Frenchy is killing it at moment in the UK and I reckon he could me our missing X factor we are oooking for. We could move Gutho into the left centre and French back to fullback.

"It's a good point LB. A few people seem to think Flegg is above reserve grade standard, or that players are better at 21 than they are at 26. Jake Tago is at his peak. It might be a relatively low peak, but he is still well ahead of most 21 year…"
"Like an example like Conor Muhleison, who is hurt currently, as an example. Played some NRL, a fair bit of NSW Cup and would do a job.

I rather persist with blaze at fullback. French d is still terrible
Blaze Dunster ??? Surely not
Can't and won't happen so this post is somewhat meaningless.
He is good in a reserve grade comp like ESL but is reserve grade quality in the NRL.
You only need to look at some of the other players that have dominated the ESL to realise it's not a great yardstick. Some Aussies have played until their well into their 60's / early 70's , and Sam Tomkins is like their version of Andrew John's and the guy was an abortion at NRL level.
BUT didn't Wigan beat Penrith overnight in the world club champs.....??
I think we could fit French on a wing and let him rove a bit, his defence is ok technivally it is just his size that was an issue in OZ, that said he has grown out a bit and is stronger.Just the same I dont think BA is a great fan of Frenchie and if he does come back would he want to play with us? In a different style of side he could be sensational, just a case of having the right people around him. Is Pieera (spell) the Titan's winger any bigger? I suspect we would have him a heartbeat if he was available.
The WCC is a bit of a furfie. Irrespective of last night's result, I don't think a single ESL team would make the top 8 in the NRL if they were part of te full 26 round competition.
Phuleeeease , the fact you use that as a comparison to the NRL competition says enough .
one team travels around the globe into the oposite climate and then some, and most players play their first game in months . Not to mention treat it like a end of season trip away. .
French would do better than both Sivo and Simonsson. Both are useless.
For those that haven't seen him lately, he has bulked up a bit and retained his speed. He defends like a backrower. Also the ball seems to always fall into his hands.
