Been giving some more thought to French and where he fits. What chance he tanked last week because he didn't get his FB spot?

If he did he can piss off to wherever tonight for all I care.

Well I already had a handbags at dawn thing with Bazal over this exact question. I wouldn't have thought he was the type but being repeatedly overlooked can get to anyone. And being in bad form can put you on the defensive as well. I think Noise put forward a more likely explanation in that he wasn't exactly sure of his role.

If he did tank it I would change my earlier view about him being the future of the club and shop him around now.

I don't think he's the future of the club anyway. Too marginal a player for that. But he could still have a future at the club. I wouldn't be writing someone off on one game, particularly given we're on the outside looking in.

Yeah I also got verbaled by Basil for suggesting same. In retrospect I cant see the Kid doing that. I recall Tepai playing through his shoulder problem 2 years ago. BA dosent appear to have too much sympathy for injurys. Maybe Bev felt pressure to return early. He did nothing in the match and now hes out for 2 more weeks so he must not be ready or like some others, simply cant play with injury.

Its a big accusation to make against a player but when it is made by people who don't usually make outrageous comments about players I take notice. Obviously Baz didn't see it that way....

French is definitely a shadow of the player he was and something is very wrong. Lets hope its just the injury and he can get back to what we know he is capable of.

I couldn't see French doing it either. However...
