| Watching these Bevan French tries tonight with his sublime footwork has got me thinking about some of the greatest side steppers we've ever had.
So, who's your top three?
Mine from memory:
John Ferguson
Jason Robinson
Bevan French
Notable mentions Amos Roberts, Sam Tomkins and Dean Bell.

| Best sidestep ? Has to be John Ferguson . Fergusons main asset was his 'speed off the mark' and that sidestep. Whilst he was no slouch, he wasn't a real 'speedster' , for example that famous try he scored when Brett Kenny was running alongside him urging him on to score, which he did.
Ray French described John Ferguson as "being able to sidestep on a tanner" .

| Sam Tompkins for me. Best player I've seen in my generation of watching RL. Still top notch now.
Would he have been worth more yo the side on marquee money than George Burgess?

| Maybe unfair (I haven't watched as much non-Saints SL this year as I have in the past for various reasons) but French looks to be a player who can look untouchable when you are in flat-track bully mode running in tries but not sure how effective he is otherwise.
Looking forward to seeing him tonight in the derby - first UK game I've actually looked forward to watching in what feels like months.
