Huge wrap on Parramatta Eels' 17-year-old Bevan French

[parra pete]

I heard the reason you couldn't hear a pun drop was that the mc had put everyone to sleep?

Actually I dropped ten puns hoping to get a laugh. No pun in ten did...

"Hey kids, make sure you stay in school because you might be a professional athlete one day!"

...

"What was that? What do you do if you don't make it in sports? You're asking the wrong bloke."

#inspirational

What a stupid comment.

The last person who should be inspiring a bunch of poor kids is some bloke who made his living playing a game.

He inspired me to do a backflip once.

Exactly. What sort of moron takes advice from a boofheaded footballer.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Unfortunately in those communities that's often the best role model they've got.

What I want to know is, where are these indigenous business owners and lawyers and stuff we keep hearing about? Shouldn't they be going to these places and inspiring the kids? Why doesn't Pat O'Shane go out and fire them up?

I think that would make him a witch, wouldn't it?

Probably have to burn him.

I don't get this one, Bazza. Please explain:?

Monty Python's Holy Grail. If the accused weighs the same as a duck (Bevan in this case), she is a witch and must be burned at the stake.

Thanks mate.

This article puts massive pressure on this young bloke. I'd say they will possibly use him in SG ball this year and 2015. The problem for this year is he has the 2012 U16s NSW fullback and the half from the last two premiership winning HM sides to displaced to play Ball this year.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I don't think he's eligible for SG Ball in 2015.

I believe he is only 17 this year; could be wrong.

SG Ball halves/fullback 2014:

Dargan
Doolan
French
Khoury
Layoun
Vidal

Vidal has been listed in the NYC squad, and I believe French has been training with them.

Plenty out there voted for Steve Sharp, Ray Price and the Grothes..

He just finished high school, meaning he would have been at least 17 last year (2013). He's 18 this year (2014). That's why the article in question (written in 2013) says he is 17.

Trust me; I'm an analyst.

Khoury and Dargan plus Doolan were the ones I was referring too.

Just, some massive pressure on a boy who has being playing country football.

Ok, I'll believe you. You are definitely ANAL.

Missed you at the Woolpack.;-)

I was scared I might get flogged up so I stayed at home.
