Is Bevan French and Zach Dockar-Clay making first grade stints this week

Posted by Trent Lethorn on May 18, 2015 at 3:04pm

Bevan French may be playing first grade this week as will Hopoate is out with nsw duties so maybe French can play fullback, Robinson wing & Morgan centre if there is no announcement about him leaving if so Folau comes in and ZDC may replace de Gois as utility hooker as BA obviously does not want peats to play 80 for some ridiculous reason ZDC and French are both young blood and may just get to stay in first grade with solid performances I know this is very unlikely but I just think it should happen. What do you think? Are they ready? Who else will replace hoppa and de Gois?

I think john Folou might come into centres. Morgan has been good on the wing so far

  I think you'll find Hoppa is playing for nsw meaning he as well as EVERY OTHER Orgin player WILL NOT be playing this weekend.

Up until 2 weeks ago never heard of French, now I'm thinking he's our saviour.

BA will probably want a utility on the bench, so probably Sefa - although I would prefer Matterson
Hopefully Junior will replace Terepo and not Tepai or Pauli
Not sure who Gower would replace if he is fit

French has played 1 game against men in his life, last week. He is NOWHERE near ready for first grade.

French is still 18 months away from being ready for first grade. He does look like Haynes long term replacement though.

Hmm Sandow plays Wenty then French gets called up to Wenty. Both had pretty solid games. Could be that BA working on combinations. Probably not. Lol

Train Sefa to be backup hooker, has skills and bigger body to tackle.

  absolutly agree with Glenn may as well use Seffa Paulo as a backup hooker, most likely his best position. You cant deny he tries hard but stifles the halfs at crucial times.Im a big fan of Bevan French but cant see the coaching staff bringing into first grade yet but Im really exited to see him when he does make first grade.
  
  And whats all the hate towards Chris Sandow he still has the X factor and its not his fault if the forwards arent giving him the room to weave his magic. I love watching the little guy play.
