Wigan Warriors star talks ‘magical’ Bevan French and possible dynasty

Wigan Warriors man Liam Farrell has given his verdict on Rob Burrow Award-winning Bevan French, and the possibility of the club creating a dynasty.

The Warriors took home yet another trophy at the weekend, beating Hull KR to take a second Grand Final victory in a row.

Despite an early disallowed try for the Robins, it was Matt Peet’s side that always looked like they’d win the game.

Bevan French was the man who scored the only try of the match and unsurprisingly he was chosen to collect the newly named Rob Burrow award as man of the match.

Following the game, second-rower Liam Farrell said of French, to Sky Sports: “He’s ridiculous. That’s the only thing I can say is, you think there’s nothing on and then all of a sudden he turns up with a magical play.

“Bevan is Bevan, he does it in training every week, every day. He doesn’t train the hardest, but when he turns it on, he turns it on. He’s been relaxed all week. All the lads have said they’re nervous, and he’s just said, ‘I’m excited to go on.’

“He’ll enjoy the next couple of days, and the next eight weeks too.”

The side have been dominant for the past couple of years in big games, and asked whether they could keep this up to become a dynasty, Farrell said: “Possibly, yeah. I don’t know, we’ve just got a great group of players, and we’re willing to buy in and work for each other. We’re doing that on and off the field and if we continue to do that then maybe so, but I think we’ll just enjoy this one for now and have a very good off-season.”
