| Love watching Bevan probably more than almost any player since the mid 80's when I first started watching Wigan.
Roberts sticks out as someone who was very similar to how Bevan plays but such a shame he got injured as I'm sure he would have been held in similar esteem if we had seen him for a few seasons.
I can't go past Hanley as the best Wigan player I've seen though. Probably the English player the Aussies respected most even to this day.

| Can't remember being as entertained by a player since Jason Robinson.

| Bevan certainly has an x factor and does things in a game that others cant. What he has demonstrated at Wigan is his versatility too, with performances at FB, Wing and Stand-Off, running in and creating tries in all 3 positions
i'd add Offiah into the overall conversation, whilst he wasnt the best RL player in the world, he could do things that no-one else could (or has done since) in terms of his ability to find the try line from anywhere. He just looked so elegant in full flight and could take virtualy anyone on the outside with a yard of space
Kenny, Miles and Barrett all had great seasons with Wigan, and were a joy to watch but unfortunately we only had them for the short term
overall, my favourite player was Ellery, as he really was poetry in motion but equally hard as nails.

I'd add Henry Paul to that.

| Bevan is one of the very best ever to play for Wigan.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

That is both literally true, and, y'know, the other way!

Boston was the best and the player the Aussies respected most.

| Has any other player taken the MOM in the WCC, the Lance Todd and the Harry Sunderland (Rob Burrows in Bev's case) in a single season before? Can't be too many.

| French is one those players who seems to see things other players do not, his rugby sense is a step above many players - allied with lightning pace off the mark and step make him a threat from nothing. Plus he works so hard in defense as well, we are lucky to have a player like that.
I think the club bringing over his brother and uncle for the game really hit him emotionally (in a good way) - such a classy move by the club.

| For me, the greatest overseas signing we've made in the Super League era. The most naturally gifted rugby league player ive seen (I was born in 92 for context).
Nathan Cleary giving him big wraps at half time too.
Enjoy him while we can. We won't see another for several decades.
