Bevan french

Is anyone else dreading rd 19, when this beast is going to be dropped. Its inevitable and its quite sad because i can see it now, someone will take him from us some how and he will become one of the best players the game has seen.Anyone else willing to drop gutho or gordon to fit him into our team for the rest of the year?There may already be a similar blog to this one but meh, get over it :)

  • Whats happening rd 19?

  • I think we may get a preview of the backline for next year. My guess is that Taka may have a different role, possibly off the bench a la Ben Smith.
  • Even if he is dropped he has gained heaps. There is nothing wrong by taking all the expectation and pressure off for 2-3 weeks. I hate the fact that the press are crapping on about him. I hope it doesn't go to his head. He still has a lot to learn and definitely needs some extra kilos. If he doesn't get past his markers he's in danger of being pushed over the side line.
    • People keep saying he needs a few more kgs. WTF! How many players have they been saying that about? Alfie, Keary, Lockyer, Slater, even Steve Ella who was a match stick when entered fg, are but a few that have performed well at a light weight. Players eventually find their natural weight but that doesn't stop them playing good football. Yes sometimes they get run over but the same happens to even the biggest players. Tackling is about technique not how big you are. Just let him play, he can tackle as evidenced by his great tackle on Wade Graham, a much heavier man.

  • Jennings will be back and we will go back to our original backline.
  • Maybe, seems unlikely though.

    No harm in French going and starting at Fullback for Wenty.
  • How's our second tier cap? Can we afford to keep playing French?
  • Nothing wrong with French dropping back to Wenty and Hayneing them into winning nsw cup. Good experience.
  • Taka is a centre, a good one at that and shouldn't be put anywhere else. French going back to Wenty for a while isn't a bad thing. He is young and has plenty of footy ahead of him.
  • Because of the salary cap
