Bevan French tipped to have signed
Announcement November 1
I thought you couldn't sign players from other clubs till after Nov in the last year of their contract, unless released by that club.

In other words we'd have to sign him after Nov 1st?!?

Or did the NRL change that?

I think the rumours are about him joining us for the upcoming season which would indicate a release from Parra, I hope they are at least paying half of his contract for 2019.
This is a strange signing as we need a centre not a small fullback/winger.

We need a FB more than anything.. we have needed one since 2013.

Big call.

He is too small, I have seen him get man handled in defence, he really needs to bulk up or work on his technique.

I have also seen him in real life. Incredibly small frame.

But, he is quick. And I mean unbelievably quick. Could be what we need to finish off plays or sniff around for offloads. He has played enough fullback I think to have developed the know how and instinct..so think of him as mbye’s Speed + better game awareness for cheaper.

If parra release then I’m pretty sure nov 1 is ok.
I don’t want French at the club anyway
He wants to play fb and fb only

That's surprising considering they already have 3 hookers on their books.
Yeah true that, he would of been better staying here at least he would of gotten a chance to debut next season.
Thought Woolford was going to England?

Slade Griffin - Injured and may miss 2019 altogether if he isn't forced to retire.
Danny Levi - Not wanted.
Jamie Buhrer - Stopgap.
Tom Starling - Released to Magpies NSW Cup.
Connor Watson - Stopgap.

Always got the info.. nice.

Surprised Brown don't want Levi considering he didn't want to release him last season and they also had big wraps on Starling... Oh well, Knights need a hooker.

Needs another year in reserves so it might work out for them.

I still think it was a mistake letting him go.
Plenty of better hookers around if we are willing to wait. I'm personally still waiting to see how Lichaa performs around 2 genuine halves.

Agree, but this should be his last shot. If he hasn't come good by now, he will never come good.
