Wigan head coach Matt Peet insisted star half-back Bevan French will not cruise back into his side’s starting line-up despite stepping out of the treatment room to play a cameo role in their 40-10 Betfred Challenge Cup final thumping of Hull KR.
French returned from a hamstring injury six weeks earlier than planned, marking his appearance on the hour mark by scoring a try within two minutes after his understudy, Jack Farrimond, had paved the way to victory with two first-half tries.
