So true Mr Snoodle so true, they are still light years ahead of us.

Field is a talent but I suspect teams will handle him a lot better in the second half of the season now they have had a look at him up close. There have been some poor attempts on him that other teams will learn from. Sort of a poor man's Graham Appo.

Cannot believe anyone who has watched Field over the last few weeks could knock this lad. He is class. Best RL player I have seen in UK for years.

I’ll get panned for this but he reminds me of Jonathan Davis at the moment. He’s just playing so well and with such pace and confidence.

Jonathan was absolute class. I bet he rates Field.

Who knocked him?

I think field and Wigan will look better with French in the team as well. The more threats on the field the better for the side with the threats in their ranks. Wigan are a long way behind saints but I think they're a fair distance ahead of everyone else.

Field is undoubtedly a superb player, but he's also playing in an era of biff, bash and muscle. Jiffy played in an era where most teams had at least one Jai Field, where the use of the legend tag was justified and he was still head and shoulders above his peers, here, in Aus and on both the club and international stage.

Field is a very good player. Davies was world class and levels above him.

I agree. Field is a dangerous player with great acceleration. He isn't world class, he wouldn't get a start in the NRL as he doesn't offer enough. He's poor defensively and doesn't contribute to the attack other than being a very fast and elusive runner. He's not even the best fullback at Wigan, Bevan French is a better player than him. French is a player I really rate, he's class, and Wigan would be better with French at fullback and Field at 6. Their halves are desperately poor and having Field there would add a dimension to their attack they don't have with wasters like Cust, Leuluai (Offensively) and Smith in the halves. They managed 0 against Catalans and 4 against Saints. When your attack consists of throwing is backwards in a panic until it reaches Field and expecting him to do something miraculous it's expecting a lot.

The same has been said for as long as I can remember and yet we never truly look that far off when it comes to internationals in the recent past, they might beat us by a try or two.

Field must now be odds on favourite to win the Man of Steel award for 2022.

The most ill informed, clueless post you've ever done and that's saying something! Congratulations.

It's not. Watch him play. He's a very dangerous player, as good a broken field runner as there is. But other than that he simply doesn't contribute at all. Watch the Good Friday game back and bar his finish he does literally nothing. Bevan French is a much better all-round player than he is. It's all relative, I'm not suggesting he's rubbish or that they should drop him (I'd play him at 6 to give them more threat in attack, which would also solve French not being able to defend on the wing), just that he has weaknesses in his game, ones that will stop him being the world class superstar that people think he is. 3 missed tackles in the Good Friday game and nowhere near any of the tries.
