And let me guess, he will be sacked from Wigan and will return to castleford to lead you to grand final glory?

Hope not.

At least next season you’ll be able to share your obsession of Zak with Mitch Clark

Widdop was back as captain of St. George last weekend and played the full game. Good performance considering his long layoff.

Bennett said a couple of months ago that his preferred half back pair for England was Williams and Widdop.

Yea I thought that’s what it was,I do find it bizarre peoples obsession with the lad

Was it not Cas fans on here who broke his drink driving story?

There’s a few comments on the cas forum that he’s been naughty again but not enough to concern me yet.

It would explain the French signing though. I guess we’ll find out by Thursday.

Would probably be a good thing for you - one of the areas you can cover relatively easily (particularly now with French) and he looks a fair way short of where he was for Leeds/Cas to me.

Like with TT, would probably be a convenient shame.

He’s not stood out but he’s been very steady and good in defence. When you consider the time out he’s had he’s been a success I would say. He’s also covered at centre and done well and we are fairly light in that position so having emergency cover in this position helps.
I for one hope it’s just gossip and he’s on our books next season and can build a partnership with Hastings like he had with Gale and become an attacking force.

Can’t agree, he’s not been at his MOS challenging form but has been decent. Lam’s way of playing is starting to show, that combined with recent signings has the potential to bring the best out of him.

I approved of his signing and still do, there will always be a sense of a ticking time bomb with him and always be rumours whether true or not.

I told you all a long time ago he would be back in a Castleford shirt. He has been homesick since day one and he has wanted a return closer to home and his family. Castleford have made things difficult with the refusal to allow Mitch Clark to join early but given he's decided to abuse the freedom the club allowed I doubt it will hold up things much. Shame really as he could have become a real force here at Wigan but a want-away player is never good.

So French to fullback then.

What’s he been up to now?

Bit of a ter really, team isn’t looking as strong as we thought for next season then. I’m also suprised Cas are willing to take him back.

I think when the first few rumours of Bevan French signing circulated a few people found it confusing, simply because he won't be cheap and the reason he has fell out of favour at Parramatta was a clash regards him playing full back. I posted on the rumour forum a month or so ago (before Bevan was even touted) that ZH wouldn't be at Wigan next year, the club is well aware of his desire to return closer to his family and although he has settled in with the club, I am (reliably) told the club believe holding him to the remaining 3 years of his deal would be playing with fire.
