I am...a bit older, and I think, at this stage of his career I still couldn't quite put French over the likes of Hanley. As you say, if he maintains this level of performance and sees out this whole contract he will move up the rankings. Even so, he has already won a Man of Steel, been top try scorer in a season,
broken the super league record for tries in a match and made the dream team 3 times in 4 years in 3 different positions. His individual accolades are already outstanding. I'd say he had overtaken Pat Richards as our best ever Australian import (I can't put Kenny, Miles or Renouf ahead of Richards due to his length of service).

But in terms of sheer enjoyment of watching a player, I can't really put anyone ahead of him anymore. He does things that no one else can and he can do it against the very best opposition as well as in the easy games. I also think his rugby brain is such that he will remain a threat even as his pace declines a bit, just as Tomkins did.

100% agree, at times we have criticised Rads but he has stuck at it, learned and applied that knowledge - now its paying dividends.

On Bevan, top 3 best for sure after this weekend. Before, my son and I were saying that he hadn't delivered a killer performance in a final and now he has. He has done everything else and with a casual genius that makes us take him for granted, no more!!!

Get what you mean but Bevan scored a killer try in at Wembley that sickened Wire off. He's a yard offside away from having scored the winners in all three finals this season.

MOTM in all three finals this season, says it all really.

Enjoy him while we can.

I have a feeling he’ll be off home at the end of next year. If he does it would be with my best wishes and hopefully a nice transfer fee. I reckon that would be perfect timing for Farrimond to take his place.
