Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Honestly couldn't tell you the last time I saw Zak break the line from attack. I highly rate Zak in defence, and in attack in the right structure with the right players, sadly our second phase play out the back isn't there.
This is the perfect game to give French a go. If we lose we're not out of the comp, plus I feel we need to throw something different at Saints to win, French linking up out wide on a second phase could be exactly what we need.
I don't believe anyone who's watched French can say he's looked the part as a 6 currently for us this season. He's looked ineffective and lost in the role...wasted.'"
Zak has been our most consistent player all year. Smithies has run him close but I’d be stunned if ZH isn’t our player of the year when the awards are dished out.
French is still getting used to being at Wigan and I’ll not be judging him until he’s had a Pre-season in whatever position Lam chooses for him. As for tomorrow being perfect, I disagree. I want us to win tomorrow and don’t buy into the nothing to lose idea. A win tomorrow will be a perfect confidence boost going into a GF. Lose tomorrow and Saints will feel unstoppable at Old Trafford.
