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.

I've said before that I'd much rather have French than Field. I remember French playing for Parramatta and he didn't do too much wrong, just that they had an exceptional talent in Gutherson; I can't believe the talk that they'd waste him (Gutherson) at centre. Would love to see French stay. Two covering defenders, leave them grasping at thin air and dot it down under the posts; that's Shaun Johnson stuff. Wonderful to watch.

Did nothing wrong jonh
Hes been pretty good since the restart

Isa had thebquitest game I think I've ver seen him have, but that doesnt mean I'd come on here and have a go after a 50point win

I saw the OP and just scrolled on. It's selective praise/criticism with some - neither Greenwood or Isa did much right or wrong.

Speaking of other guys who get no knocked...

I thought Burgess and Bibby both played well. Burgess showed some good pace to get past Watkins and slip the ball back to Faz for his 1st. Thought he showed plenty of enthusiasm in defence too. Bibby also put a shift in and was almost Davies or Sarge like with his first hit up carries. Great break for French's first try too.

I know others disagree, but I'm struggling to think of any club who could call on quality like that for their 3rd and 4th choice winger options.

Another quote of mine from our WhatsApp group

Apart from that dropped ball Budgie been great

Burgess has shown signs of getting back to his best this season. His pace looks to be back and he’s building his confidence up.

I could see him absolutely smashing it under Watson next season.

I’m going to come in with an unpopular opinion here. But I don’t think French is good enough for NRL. He isn’t particularly skilful in terms of passing/kicking. He’s very fast and has a great step, but he isn’t the biggest/strongest and defences are generally better in the NRL than Super League.

I think he’s at his level right now if I’m honest. I see him as someone like a Amos Roberts or George Carmont who were never top NRL players, but were excellent in Super League.

Completely agree with this . Also don’t think he would shine in a tight playoff game / final . Hope I’m proven wrong.

Can we at least have a go at BFUT?

I know it was his first game back but still...
