If he succeeds, he could quickly become one of the most exciting players in the Super League – someone who could make Wigan Warriors and their top players take notice.
As the Super League season approaches, one of the most exciting new signings
for St Helens has stirred the pot by comparing his playing style to two of
Wigan Warriors’ most electrifying stars, Bevan French and Jai Field. The
player, who has joined the Saints in a bid to strengthen their already
impressive squad, has confidently stated that his combination of speed, agility,
and creativity on the field mirrors the qualities that make French and Field
stand out in the Super League.
In an exclusive interview with club media, the new arrival expressed his
anticipation for the upcoming season and his eagerness to make an impact.
“I’ve always admired players like Bevan French and Jai Field,” he said.
“They’re both incredible talents who can change a game with their pace and
flair. I feel that I have similar attributes in my game, and I’m excited to bring
that to St Helens.”
French and Field have been among the standout performers in the Super
League in recent years, with French’s dazzling speed and elusive footwork
making him one of the most dangerous wingers in the competition, while Field
has been a revelation as a full-back with his breathtaking runs and playmaking
ability. Their impact on Wigan’s attack has been undeniable, and it’s no
surprise that St Helens’ new recruit sees them as benchmarks for success in
the league.
The comparison with these two high-profile players comes with considerable
expectations, but the new Saint is confident in his ability to live up to the
challenge. “I know the bar has been set high, but that’s what excites me,” he
continued. “At St Helens, I’ll be working with some of the best coaches and
players in the competition, and I believe this will help me develop even
further. I’m hoping to add that spark to the team, the same way Bevan and Jai
do for Wigan.”
The newcomer has already impressed the St Helens coaching staff with his
sharp footwork and breakaway speed, traits that have led some to liken him to
the aforementioned Warriors duo. His pre-season performances have shown
that he has the ability to pick up the pace in the big moments, an essential
attribute in the fast-paced, high-intensity world of Super League.
One of the standout qualities of both French and Field is their unpredictable
nature, which keeps defenders on edge. The St Helens signing is keen to
incorporate this aspect into his game, stressing the importance of creating
uncertainty in opposition defenses. “The key to success is being unpredictable,
always keeping the opposition guessing,” he added. “When you have that pace
and agility, you can force errors, make breaks, and really change the
momentum of a match.”
While both French and Field have been mainstays in the Super League and
have set a high bar, the St Helens player is no stranger to high expectations.
He is ready to embrace the pressure and contribute to the Saints’ pursuit of
silverware in 2024. St Helens have long been the benchmark for success in the
competition, with a rich history of dominating the Super League. The addition
of a player who is so eager to bring an extra dimension to the squad will only
bolster their challenge for a new title.
The team, who are fresh off yet another strong campaign, have bolstered their
roster with several new signings this offseason, and the expectations for 2024
are sky-high. “We’re aiming for nothing less than the top spot,” said the new
recruit, reflecting the club’s ambitions. “St Helens are a winning team, and I
want to be a part of that tradition. If I can bring the same kind of excitement
that players like Bevan French and Jai Field bring to their teams, I’ll be
happy.”
With the Super League season just around the corner, it will be fascinating to
see if the St Helens newcomer can deliver on his promise and live up to the
lofty comparisons with two of the competition’s most dynamic players. If he
does, he could very well become the next big thing in Super League – one that
might make Wigan Warriors and their stars sit up and take notice.
