That the main reason he got the job is because McCurry owed him a favour

Everyone knows someone, the Rugby League universe is fairly small. No doubt their past working relationship was a factor in his favour, and having worked with McCurry at the Tigers he also knows what sort of restructure the football department is going to need, having already been through that process at the Tigers.
I don't see it as a problem.
Let's remember, Shane McCurry didn't do the hiring of the GM.
Could you really see French getting a wing spot over Remis Smith or Montoya, or Hoppa @ fullback, maybe he just stays at Wenty under Potter as the 1. and be a back up Fullback for 1st
"Anyone hear Brent Read? He said no issues with what Rodski did. He said all clubs contact Abdo. What he is not getting is the wording. Applying blowtorch is pretty much saying to the NRL "Get them to accept whatever we want" plus he must've missed…"
"I think Samrani could be a choice on the wing. He's a big boy and posted some great numbers yesterday. 15 runs for 168 metres of which 50 were post contact. I didnt recall him being pushed back once. He has intent and plays hard. Really like this…"

So what if it is true! All people deserve a second chance and besides what has he actually done wrong?

The only sensible comment on the issue.
Hes stated he wants a NRL first grad gig at fullback, hes hardly going to be happy playing out his career at Wenty as a first grade ring in.
Weve told him he can go, smart move from the club, obviously the right move imo, hes a massive weakness,
