Wigan doing their best to keep Bevan French, says Adrian Lam

Correspondent

Wigan coach Adrian Lam says the club “are doing their best” to keep hold of star full-back Bevan French.

The Australian scored three tries and set up two more to help the Warriors to a hugely-impressive 58-12 victory at St Helens and show what Super League will be missing in 2021 if, as expected, he returns to the NRL.

But coach Adrian Lam says French has not made his mind up and the club are working hard to persuade him to stay.

Lam said: “He’s been unbelievable for us and he’s only going to get better if we can keep him here next year. I think he’d grow another leg.

“We’re doing our best to keep him.

“It’s well known that he’s getting a few bites from the NRL but it’s not a done deal and be reassured we’ve left no stone unturned. I talk to Bevan every day and that will continue.

“We’re working hard as a club to make sure he gets what he wants but at the end of the day it’s Bevan who has to make that decision.”
