I will be devastated if French leaves Wigan.
My all time favourite player is Billy Boston. I’d put the excitement French brings on a par with Billy Boston.
Luckily I watched Boston for over ten years.

Not sure what you mean mate?

Well The Mole has tweeted about fifteen minutes ago and attached a new article which suggests a potential twist in the French saga. https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/the-mole-n ... e1df6211d1 There's been plenty of talk linking former Eels tryscoring sensation Bevan French to Newcastle next season, but Wigan won't let the speedy utility go without a fight. French wants to return to Australia after four years in England where he has proved himself a fan favourite. Last month, he set a new Super League record by scoring seven tries during a 60-0 win over Hull FC. Wigan will throw more money at French than the Knights are prepared to pay, leaving him with the old dilemma - money or happiness.

Just saw this myself. Maybe it's not as cut and dried as we thought?

Seems happy enough to me, so why not just have both?!

In reality he might be struggling away from the field for all we know but fingers crossed he is happy and we can tempt him. I’d love to think family coming over recently was a pointer to the club telling him that we’ll help sort things like that out if you stay and not a sign that they wanted to see him play here before he goes back.

What will be, will be though. He owes us nothing.

Genuine question. I know who I think has been the better value for money in 2022.
