Please don't shoot the messenger but someone on the other board is claiming to have spoken to French and he could be out for the season.

lower hamstring tear i believe

Wouldn't surprise me if that's the last time we see him. Very unfortunate way to go out if so.

Although if he hasn't yet got an NRL deal for next year it could delay things.

Next to impossible to win the title without Bevan sadly. Terrible luck with our top recruits over the last couple of years.

Must be a lot more than a torn hamstring if its a season ender.

I actually thought the opposite. We've now got more chance of seeing him here next year.

I posted a few weeks ago about how hard French would find getting as gig as a FB in the NRL. This injury will have only made things even harder for him.

He's got the option (in his favour) of a 2nd year with us. I think he'll take that security and build his worth up with us.

It'll all depend on his families circumstances back home. Some things are more important than rugby league.

Without a shadow of a doubt, but everyone has to get paid too.

I don't envy him. Not only because of his situation, but also this injury has come at possibly the worst time for him.

Hope he can sort everything out.

Whoever made the call for him to stay on after getting treatment when Livett scored clearly messed up. It may well have been French himself but he got nowhere near Livett, which seemed strange and then he was getting treatment lied on the floor behind the posts and never looked right.

A hammer blow for the season if that’s true. We’re pretty much a side that totally relies on flashes of individual brilliance and he’s the best at that.

I thought he went off straight away?
