Rumoured Targets 3

[Yosh]

As hard as it is to argue against that obvious top 4 spine featuring 2 unproven halves (one who doesn't play for the Knights, one who might not either in 2026 unless he significantly improves), having the incumbent NZ hooker on your bench and u/19 Blues hooker behind him in reserve grade illustrates why I don't think hooker is the area of the spine they'll be looking to throw big money at.

Okay. So which position you wanna throw your money at? We are going to have ample funds available in 2026. Which player you wanna throw it at then?

Bevan French is a player whose evolution into a top class half has been unforseen by anyone. With the exception of his coach Matt Peet. Wigan are a delight to watch in top gear. French was meant to come here as a winger for depth. How quickly things can change. It is a Bellamy like adaptation of a player to new position. I have said it in here before. Matt Peet should be a target to possibly coach here. He is very impressive and humble. You can see he knows this game inside out.

French was fullback and 5/8 coming through the grades so it's not that big a stretch he was able to become a good ESL half

Unfortunately the game over there is very different, especially defencively so I wouldn't be so confident of him replicating that form in the NRL
