Bevan French reportedly signs with the Knights

I see Ponga pushing up into the halves to replace Milford and French going to fullback. He's too small for the wing.

I really hope he does well!

"The Daily Telegraph’s David Riccio revealed on SEN Radio that Bevan French is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Knights.

French will offer Newcastle a much-needed back-up option at fullback, with Tex Hoy off to the Super League next year.

The 26-year-old will of course also be pushing for a first-grade spot on the wing and will be hoping to continue his electric form, having ran in a record-breaking seven tries earlier this year in the Super League."

  • Ponga will stay at FB. They tried him at 6 but with no space to run, he was a bum. That and he can't tackle. He'd get plenty of traffic coming his way.

  • Eels should have signed French

  • Very happy we didn't sign him.

    • Mate thing of all the French women we could have met

  • Good to see French Back in nrl, his a talent. Now the game is bringing the smaller players back into game with this 6 again shit. 

  • I always liked French.I hope he makes us regret we didn,t take him

  • He's shit . Will fit in well up there with that dumb fuck of a coach at that dumb fuck of a club.  The only thing more dumbfuck Is the thought of us signing him. 

  • I can see him scoring a dozen tries playing on the wing vacated by Edrick Lee. The guy can play 

  • Knights really should be after a organising half, not this small brittle players who can turn it on but also can't at times. Anyways good luck to French. 

  • Bem ,did you not notice that when French was with parra Athur had the team going sideways leaving French no room to more and got (ragdolled ) it's been years since he left and went to England and he was given his rightful chance and has shown his skill and he's a far better player
