Most entertaining player in Super League

Bevan French is the best player we have in Super League in the eyes of Sky Sports pundit Kevin Brown and it’s incredibly hard to disagree, especially after a performance like the one we saw from the Wigan Warriors star on Saturday afternoon at Huddersfield Giants.

Co-commentator Brown and main man on the mic in Dave Woods both had a glowing review of French’s performance in Wigan’s 48-6 win.

The Aussie’s star quality once again shone through as he managed to get over two tries, but also made two – playing teammates Kruise Leeming and Abbas Miski for simple walk-ins respectively.

His assist for Leeming midway through the second half at the John Smith’s Stadium was truly spectacular, somehow finding the hands of his team-mate with a behind-the-back pass as he was dragged to the ground by two Giants defenders.

And as Sky showed replays of that ridiculous talent, with Woods describing it as “like something out of the magic circle”, Brown marveled like the rest of us.

He said: “There are things that people do on a rugby field that most players can do or a lot of the best players can do, but what Bevan French does … he’s alone in the world rugby, especially with the way he can change his pace from both feet.

“The world-class French talent, he just gets up and then BANG, he goes out the back door. Quality, quality game.”

An ode to Bevan French: the most entertaining player in Super League

Ridiculously enough, the Frenchman made 221 meters at the John Smith’s Stadium as the Warriors enjoyed a field day in the second half, going down just 12-6 at half-time after seeing Liam Byrne sin in the first minute of the match. top 40 closely contested.

Only winger Liam Marshall, who grabbed a hat-trick, made more meters than the Frenchman, and the winger was also the only man to make more tackles, 16 to the full-back’s 15.

An average gain of 15 meters isn’t bad at all for the Frenchman and we’re sure his three clean breaks right through the Giants defense will have been much appreciated by everyone at the Cherry & Whites, including his team-mates.

Matt Peet’s men have returned to the top of the Super League table despite playing a game less than their runners-up, the perfect set-up for a Challenge Cup semi-final against Hull KR next weekend where the Warriors will be looking for revenge . last year’s pain in the same competition at the same stage against the same opponents.

Co-commentator Brown continued to express the lyrics after the French game, adding: “Every time he touches the ball, you just think ‘what is he going to do?’ and can do anything.

“His passing, his shooting, his running is the best in the competition. When he’s in that fluent form, he can do almost no wrong, and his game today was sensational.

“He scored two world-class tries but for me the pass of the game was the one from the back to Kruise Leeming. The game was already done then and it was almost an exhibition piece.”

And among Woods’ final comments was to point out that French was “doing a one-man show”. These happen most weeks now. Sensational.
