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

[The EELiminator]

I'm sure it's no coincidence that the year we finished top four we had no debutantes while in the year we're struggling to avoid the spoon we've already had three.

at least the debutants are having a dig out there keep em coming i say

 

[Gronk]

Dear Bev. Watch Nathan Cleary.

 

[strider]

Gee gronk .... one might say you are riding him to death

 

[hineyrulz]

I hope poor Bev's Nut's are already being Hugged.

 

[Gronk]

Ha. Na I want Bev to stay and be the next immortal.

Get him on the jungle juice and throw in an injection of Nathan Hindmarsh DNA.

Took forever for Marata to get a run. Thats worked out ok.
Took forever for Reed to get a run.
Thats worked out ok.
Took forever for Salmon to get a run.
Fingers crossed but didnt look out of place last night.
Maybe BA might think "when you're on a good thing." Etc.
Maybe Greg Alphabet will replace Bev?

Easy as ABC.

I was O/S for the June 14 Parra V Bunnys game. Just watched the replay. How bad was our edge defence in that match. Absolutely terrible. Bev was fullback that night. Absolutely terrible. Pushing him to the wing certainly didnt help. Sorry Bev. Not sure what happened to you. You showed so much promise. Cant see us hanging on to him on what I've seen this year. Such a pity.

I just revisited post #1 of this thread........

For their own part, however, Parramatta are refusing to talk up this teenager who, weighing only 76kg, had never done weights before arriving at Eels HQ. Reminding you that, with a contract allowing him to begin a university degree and travel home every six weeks to see family, he is unlikely to even play NRL before 2015.

"In footballing terms, Bevan hasn't done anything yet,'' Eels coach Brad Arthur explains. "But certainly, away from the field, he's exactly the type of young man we want to build this club around".

Sounds like the hype has gone to his head.

if french is named to play the dragons i'll be very disappointed
his lack of effort means he should be dropped by rights it should have happened last week

Salmon to the wing I reckon. That sounds weird actually.

Why? Salmon belongs on the end of a line.

sink or swim?

No. If you are not going to start him at 3,4 or 6 then run him from the bench like last week. Wing is a specialized gig. Id rather Nathan Davis on the wing if you need one. Actually Hoff is back this week.

I agree. We don't need to put him in a position where he might get hooked.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I'm sure he'll take to a new position like a fish to water.

 

[emjaycee]

Apparently Gus nearly landed Salmon but yesterday afternoon he let him off the Hook.

 

[hineyrulz]

FFS!!

FFS!!

Fish Finger Salmon?
