Wigan's 19-year-old second row Junior Nsemba on learning from Willie Isa and why he picked rugby league over football.
As a young rugby league player growing up a well-placed drop kick away from the DW Stadium, Junior Nsemba would study what Willie Isa was doing. Now he gets to learn from the Wigan Warriors second row first-hand as one of the Betfred Super League champions’ emerging talents.
'I feel like when I was younger, I was always wanting to do something, wanting to move about and play a game,' Nsemba said. 'Even if I wasn't good at it, I just liked to be active. 'I feel like I get that from both my mum and dad, but when I was in rugby the culture made me love the sport a bit more. 'As well as the boys, it was the way they were wholesome, and family orientated. It was nice to be in a sport where I knew I could bring my family.
