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

[Suitman]

lol at pj though.

 

[Avenger]

WOW just WOW, not PJ's alleged homosexuality but Bevan French!!!

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Great with a bit of space and can tackle for a smaller player. But very poor at rucking it out.

His pace when he eventually goes to fullback is going to cause oppositions some serious troubles in attack.

Good under the high ball too

No reason he can't stay on the wing for another year.

I agree, and our game plan shows how smart BA is !! How often does French ruck it out after a kick? Bugger all, so he doesn't get "rag dolled". Very smart footy from BA, playing to a players strengths.

French is on the wing to get experience and his freaky finishing ability.

He only had 6 or so runs tonight for 3 tries.

Can't wait for six weeks of pro bevan hysteria followed by a nine week campaign of "crucify bevan French"

Won't happen, as while the kid is light he can tackle and take the high ball

It won't have anything to do with what happens on the field

 

[hineyrulz]

He's a talent and can sniff out a try, another off season will do him the world of good.

Just seen some highlights Bevan French looks like he's only got one gear, just turbo l, nice wheels

Pretty much guaranteed at some point. One bad game is all it takes around here.

It would still be more interesting than your dribble.

Come on Korny. It's the French thread not the Foran plus GST or The Oliver Semi Twist one.

Is he talking about his nuts?

 

[Bigfella]

Who else in the comp would have been able to scored those three tries?

Roberts in its his best form? Semi maybe?

Not sure either would have scored the first one.

The way he scooped up that loose ball and kept himself inside the sideline was incredibly freaky.

On the run I was convinced he'd dropped it and then when they showed the replay and at the speed it all happened, it was amazing and so silky!

Yeah not many, great speed, great hands.

The swerve on Barba when he was off balance was freakish. Watching live I was sure he was gonna hit the ground.
He also pulled off another try saver as well.

The question is does he stay in the team, and if so at whose expense? We need Robson into the halves, and Taka is back next week. So either French drops out, or Gordon goes with Gutho to FB.
