Congratulations to Bevan French on winning the Man of Steel award. It puts to shame all those who, on this forum, have complained that he was being played out of position.

Well deserved recognition for a player who has been outstanding this year.

He may have played out of his usual position but that (in my humble opinion) makes his achievement even better.

Maybe it's his new position, who knows.

I think it’s just because he’s not your typical half who orchestrates the game fans think he’s not right for the position, but he’s ideal playing next to Smith imo and his try and assist record proves how good he’s been, he will always cop flak for this reason though and I’m sure if we lose Saturday or next season fingers will be pointed his way.

He’s been due one hasn’t he. He just seems a top bloke as well as a top player and it was nice to hear how proud he was that he’s been able to win that and honour his late mother.

I don’t think we’ve scratched the surface of him playing at 6 yet. There were teething problems and there things to work on but it could go to another level yet.

So delighted for Bevan, fully deserved. He has repaid the club for the faith they showed in him, and clearly worked very hard with the coaching staff to hone his remarkable talents, and the results, and the stats, speak for themselves.

Let's hope he's here for many years to come.
