A ‘bulb’ that needs ‘replacing’.

It’s a trap Barry. Don’t fall for it.

Come and replace a socket in my Master Bedroom instead...

Unsure why you wouldn't give your best player his best position. Would be quite stupid.

You would say that. You’ve already determined that he isn’t versatile.

By the way Gary you left your beer in the bedroom, sockets done.

He's definitely versatile.
But I think the only two positions he can play regularly at a FG level are fullback and centre.
We've seen that he's not the best winger in the world, but you could put him there in a pinch if needed. Plus he is a decent backup half, but you wouldn't want him in there for more than a few games, I think.

His best position is fullback, no doubt. I think that's his position to lose, and don't see Bevan getting back there unless injury his again.

Becks Gary???? Really??? FFS!!!

How clean is your dunny?

I'm a bit scared of heights.

Well, it's one of those environmentally friendly non-flush types. I'm sure it meets OH&S standards even allowing for that curry I had last night.

I find it's getting boring that fans giving their opinions on a footy fan site are labelled whinging merkins. That's tired old rhetoric. The very fact that BA is now on the look out for some big props could be seen as evidence that some of us 'whingers' are fairly astute judges of football.

He's always been on the lookout .... nothing has changed

I don’t want to know what you entered into google to come up with that...

Yeah. There seems to be a narrative that has cropped up lately that he only just realised he needs a some big boppers

Not true in the slightest.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

So if he doesn't get one soon we can push him off.

Ive turned a 3 speed vibtrator into a jackhammer.
And turned an electric toothbrush into a 3 speed vibtrator

There isn't a girl aged over 16 living west of Strathfield that hasn't turned an electric toothbrush into a vibrator... that ain't so hard.

 

[T.S Quint]

Wait...you can turn an electric toothbrush into a vibrator?

I'll be right back.

Gus comes to mind.

 

[emjaycee]

Yeah, I agree with that.
There's only so much time you can carry a project players in a salary cap League.
I like French. He has done some amazing things, but when it comes down to it is he going to help us win a Premiership?

I am a French fan and when I started this discussion about offloading him, I was doing so a bit tongue-in-cheek but at least it started some interesting discussions. I would only really to look to off-load him for disciplinary reasons at this stage of his career and our team make-up.

Personally, I am of the belief you pick your best 17 players and find a spot for them each week, although it is probably more that you pick your best 23 players and keep them as long as you can, so you can pick your best 17 from the 23 each week.

To my way of thinking, French would be in the best 23 at most clubs, simply on his raw ability, instinct/anticipation and his speed. These are not things that can be trained into a player and all the good and great coaches look for and keep players who are "football players". Gutho is one of these and so is French. Sure his size goes against him in our current lineup and the fact there is a subjectively better fullback in front of him also doesn't help his cause.

Lingard suggested French would be better suited to a club like Melbourne or the Roosters with a good half, five-eighth, hooker, and a well-balanced set of forwards. I don't disagree, but is it French's fault Parra doesn't have these? We have a good half, a good five-eighth and some good forwards and BA is well aware we need to find a better hooker and improve our forward stocks. If we did this, then wouldn't Parra become that place for French and wouldn't he be a great fullback?

I said it last week and I will say it again, I reckon Gutherson can make a go of any position from 1-7 he is that talented. Pick your best 17 and fit them in somewhere.

TLDR: Keep both French and Gutho and make it work.

I'm back.

I'd call my mission a success...however the missus wasn't too happy that I used her toothbrush.

Did she offer to let you "floss"?

I don’t reckon that came from googling

Exactly. So those harping on about it were right, weren't they? Whereas certain devil's advocates were way off the mark.
