The French performance was ridiculous.

Attack defence and link.

Furious when Burgess dropped the chip kick. What a try that would have been.

I remember the insane purple patch Amos Roberts had for 10 weeks pre the injury that pretty much finished him off colliding with the post.

French tonight was on that level.

They are saying Gutho to centre given Jennings is going to be banned.

Interesting to see them linked with Roberts in the last few days though.

That will maybe work in our favour, yes I’m clutching at straws!

If they do sign Roberts though I don’t think they will also sign French.

It was encouraging to hear Lammy say we’re not giving up on keeping him. It sounded like we still think there’s a chance and I really hope there is. He is sublime and as Wigan fans we’ve not had enough opportunities to watch him in the flesh. I know it’s ridiculous but I can’t help wonder if we could come to some sort of arrangement that allows him to have a few weeks at home mid season. That feels ridiculous typing it but if there are ways if facilitating him staying, we’d be daft not to look at them.

For me the signing of Field in reality confirms he is gone, despite my comment above about the Parramatta move.

Field won’t be on peanuts given Leeds were in for him too and I just don’t see him coming here as a 6.

I hope I’m wrong.

Has that been confirmed?

Not officially.

I agree he’s probably going. It feels like there’s a 5-10% chance of him staying but every so often those sort of chances come in. I think we just need to presume he’s going and work on anything else being a bonus.

What amazes me with French is that he’s struggled to hold a spot in the NRL. It’s a crazy league the NRL. There is so much quality in it but there’s also a number of players who seem to have stolen a living and then a number of players like French who seem to just get left out in the cold when they’re freakish athletes.

2nd French try will be talked about for years to come, not many others like that in recent years. Really enjoyed tonight,

It was outrageous. He scored a similar one against Catalans at home last season in one of his first games for us but it wasn’t as far out. He broke the line and had two defenders in front of him, one thinks he’s going on the outside, the other thinks he’ll come inside and he just shuffles his feet and walks In-between the pair of them.

He’ll leave a legacy behind now whatever happens.

Great French try but Salford were done post CC.
I wouldn't get too carried away.....

The past 10 or 11 CC losing finalists have won their next game. It was mentioned during commentary.

So not really par for the course.

I appreciate I sound like a broken record but what better opportunity for Greenwood to shine tonight? Especially given how dominant we were when he came on.

Every time he got the ball in his hands he looked to be going in slow motion.

He looks to be carrying too much weight and in my opinion again offered next to nothing.
