Great news that.
This squad of players are so strong and settled,methinks a few good years on the horizon (last couple not shabby).


Well done Rads & co.
Also a note for Lenagan-thanks for getting Danson involved sir.

Fantastic news.

I think both he and Field have started the season a little slow, with the exception of Penrith, maybe due to their extended time home during the off season but without doubt they will both come good as the season progresses.

To have the spine secured for such a long time is great news.

The only thing we need to manage if Farrimond because he’s a special talent with his path to first team blocked for the short/medium term. I am certain though he will be aware of the plan for him which will be in place.

It’s great the we won’t have the will he won’t he conversations going on as a distraction through the year.

I fully agree. I would also add we need a route for Forber as well.

Another great signing for Wigan and also for the SL competition too, as we need to keep top players like French

Re: Bevan French 4yr deal : Wed Apr 03, 2024 5:53 pm  

Feckin brilliant

What wonderful news. No really.

Re: Bevan French 4yr deal : Wed Apr 03, 2024 6:42 pm  

I'm surprised too, and absolutely delighted. And as said, it's good news for the comp too to keep quality players in SL.

Sounds like you'll be announcing Dodd has signed up soon, him and Welsby gives you a good chunk of your spine sorted for the next few years

Re: Bevan French 4yr deal : Wed Apr 03, 2024 8:25 pm  

Excellent news.
After we signed Jai up again, I felt sure that Bevan would leave.
Absolutely made up with this.

I'm as giddy as everyone else, but like you was concerned about what this meant for Farrimond. Hopefully, in this new age of forward thinking at the club, he (or his agent) have already been kept abreast of developments.
