Quote ="Judder Man"Don't think he is anywhere near the same level of Pat Richards or Jamie Lyon, those 2 could defend and read the game brilliantly. The significance of what French did over here was to score 7 tries and to fall asleep for Welsby to score the last second winner in such a massive game by way of the grand final.
French is a great finisher but the likes of Pat Richards and Jamie Lyon attributes are considerably much more than that.'"
I agree that Richards/Lyon had more attributes but not to be anywhere near that level as you have stated is a tad on being insulting as to what he has suffered this last 2 seasons to come back and do what he is doing.
Welsby was a bounce of the ball that is all could have happened to anyone.
Also this season has not ended yet so he yet could be a grand final winner.
