Made up, or not I'd love a season without speculation.

I wouldn't be too fussed if French didn't come back tho tbh. Good player, but not the superstar some on here make out. It was also reported on the Wigan website that, due to lockdown over there, his rehab hasn't gone to plan.

Hopefully it's another wake-up call to the club to stop these short term deals and stop targeting lads who've still got something to prove in the NRL. Give me a good player like Coote who was never going to go back, but still had plenty of miles left in his career.

Perhaps, in the case of French, the rumour has appeared because there has been no comments from him that he is looking forward to working under the new coaching team led by Matty Peet.

Just silence!


As for Hardacre, I think it is just a case of Yorkshire clubs facing the fact that they will after pay a transfer fee for him.

You should know by now, what the tykes are like when money is involved!

The Yorkshire club won't pay a fee if there's a swap involved.

Anyone else seen that a chap called Chris Ashton is “unhappy” in rugby union and that he is “mysteriously” unavailable for his club...?

I wonder whose shirt he'll appear online in next?

I seriously hope it isn't ours.

Can't argue with any of that to be honest

This. George Ford, who has been unceremoniously dropped from England though….

To be honest out of them both i would be most gutted about losing Zak. French has barely played for us in 2 years and I honestly don’t think we’d notice the difference. I’m convinced the money is best spent elsewhere.
