French & Hastings need to come back yet, before we can bother debating if they’re leaving again! March on Monday and no sign of them? Won’t they have to self isolate when back too?

As long as they fly back avoiding the UAE the wont need quarantine as Australia isn't on the red list, they will need to isolate but can train and attend the club as needed, they will then fall under the clubs Covid program of testing etc

In my view Smith should be the starting 7 for most if not all games. OK if Lam wants TL to start in games v Wire, Saints & Leeds then ok, as for the rest Harry Smith should start. TL should be the bench player not Smith.
We already have Hastings and Lam has brought Field in.
The season starts with us having one wingman, Manfredi, and not doubt he'll start on the right side.
Field should start on the wing in the absence of Marshall. OK he's not played there before but playing there at training will give him some idea what's he will be up against. There is also the option to move him to the middle for the last 20/25 mins when the opposition pack and halves are tiring. Doing that at the back end of a game could prove devastating with Field's pace.
This is the overall problem we now have with no centre or wingman cover but a surplus of halves and forwards.

In your scenario of starting Field on the wing and moving him to the middle for the last 20/25 minutes:
- What positions would we have on the bench?
- Who would move to the wing? Who would Field replace in the middle?

Someone needs to create a Hastings off season bingo card. My suggestions:

- "Never seemed settled"
- "Could shut it down with one tweet"
- "Don't want him back now, the club should tell him he's finished"
- Jumping to conclusions based on cryptic tweets
- "We need an announcement"
- "This announcement saying he's returning makes me think he's not returning"
- Twitter/Instagram bio change
- Stalking his girlfriend/mum
- Car/house sales news

Wants to go back to Salford

The lad is different and will do is own thing. As far as I am concerned Jacko is welcome at Wigan in 2021 even if it is his last season. The lad is a class act and who is to say that he may not agree to extend his current deal.

Only Central Perk. He loves coffee, probably doesn’t even have a Wigan RL coffee mug
