Quote: NSW "Very encouraging, switched seemed to get flicked in the second half.
French’s weight is always annoying to me, obviously amazing player and man of steel but I always thing how good he’d be if he got in peak physical fitness.
I expected Keighran to cop a ban for the tip tackle (especially as he did the same thing in the grand final). Hopefully he can play against Penrith.
Hopefully Walters is okay. He shot out at one of their big new props, hopefully just a stinger.
Hookers were excellent for Wigan as was Dupree, Farrell, Hill and Mago.'"
French did look a bit podgy but he never looks great physically, won’t be winning any bodybuilding comps that’s for sure but I would think that’s a lot down to his genetics rather than lifestyle. One of the fittest blokes I knew in the army was overweight and had very little muscle, he just had unfortunate genetics but when it came to performance the guy was a machine.
