I'm sorry but how Bevan French isn't on that list i will never know. He's been absolutely unplayable against at times.

My three would have been Field, French and Croft.

Was he really? I genuinely can't remember it. Must be easy enough tho 100% of the ball and no pressure to do anything (blame the rest of the team, when it doesn't come off).

Field has taken somewhat of a back seat since French came back, but he's still been very good. He gets his hands on the ball less, but makes more happen.

I think you’re downplaying and being a but disrespectful to what Croft has done this season.

With regards to Field I don’t think he’s taken that much of a back seat, he’s normally been the one feeding French for his try’s and for me rightly won our player of the year and should win man of steel.

I'm not sure how many times Field has got 3 points recently with French taking centre stage.

I can see Welsby winning it TBH

That really wouldnt surprise me but it would be a travesty, ala Barrett not winning it, if Welsby got it

Owing to some of the farcical winners in the past I don't give much credence to this award.

Re: Field-Man of Steel shortlist : Thu Sep 08, 2022 7:41 pm  

Field, French, Croft would have been my 3 and in that order

Honourable mentions to Welsby, Roby (standard) Passi, Lomax, Farrell, Marshall, Levi, Sio, eeeerrrr..... Can't think of anybody else worth a mention. Smith clicked midway through the season and has been outstanding since.

If Lewis Dodd hadn't have got injured and had carried on his form he would have certainly been in the top 3 conversation.

Re: Field-Man of Steel shortlist : Thu Sep 08, 2022 7:50 pm  

What about the top 3 flops? Big money earners who haven't delivered.

1. Williams
2. Bentley
3. Austin

I would have given split the award to French and Field.

Hard for us to judge as Wigan fans but if you asked randomly super league fans who they thought the best player in the league was this year I’d wage 80% would say French or Field.

It’s been the French and Field season.
