It's a while ago now but I'm almost sure Ian French played loose forward,if so I would have him over Lidner any day of the week.
French was an absolute tackle machine,and could break a tackle just as good as lidner.
For me French was one of the pivotal players that got us to wembley 86
With you Turin all the way.
Always thought he was one of our unsung heroes that year. A workhorse and grafter. Simply a great team player.
I remember him shoving that big centre of HKR's ( can't remember the name but was Aus or NZ and good) into touch at Wembley to save a try. The guy never stopped working. An absolute hero with the rest of that team.
Great Days
...are here again ??
