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.

I'd be nervous if I were an opposition fan, player or coach as well because I think he can get even better as a stand off. He's been better this season as a stand off then he was in his spell there in 2023 and I think he can kick on again. He looks like he can break the line at will if he wants to and is looking more comfortable with being a little more selfish. I mean that in a good way because I thought he was too pass happy in his early months as a stand off and that is what the opposition will always want.

Scary stuff!
