Let Harry Smith organise and French at standoff would be a good combination to go forward with to bridge a gap when he is fit

Is nobody else hearing the fact that we may be after another winger?
I've been told (admittedly with a pinch of salt) that we were looking at Adam Swift from Hull..
Played as a 6/7 when he was younger and then moved out to the wing, has also played at fullback for hull this season and looked very assured?

Will French be here next year?
I was thinking about Smith and Field, it’s unfortunate he got injured game 1 but doesn’t he see himself as a stand off.
If we get Williams great but if not let’s try Smith and Field and strengthen the squad in the prop department.

So, to sum up:
George is deffo coming to Wigan, though Wire are still trying....
...Oops! No, he signed for Wire but Wigan are still trying...or maybe pretending to try to pacify fans....
Anyway he was never any good, or he's only good behind a world-class pack made up of Bateman (who used to be good but isn't), Sutty who was a solid youngster but became good when he was playing in a world-class pack....oh, and Hodgson who we wouldn't have cos he's not as good as Roby or Clarke.
Also he's the wrong type of 7 for us, cos he only plays well with split halves and a 6 who can kick long.
Have I missed anything?

It wouldn’t. French is categorically not a stand off.

Field sees himself as a stand off if the tactics are to use him as a second receiver so he has space outwide.
My interpretation of that is he doesn’t see himself as a first receiver / traditional 7.
So field in the halves would be dependent on us playing traditional 6 and 7 and not split halves.

Paves the way for Williams (if it happens)
Also a indication that Williams has not physically signed for anyone yet
