Eels main squad on website

Posted by LB on December 10, 2015 at 12:13am

the Eels main squad is on the website and was wondering how honeti tuha is on there and Joseph ualesi, while Bevan French who signed a 3, not 1, 3 year deal and not even in main squad over these guys who are on pretty much trial contracts/2nd tier. If Keiran Moss is our 2nd recognised fullback (as gutherson will more likely be playing centre already) than we're in trouble in that positionAnyone else see French on there????Anyone else missing?

LB i havnt seen the squad but i dont think French was ever a chance of cracking 1st grade next year, from all reports hes just not up to first grade standard yet.

cheers

Where can I find that on the website?

Yeah, I agree with snake, French is a bit young and lean and should be nutured this year in under 20's and NSW cup.

He is willing enough but needs to grow into his frame by about another 5kg +.

The blokes in the team profiles 38 of them are the most mature players in the club who are more likely to stand up to the rigors of nrl and NSW cup.

Maybe look in NYC squad profiles.

  They aren't up yet.

The only NYC-eligible player in the NRL squad is Tyrell Fuimaono, and probably because he can play centre. French and Twal (who were training with the NRL squad) play positions where you need to be more mature.

  French could be introduced FG on the wing

So JR7 MONTAGES just released a highlights reel on youtube of Jets flyer Marmin Barba. He is killing it why did we let him go!!!

  Because he was a complete dipstick who "needed to be closer to family"
  
  Marmin is good in Qld Cup, but doesn't have the same ability up against real RL players.
  
  If you look at the Jets, several of their 2015 squad have been picked up by NRL teams for 2016, but Marmin was NOT even considered.
  
  Should tell you something.

  Chris Sandow has a highlights reel too, so what is your point?
