As expected. I'll let you off the bet whilst you came back to face the music

I've heard Lam has already sounded him out about the possibility of playing centre next season and he's fine with the idea?

Wasn't mentioned, doesn't mean it isn't correct though.

Good on you for putting it right. Like many on here I'm very please French wasn't signed as a replacement for Zak, but an additional member to the squad.
Personally I hope we see Zak at 1 with French and Hastings in the halves.

That's good enough for me. Super news!

What's this about him being a naughty boy on holiday, hopefully just malicious rumours and nothing too serious.

Hardaker has made the fullback spot his for me. French should have to earn it on merit not be given it on name.

I agree. Hardaker has been solid at full back. With two exciting attacking halves surely it will help him improve next season back to his best (MOS standards).

And I for one cannot wait to see that trio in full flow.

Fingers crossed he can get through the winter ok

stop fishing

As long as it doesnt snow

I think some of these latter replies are unfortunate, not needed.
Zac will be really looking forward to having the quality of Burgess, Lockers, Hastings and French in the squad next year.
No one will be more aware of how that that upgrade in quality will benefit him. Pity Williams is going, him and Hastings could have been something special.
French though will give us something completely different.
We've asking for an exciting brand of rugby and he's been brought in to provide it and |I'm sure he will.
Be good to see how he goes this year. Hope he makes his debut v HKR as the Wire game could be one where Lam plays his full strength squad.

Perhaps a woolly hat and some gloves might just be the answer.
