Signing him could be a big mistake, he might mistake some of our first graders for mushrooms and eat them. 
And Seyfarth is worse
He is also about one third the cost on our cap and you have to take that in account as you can't have a team of 800k players

If the moon was made of cheese I'd fly up on my Jatz cracker rocket ship and eat it with a nice chianti.

Mate I work in a few places, Canberra included.
They aren’t doing it nearly as tough there as the rest of the country are.
Whilst the rest of the country receives natural disasters every other year, Canberra doesn’t. They had a firestorm years ago that affected one small section of it and as I understand it, human incompetence caused that more so than nature. As a result, you don’t pay through the nose there for building and contents insurances. In fact it’s the cheapest of all cities.
Property values are going off their heads there. Canberran house price medians are the second highest in the country.
Crime rates are low. Like really low.
Salaries and wages are high. Per capita, the best outside of WA and it’s mining.
It’s full of culture. National Museum, National Library, National Gallery, National Zoo and Aquarium, Australian War Memorial, Australian Defence Force Academy, Australian National University, Royal Australian Mint, High Court of Australia, Australian Institute of Sport, Parliament House, Old Parliament House, National Carillion…
It is well set out and easy to navigate. You can pretty much get anywhere from anywhere in less than 40 minutes.
Access to the South Coast is 2 hrs
Access to the Ski Fields is 2 hrs
Access to National Parks is less than an hour
Access to Lakes and Rivers is an easy day trip.
They have an NRL team, a Super Rugby team, an NBL team, an ABL team, an AIHL team, an A-League Women’s Soccer team, AFL is played there live quite regularly, Big Bash Cricket and International ODIs are played there regularly.
There are lots of festivals - food, culture, music
The weather isn’t great in Winter and Summer can be very hot but Spring and Autumn are great.
It’s no shithole.
Those blokes paid them to play elsewhere....
Ahhh. My mistake. Whoever was on the wing was a flyer.
Now your thinking... Give our players magic mushrooms and have them run out...Signing him could be a big mistake, he might mistake some of our first graders for mushrooms and eat them.
Wait, that explains too much about our current performance. Slow to move, not sure who is in charge... we might need to swap the J for M's.
I was curious, does the ESL play on a 100yard length field or a 100m length field?

Bloke at work reckons Tigers are keen on Bevan French as a possible Tupou replacement. The belief is they also see him as a backup FB and better option than Staines as Bula's 2IC.

Wouldn't be many smaller wingers in the comp if that's the case. Maybe Benji sees Daniel Fitzhenry in him lol

Is that his opinion or does he has connections to the WT inner sanctum?
It is highly unlikely Bevan French will come back to the NRL ti play anywhere other than 5/8 or fullback.

Works in Sports Media Sales and has various connections within the industry. He's been a Tigers member for over 20yrs and has reasonably close connections within the club. Stopped short of naming a specific source due to not wanting to potentially get that person in troubs. He's also not the sort of bloke to mention anything he didn't believe carried some weight.

If he wants to get back into the NRL it's unlikely he'll do so in either position unless a club is pretty desperate. Handy winger, doesn't offer much elsewhere.

Could he become the modern-day Craig Wing off the bench for a club?
Doubt he has ever played dummy half but before last season I don't think he had played in the halves. Would be a great impact player if his defence in a middle position is reasonable.
GAH, no.
Just no. Can we just stop with this stuff.
Hey lets go and find a player with weaknesses and issues in their game and bring them to the tigers.
Who on earth is watching us going "hey lets get a weak defender who is playing in EPL and sign them here?"...
Bevan French is a Moneyball kinda pick, "hey come play in Australia for a min value contract."
Pat Richards worked, because he was quality and a larger player who could tackle. Bevan French is a NRL hasbeen.
No signings till we see our current team play together for 3 months. lets see where our weaknesses are and what Marshall can coach out. I think we still need a solid back, but lets see what we have.
