Absolutely no way would I want to lose either and bringing Croft in wouldn't alter that. As others have said, it's early days for French at 6 but he's clearly growing into the role and not slowly either. He's taking big strides every game as we've seen in the last 2. He's a smart player with a multiple skillset. Let's be patient for once. He has the tools to make this a success and, if he does, he could turn out to be one of the best in SL. Answer me this; which 6 would teams prefer running at them? French or literally any other 6 in the comp? He has a great cut out pass on him (just needs to know when to utilise it better) and his kicking game is coming on leaps and bounds. In fact it was nothing short of excellent against KR.
If I could choose 2 players I wouldn't want lining up against Wigan in a final, French and Field would be around the very top of that list. And that's before we even factor in the sheer entertainment we get from both players. Keep both and give it time. Nothing else needs considering at this point.
I’ve got to admit that Bevan is growing on me as a six but let’s see how he performs for the rest of this season. Two things I want to see is a better understanding with our three quarters and doing away with the cut out pass when he has thrown a dummy. The golden rule of rugby league is that if you throw a dummy you take on the line otherwise you are allowing the defence to advance and possibly intercept the ball. I like you, Phuzzy, am now willing to give him a chance to make the position his own.
