See heaps of people here blasting French, did I miss something? was he really that bad tonight? yes his attack needs work in terms of decision making but his chiming in is getting there, he is in desperate need of an offensive mind to guide him. And defence, haven't realised on the wing that he can tackle???? and people having a go at a fullback for not tackling, its more worrying that our fullback is in position to make so many tackles, what does it say for our front line of defence?
Tonight our worst by a mile was Jennings bros, Hoffman and Takairangi, I thought French wasn't great, but not terrible either. mark my words, he leaves and gets in the hands of a good offensive mind watch him go.

He wasn’t first grade level , but either were 99% of the squad . I think people are just disappointed because we had high hopes for French and he’s turned out a fringe first grader .
Then again teams break apart our front line like its nothing
Can still be a good player but needs time in reserve grade. Latrell played there last years and is now a better player for it
They would have scored no matter what he did on that one anyway. They had a massive over lap with both Jennings at marker.
Why he rushed up from fullback to try and pressure Walker is beyond me. Left no one at home for the kick. Silly play.
Gutherson back to fullback please. French to wing. Moses to 5/8 and Norman No. 7
LB- my Dad and I were having this exact conversation this morning as we sat waiting to check our baggage onto our flight. Dad (a Roosters fan by the way) and I agree with you on all points above
Oh come on amanda, he was appalling last night.
