Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[hineyrulz]

Why is this thread still alive? BA is gone. He’s moved on. We are not onto our second coach post-BA, surely a thread asking if we want him to be coach can be locked down?

The huggers can’t stop cupping.

Can't agree on that either. Spine players in the NRL earn huge coin.

Which NRL clubs chased him ?

Phil Rothfield says nothing but gibber there.

Phil Rothfield says nothing but gibber there.

He says he was close to signing with Newcastle...

There is simply no chance that no nrl club has enquired and targeted to sign the best player in the entire esl competition....it simply does not make sense.

He's way too expensive now Gronky since he's found his game. The NRL is full of outstanding 5/8s and fullbacks that probably cost less than Bev would be on.
The one element Bev provides is speed and unfortunately our previous coach didn't value it until it was too late.
Is Preston Campbell and Trey Fuller any better than Bevan French and he apparently chased both of those albeit too late.

"The Panthers have dominated the competition for over four years now and appear to have done so without the need for speed, and that’s even more evident now that both Charlie Staines and Crichton have left the club.

Dylan Edwards, Daine Laurie and Izack Tago are among the quickest of them, without setting the world on fire."

Speed isn't as important as plenty of other characteristics. I'd say power is still more important than speed for outside backs. Look at Sivo. He's scored more tries than Khan-Pereira since the latter debuted in the NRL. As important as speed is in open space, most runs still involve a collision rather than streaking away untouched.

If French played NRL (at fullback) he would no doubt have his moments in attack, especially if he was playing for a strong team. But he would get manhandled on plenty of runs as well. Would he dig into the line and take the hit when the pass wasn't on? If he played at 6 he would miss so many tackles he'd be a genuine liability. This is why he's in the UK.

All sixteen clubs let him go, not just Parra.

Check that link. Leeds put 30 past Wigan a few weeks ago in a game that was worth as many competition points as this most recent one. Wigan are estimated to be the Super League's top spenders, which is why they're coming first.

What does Jack Welsby have to do with Bevan French?

 

[Gary Gutful]

Jai Field and Bevan French have both absolutely killed it in Super League.

Can we stop pretending that this translates to elite ability in the NRL ?

The last two winners of their Man of Steel (Dally M Gold) awards were Brodie Croft and French FFS.

I don’t mind watching it. It can be entertaining. But, yeah it is not the same standard.
