All about minutes I suppose. He started against Cas and was pretty good but he then got hardly any game time last week, made only 2 carries and a couple of errors. If Lam doesn’t have a game plan to fit him in the more then 10-15 mins a game it feels a bit of a waste of a bench spot. He’ll play Isa and Farrell for 80 minutes and Lockers and Smithies are sharing the loose forward shirt. Smithies can cover that second row in case if injury also.

Haha! No worries mate. It was a bad performance all round by us. Not just French’s positioning.

One to forget!

And quickly! A lot to do in the pre season.

Phuzzy gets it.

With Hastings with French playing off him we might well see a different attacking formation which allows us to having a running 6 in comparison to a left and right pivot.

But if we’re going to split the halves I’ll always see French as the best option for FB.

I highly rate Zak, it’s more a commentary on how we’re playing and the system rather than a criticism of Zak as a FB.

French looks an out an out winger to me. I don't think he's played any senior RL games as a half back. Zak has proven me wrong. Not only has he had a good season, he's one of the few who never lets his head drop when things are going bad. He's my player of the season which is not something I expected to be posting.

I don't see the point in moving Zak on the off chance French might do better as a full back.

Did you ever see French play FB at Parra?
