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.

The form of Bevan French in recent months has been ridiculous but Field has done it for the full season and he’s played a major part in the returns French has got this past few months. He’s shown a different side to his game and some of the touches have been sublime. His bravery is a really underrated quality as well. He should win the award IMO.
