If we can teach a couple of the props to bust a tackle or throw the odd offload with Hastings doing the bulk of the organising/playmaking role & French been used more as a runner/support player I'd imagine they'd be an absolute nightmare of an halfback pairing to play against, unfortunately for it to work all depends on the pack actually laying a platform & getting abit of a roll on up middle to take advantage of broken defensive line/tired retreating defenders. Zak might even become abit more of a threat chiming in then with some doubt in the defence

Poor terminology but I think you get the jist of it.

I too want French on the ball, as I’ve said give him the ball in space and there’s not many who would catch him. I’m just unsure which position is best, I think we could come up with reasonable arguments advocating him for most, if not all, back line slots.

From what ive seen hes been great scored a few for salford in big games and has a great combination with Hastings ... looking forward to.seeimg these two in the Cherry & White next season!

So what's your point now?

Ive got a point ..... isnt this a Jake Bibby thread?

Do Wigan need a top class centre? It’s clear we needed to add quality to the forwards and at half back and we have done just that.

Bibby looks strong to me and seems to link with Hastings well, he looks like a player who will improve at Wigan and has the right attitude to fit in well.
