Bevan French. Is he our best option?

Seeing this kid every week, there's no doubt he's got talent. My only concern is that he is our last line of defence and he just doesn't have the body for it. He is an attacking weapon but when your FB can't even run the ball back from a kick without getting dragged back 5 metres you've got issues. Do you think he needs to be shifted to the wing? Or just some more defensive coaching and experience?

  • Better on the wing at the moment
    • Yep

      When Normz comes back Gutho to fullback and French on the wing
    • Yep my thoughts exactly
  • Gutho at fullback.. he has made all the breaks, has speed and is 191cm for the high kick
  • Another French to wing blog. There nearly as often as Hayne blogs.
  • It's looking like French will go to the wing. Gutho is just so involved.
  • I honestly think french is a winger
  • Considering we now have an injured right wing Brad Arthur once again won't have to make a selection decision. It seems our discussions regarding team selection are pointless considering how many injuries we always get.
  • Until he puts on more weight I would say gutho is the better option at the back
