THIS.
Reading between the lines I'd say Lam sees French as a half. This is what makes sense. French has been playing 6 in over in Aus. Lam says he doesn't fully know where French fits for this season, but does for next. The obvious difference is Williams. Here for this, gone for next.
French can play wing and FB. I can imagine French coming in on the wing for this season, or covering injuries across the backline. But when the dust settles I'd put money on French as a 6.
Personally that's where I want him at Wigan. Hastings and French in the halves with Hardaker at FB with Tommy and Sam sharing the 9 position. Shorrocks and Sammut as cover.
I don't really see any room now for Escare to be honest, we seem to have depth in the positions he can play.
