Livett scored on the 9th minute and French got injured on 29th.

French just didn't bother chasing back on Livett's interception.

He was lied on the floor behind the posts getting treatment on his hamstring after the Livett try, so he clearly felt something. How long he managed after that is pretty irrelevant. I can’t see him as the sort who just wouldn’t bother chasing back, so I guess he had picked something up around that point.

You have to seriously question our conditioning. Thats both speedsters out with torn hamstrings after no time at all.

They appear to be too highly over conditioned leaving them weak for rugby league.

Hamstrings have been common rugby league injuries for as long as I've watched the game, especially in the backs. Just one of those things.

I’d say they’ve been under conditioned if anything. Neither had a full pre season, with Field being rushed back for the first game as we were short of backs.

Keeping my fingers crossed the news on French is better than being rumoured.

Bevan is a terrific player, but i agree that his chances of getting a first-grade gig at full-back in the NRL seem unlikely, they have a great roster over there. So of course I hope he stays. And that the injury isn't as serious as feared.

Marshall, Manfredi (I know he's back), Field, Gildart and now French. Talk about bad luck, poor conditioning, whatever, as a fan (no doubt as one of said players) it's just plain to deal with.

What exactly does that mean?

With what evidence are the players "too highly over conditioned"?

What does that even mean?

I think he means they condition their hair too much. Can make your hair go very dry.

At the end of this season he can take the option to leave or stay for another year. It's up to French not Wigan.

Lam just confirmed at the press conference that French's injury is possibly worse than first thought. Potentially out three months+

But fingers crossed thats not the case. Awaiting to see a surgeon.
