It's on the Wigan board he's signed for this season and two seasons after 2019.

Exciting player with pace to burn but the big question is where will he play? Potentially on the right wing this year? Not sure about 2020.

Looking forward to watching him play

Really interested to see where he fits in. Great signing though, like the idea of getting a new face in before the end of the season, gives everyone a kick!

Excited to see the lad go! Just hope people give him time - we're almost at the business end of the season and it's going to take him a while to get up to speed and settled in etc.

Still not sure if we had a greater need at prop for this season tho?

Interesting to see where he will play, but still a great signing and adds more pace to an already lightening back line

That'll do me just fine. However our prop situation is looking dire, Clubb and Flower left, with Hamlin and Tautai gone and now Bullock out for the season, it gives the young lads plenty of game time and they haven't key us down yet. That aside, French coming in gives us options in attack and it's a kick up the backside for all our backs now if they want to keep their place.

Happy with this one! For this year can just cover full back, wings, centres and halves should injuries/ drop of form occur.

For next year as Hastings is such a controlling half back.

I’d play him at 6 and let him run the ball.

Don’t really follow the NRL in any great detail but, after having watched the 2016 highlights of him on YouTube, I can’t wait to see him in action.

We are starting to see some ‘proper’ signings at last and I sense that Adrian Lam is feeling like he’s the main man rather than some interim project.

Well done to IL and all concerned. I’m hoping there’s one more piece in the jigsaw still to be announced and we all know who that is!

I think it's more a case of who is available concerning props if we can't get a top prop i wouldn't bother just concentrate on getting Burgess

Yeah that's probably true.

Cas being the usual pr!cks that they are and not letting Clarke come early really leaves a sour taste imo.

Quality signing that if he can recapture his form from a few seasons ago

Can't blame them. Why should they help a rival? I doubt Wigan would do any different in their shoes.

As for French, like a lot of people, I feel our need is greater in the forwards.


BUT... it would be churlish to complain about signing an exciting attacking talent when it becomes available. As remarked upthread, we will have an excellent back-line at this rate with pace to burn. Now if we could really snap up George Burgess as well, I think anyone questioning the club's ambition will have their answer.
