Can French get back in - what is our best 17?

Posted by Wile E. Coyote on April 29, 2017 at 6:21am

French and Moses could turn up for round ten, Takarangi a bit later.Semi could stay for the rest of the year if his court case goes well.If Moses takes the half spotDoes French take Fullback, right wing or Wenty?If French is Fullback does Guth take right centre or wingAuvaa has been very impressive at centre - does he get to stay starting centre this year and nextDoes Hoff go to Wenty?If Semi is out it is a little easier to fit everyone in- but don't want that - will be a big loss for our team when he leavesHoff should be the one to make way. Does he go to bench utility instead of Smith or to Wenty!IMO if Moses comes and Semi stays then French to wing and Hoff to 14 and Smith to WentyBut expect French back to Fullback and Guth to right centre or wing

If all goes well with semi and say mosses comes in I replace hoffdog with French mosses in the halves and smith 14 but we all know Arthur won't drop anyone so I don't see Hoffman losing he's spot

I was actually thinking the same thing about Bevan, it's going to be hard to find a spot for him at the moment. Will Smith was great in the halves as well.

Gutherson must stay fullback at the moment. He has done everything to suggest he should be rewarded for his efforts.

If Semi goes, french to wing, otherwise it's NSW cup.

  Oh no. You didn't just say that. Here we go, team lists galore on the way

Every time I've seen our club have an apparent abundance of riches and too many players to choose from, almost always injury will mean that selections take care of themselves.

  Or a suspension or, dare I say it, an off field incident.

French is our fullback, he'll play there whenever he's fit. Bevan will improve out of sight over the course of the season. He has more talent in my opinion then any other in the competition. He has areas to work on and you can only do that by gaining experience. For his development he must stay at the back and we'll be rewarded. Wait till this kid becomes a senior member of this squad and how good he'll have become these questions on whether he stays custodian will be looked back on and met with a cringe.

  Agree Bup. Add to that - IMO there is only one person in the competition with the footwork of French (that being Ponga).
