I agree with you on both points there, funnily enough at the Hull game I was saying to the people I sit next to that when comparing Zak and Bevan at FB (on Wigan form only), I think Zak offers more in defence. Hopefully he stays long term and I think Zak has shown a great attitude playing centre!Wigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 3:42 pmLyon was a slightly different class and thats not to demote French thats to say Lyon was world class.CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 1:50 pmI'm hoping your correct, what's concerning about French though is that some imports have come over and have been average and developed over time and some have come over to simply wind down!

Not necessarily, there have been imports here who suit the English game better and i think French is one of them
I think the only thing that would put NRL teams off French is the NRL teams are much more concerned with defence than attack - Thats not to say French is poor defensively but its just saying that he would need more of that in his game to be in the NRL his attack would match most NRL players

he walked away from the game and Millward talked him into coming back, dont think it was injury that caused it.Firestarter wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 3:52 pmthe only reason Lyon came over here was because he got a potentially career ending injury......He was an International before his injury and played for Parramatta( i think)....... The aussies rated him highly(unlike they do with French)...... that's why they had him back at the drop of a hat....... French could easily have been picked up when he was on fire for Parra and they put him in a feeder club......... There loss imo...... hes pure class...... Just watch his NRL games/highlights, anyone unsureWigan_forever1985 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 3:42 pmLyon was a slightly different class and thats not to demote French thats to say Lyon was world class.CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 1:50 pm
