Pure speculation and nothing more, but I've just seen that Paramatta are in the midst of a winger injury crisis. Both 1st team wingers are missing, with Haze Dunster now out for the full season.

I wonder if they'll look at French as an option for this season?

Didn’t Field choose not to go home in the off season? Doesn’t sound like someone who doesn’t want to be here to me.

Especially if his partner is supposedly back in Aus. Something not stacking up here. Be good to hear something from the club or the man himself about his future plans but I'm not sure how likely that is to happen.

If we have any hope of any Australian speedsters sticking around, it would help us if Mother Nature f*cked the constant storms off. I’m tempted to go home to Australia and I’m from Platt Bridge.

There's been some pretty inclement weather in Australia lately, haven't you noticed?

The Ashes were a bit wet to be fair. Still I think I’d rather be wet in 30 degrees, than wet in 1 degree, all whilst chasing my wheelie bin down the street in my slippers.

Who knows but on the plus side I’ve just noticed he’s back in the country on Instagram, which is nice to see. They can get plenty of work in to him now and ease him back in when he’s ready.

Glad he’s back, luckily no need to rush him.

How long do we reckon it’ll be until he plays?

I reckon 5/6 weeks

Tough to say. I suppose it depends on his condition right now and if that hamstring is 100% and ready to go. If it is then you think they’d want to put him through a few weeks conditioning and then look at a couple of reserve fixtures maybe. There looks to be a reserve fixture on the last weekend in March, so in an ideal world maybe that, then a decent challenge cup fixture and then it’s the Easter fixtures and you’d like as many options as possible around then. If that’s realistic who knows! Whatever we do we can’t make the same mistakes as last season.

I really hope we can hang on to at least one of them. Everyone is talking about Field now, obviously, but Bevan wasn't exactly shabby before, was he? I think 'fitting them both in' is much less of a problem than 'what shall we do when they've both gone?'.
