As an Eels fan it will be interesting to see how Bevan goes with you guys. He was amazing to watch in 2016 and probably the quickest winger at the time. Last year though he became a bit of a liability due to his size and was rag dolled far too much and rarely made decent metres on kick returns. His confidence was clearly down, hence not seeing any first grade time this year (plus we have Ferguson and Sivo who are monsters). He’s been going well and scoring regularly for Wentworthville, so he might be on the up again. He prefers to play fullback, so will be interesting where he fits in. I don’t think he has the defensive game to play 6, but who knows in your formation. Anyways, I hope the move is successful for him as he has talent to burn.

Manfredi top 2 winger in the league when fit. I rank only makinson ahead of him.

As for French. Great to have him this year.

Down to our last 2 wingers so good cover there.

Cover Zak too.

Excited to see him play

so when is Manfredi potentially back in the squad and able to play first team???

I’d be very surprised if we don’t line up with something like this next year

Hardaker
Manfredi
Hankinson
Gildart
Burgess
French
Hastings
Burgess
Powell
Flower
Greenwood
Farrell
O’Loughlin

Clark
Bullock
Clubb
Leuluai

French will be in the halves with Hardaker staying at fullback and Manfredi/Burgess/Davies/Marshall on the wings, Bibby will be backup for centre/wing, french can cover wing/fullback and Tommy can slot back into the halves if needed

Won’t be this season but I’m assuming/hoping he will be ready for the start of next. You can’t rush an ACL injury and he’s now had one in each knee. Again, I would think the club will be assessing his condition on a regular basis with the provisio that he won’t be risked until he is 100% ready. If that means March, April or beyond sobeit.

hes now had 2 in each knee
