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

[Gronk]

French is a conundrum. Can’t hit the ball up like a traditional NRL winger. Can’t help the fowards early in the set. Is not making any line breaks.

IMO he is not the same player since his knee injury in April 2017.

 

[Twizzle]

or maybe he just aint a winger

 

[Happy MEel]

or maybe he just aint a winger

...and we have a better fullback in the team - two of them actually.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Maybe he's in the team for his defence.

 

[Sean7]

I think he has generally played his best football on the wing.

 

[Chipmunk]

If he's manager is not currently speaking to UK Super League clubs then he is not looking after the best interests of his client.

He is a good player in a decent team that is going well and diabolical in a team that isn't.

What is the conundrum? It's pretty obvious he offers nothing. He needs to go to Wenty.

French should go to a better team... He is a good player being held back by this shitty team...

Melbourne would suit him

Melbourne? He'd be in QLD cup (where he belongs) because he is not taking Slater, Ado-Carr or Vunivalu's spot

 

[Gronk]

Talking about Addo Carr, he is 6’0” and 85kgs.

French is 5’11” and 83 kgs.

JAC has no problem playing the modern winger role early in the set.

so what.....................Bevan certainly does for what ever reason

Ado-Carr is 183cm and 88kg

Slater won't play past this season..

French isn't a shit player could be a star but he is playing for the Eels... we have alot of good individual players but lack the 9,6,7 to lead the team..

 

[JokerEel]

On French taking 1 run why isnt.the coach or a leader on the field getting in his ear telling him to take a Run?

He should be trying to get involved bit if he isn't someone should be telling him to..

He also should have started at Wenty this week.

 

[Joely01]

Last year he played well as wing because we could rely on Semi and Gutho to get our sets started!

Now this year we have really had anyone that’s been getting our sets started so shows how weak he is at doing this!

He really did nothing last night though, probably caught a cold and is out for this week

His not a fullback either, Gutherson is much better at the back.

His got so much raw talent but he really isn't kicking on and last night he shitted me severely, he looked like he did not even wanna be there and that is a huge problem in itself, on top of his size and everything else.

He certainly has the yips. He needs to score a swag of tries in reggies and learn how to hit it up without getting rag dolled. Slater is the master class of how to hit holes and find the ground before he can get dragged.

His hit ups are his biggest issue, he really needs to work on it.
I don't know how to solve his problems because honestly it's his size, that is the root of all his issues for me.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I wonder if he had the shits cos Gutho came straight back in to fullback.

Gutho is good because he had Stewart teaching him at Manly.. French has no one we really are a rudderless team..
