French lessons all the rage for teen ace Jack

FARRIMOND EXCELLING UNDER MENTOR BEVAN

- By Dave Craven

WIGAN’S Jack Farrimond goes into the biggest game of his career admitting Bevan French taught him to get serious.

The teenage halfback has delivered some eye-catching performances while Australian superstar French has been crocked.

But, if selected tonight, he will be tested more than ever before when the champions face leaders Hull KR at Brick Community Stadium.

It is a game people have been talking about for weeks as Super League’s top two slug it out in what could be a Grand Final dress rehearsal.

And Farrimond, whose dynamic running game bears a resemblance to the brilliant French, has been getting plenty of advice from his injured teammate.
