They have Cleary, Luai, Leniu, Crichtion, Staines, Naden, Edwards ect. are all juniors and most of these players were key to them making the grand final this year. Something that hasn't happened for us since 09
I love French '16 and '17 he was electric. I think people forget he did his hamstring at the end of 2017 about the same time we lost Gutho,both of them were hot heading into the finals and they were equally huge blows.Then did his shoulder a few games into 2018 was put into fullback but we were so bad as a team and I think he was out of sorts due to injury and copped a lot of flack because we needed excuses and he never recovered for us.Probably should have left him on the wing although he insisted he wanted fullback so I guess we were right to not resign him.Good player though,hope he makes it back to the NRL and kills it.
Good account of French's injury history with us Eggman. Makes you think are we putting you players into first grade too soon before their bodies have fully matured. Eg Dylan Brown and his injuries. Is he headed in the same direction?
He also demanded the fullback position as his, then didn't perform. That was his swan song when it comes to BA's preferences. He's electric, but slightly inconsistent and probably wasn't covered enough by the bigger boys.

Then we get the sook brigade crying why other teams can get this player…"
"Muttman bought up Matt Cameron as an ex Parra guy brought through under Brian Smith as a key hire for me before they worry about FG they need to fix the layers underneath.
This in my eyes is the key hire and give him the tools to succeed.After the…"

He's training with the NRL squad - if he's the goods MJs spot is open. Exciting prospect, good step with speed.

Do you remember this guy?
You got any footage of him being ragdolled into touch?
Many players have been ragdolled without comment.Why is French always targetted with this

I love the way players are now prepared to destroy their own careers by demanding a certain position or they will have a dummy spit.
JAC being the most notable recently.
Is Penisiini ragdoll proof?
