Isaac’s father, Jermaine, is of course a rugby league hero, having played all of his Super League career with Huddersfield before ending his time in the sport with a solitary season in the Championship with Wakefield Trinity.
In his domestic career, Jermaine scored 249 tries in 362 appearances, with 312 of those appearances coming in a Huddersfield shirt.
