why are we forgetting how good french is

is everyone forgetting how good french is out the back everyone seems to be doing the same. gutho is great back there but french is excellent only back there he is  decent on the wing but gutho is great everywhere thats why we should put french there and play gutho out of position cos nowhere in the backline is he out of position and french will be a superstar according to all commentators and maybe same to gutho but i think he will be one out of his pure work ethic and utility french will be one for his talent and freakish evasivness and one day soon his ball playing ability french is a freak and gutho is a workhorse gutho is my favourite player right now but i have no doubt french is our long term fullback and is the best in our team for that position  but gutho in most other teams would snatch up the fullback position but lets be happy this is the conundrum not what if hayne is injured what do we do we can’t do anything fuck please don’t get injured hayne please

  • You haven't compared French's defense with Gutho's.
    • Yeah how good was guthos D on the line last night!!!
    • Compare french on the wing vs guth on the wing while ur at it. Which is the reason people wanted guth at fb for his defence and attack and french can score amillion tries at wing gutho just isnt a winger
    • French is better defensively for kicks in his positioning behind the line.. Gutho been lucky that penrith and cowboys had very poor possession rates, field position and kicking games past few weeks so hasn't been exposed as he has in other games at the back.
    • Gutherson is one of the best defenders in our team. He needs to be up in the line making 20 tackles per game, not hiding at the back. French is better defending kicks.
    • Chief.. thats why french can not be on the wing.
    • Pau, Gutherson is up in the line when we are at our most vulnerable point - goal line defence. He pushes up like an extra forward - French can't do that at the back.

      Not until he fills out.
  • Best case scenrio out a set of tough circumstances is if we lose Semi to the court case and have Bevan take Semis spot on the wing.

    We need to start preparing for life without Semi since he is gone next year and all this talk about dropping Hoffman is nonsense. Hoffman has been one of our best

    Not sure weather its coincidence or not but ever since Kirisome Auvaa has come in to the side the holes in our right side defence have closed up and we look like the 2016 defence again.
    If i were BA i wouldnt be changing that as it may put uncertainty back into the minds of the boys again.
    Stick with whats working.
    Takarangi will get another shot in the centers if and when its viable but as for right now BA would be silly to mess with whats working.

    I think the boys really find confidence in Kirisome. His mascular hulking build and his aggression inspires the boys out on that edge, and thats what we need.

    Takarangis combo with Hoffman has been non existant so far this year. We need to stick with Auvaa for now at least until such time that Auvaa proves to be less effective than we need him to be and right now he hasnt done that. Things are going good. Dont fix something thats not broken

    1. Gutho
    2. French
    3. Jennings
    4. Auvaa
    5. Hoffman

    French needs another off season of passing and kicking drills out of fullback before he can seriously be considered at fullback over Gutho. Atm he is just a finisher and that is his best role for us at this point in time. He is pronably our long term fullback tho.
    So long as he doesnt become a Luke Burt and get dragged back 10meters on ever kick return for being too light.
    Burt was a far better winger than he ever was a fullback and thats what worries me about french and his tiny sparrow frame. But so far it hasnt been an issue. But is that just because opposition teams just havent targeted him yet on kick returns. Time will tell
  • Hard read. Only one full stop. C'mon bro. Let's get this lazy stuff out of the team.
    • yeah fair enough i dont really think about punctuation in when im trying to put my opinions down i just try and get it out before i lose how i was going to say something
