I was told categorically he was leaving to return home to family. :roll: Wigan have somehow convinced him to stay.

French staying probably means Zak to centre next year with either Bibby/Thornley his partner.

Bibby could also be penned in for the wing, but I cant see this when Marshall is fit & the lad from London coming in.

Hopefully the retention of French is a sign of more positive things to come out the club.

Gut feeling I don’t think he will get a gig in the NRL as fine a player as he is the monsters that roam over there he’s a little on the slight side.

I trust as well he will be back for a full pre season I understand family issues make life hard but to me I can’t help but wonder if he’s had a full pre season he would be still out on the park terrorising defences this season but my crystal ball is in for its MOT at the moment

There wont be an issue with him coming back, the club have been great with him in his words and he wants to repay that, I know he still has a tough time accepting the GF defeat, this injury will be making it worse. Hopefully when he does come back he is the Bevan we first got. absolutely electric.

French staying puts us in a much better position for next year.

I've an awful feeling we'll play him in the halves to be honest

Really pleased that Bevan will be with us next season but I think his choices in the NRL would have been severely reduced by his injury. Let's hope his injury isn't so bad that he'll miss the start of pre-season and start behind with his fitness like he did this year. Perhaps we should arrange for him to go home earlier and come back for a full preseason.

Just seen that report Dan, good news all round and nice to see Bevan stating that the club has looked after him and he wants to repay their support.

Yeah he's a decent lad, I've no doubt he will repay us. Field and French both on the pitch at the same time with their pace will trouble defences. especially if we have pacey wingers as well. Field and French are probably the 2 fastest players in the league
