seen if the club believe he can go again.
The former Warrington man has been with Wigan since July 2022 and penned an extension with the club until the end of 2024 at the end of last season. Like Isa, given his age and status, much may depend on how Cooper feels as the campaign draws to a close.

Hampshire has been a bit of a fixture since his arrival at the club in 2023, making just five appearances this season. He did, however, score three tries, including a brace against Castleford Tigers in April.
The 29-year-old gives Wigan versatility and depth when needed, but it remains to be seen whether the Warriors will have space for him in their squad going into next season.
