IS BEVAN FRENCH SUFFERING SECOND YEAR SYNDROME

Posted by Kerry George on June 3, 2017 at 5:56pm

Bevan is playing just OK. Nothing like last year when he was dynamic but mostly on the wing.

i feel eventually Bevan will be a good fullback, but at the moment I feel he should relocate to the wing to get his mojo back where he can use his speed.

Only 2 weeks back from a serious knee injury.

  Settle down outrunna people don't like look at things that like that. Players are only as good as their last game and no intelligent discussions or reasons will change their mind.

No, he's still recovering from the knee.

I think he'll improve with each game back.

  Agree Chiefy - knees take time.
  
  Plus he has been very solid without being spectacular. The tries will come in due course.

  Agreed chief. The kids young and has had a tough knee injury....he also did v well last night. Watching live u see how fast he is over the ground. If this is the argument, you could say the same for Nathan Cleary....

French has not got the right build for the wing. Yes he did a lot of flash last year but he also got out jumped many times.
Since he's back, he is improving every week and once his confidence returns French will be dynamic again

He provides something different. It's such a luxury to have a guy of his pace and creativity out the back. Keep him where he is, we're evolving towards an incredibly exciting well-balanced spine. #bevmitchnormsguth4spine

I personally think French should move back to the wing or spend some more time in Wenty until he's recovered fully from his injury. He doesn't appear to be the same as last year, why I don't know but the injury certainly has taken some toll on him and he appears to be playing with more caution.
