FRENCH FANCY

WIGAN star Bevan French has no qualms with yet another positional switch as he basically tricked his coach into making it. 

Stand-off is the Aussie flyer’s third role this season, but he is not complaining ahead of Sunday’s Challenge Cup semi-final against Hull KR.

French was Super League’s top scorer last term with 31 tries, mainly from the wing, so it was no surprise he started this campaign there.

But many reckon his best position is full-back where his electric pace has helped produce sublime displays for Matt Peet’s side this year.

However, French is set to play No.6 at Headingley for the Cup holders.
