We have French, Farrimond can go in the halfs
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
Given Field got engaged whilst he was back in Oz, I'd expect at some stage in the next year or two he'll be considering a return home. We need to make the most of the time we have him!
Him, French, Ellis and Miski seem really close and as much as it's a professional sport, the lure of keeping them all goes down once one of them goes.
"Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.
Perhaps this is why some time ago there were rumours we were interested in Ryan Brierley.
Disappointed if Field left but of there's a decent offer in the NRL then it would be hardly unexpected he would go back. No doubt the club are ahead on this.
I imagine his 4 year deal only as a release clause to NRL at a certain fee. Can’t see him at Wigan unless it’s after a NRL stint that’s cut short for the usual reasons.

this is from the club site, no mention of 2 + 2 or release clause. I know we wouldnt normally get told about the clause, but often the terms will be there ie 2 years plus 1 in the players / clubs favour

I remember somebody getting a 2+2 deal but wasn't that French with his previous deal to the one he's on now?
The article this rumour came from seemed to suggest Field being off contract was common knowledge but it's not listed as such anywhere. It seems as though Field himself as suggested that is the case though, so it presumably is some sort of deal with options built in. The good thing from Wigans POV is that should Field want an NRL deal, he is going to be busting a gut to impress in 2025 and that can only be positive in the short term. Hopefully he's feeling 100% fit now because I don't think that was the case for much of last year.
