gotta admit, this kid runs like a steel trap and he hangs onto those marks like a gazelle, with steel traps for hooves and human arms for forelegs except they are still as skinny as a gazelles forelegs I spose, skinnier even
Lots of people name their swords......

They reckon he's put on a few kegs, but I dunno. A couple times I swear he disappeared when he turned sideways to the camera.

While I don't dispute that McBean needs to put on a few kilos, I just want to utter the words.......................Dustin Fletcher says hello.

I agree Smokey. I've seen him live twice now and his pace and agility are assets that should not and need not be sacrificed for bulk. He is a Westoff type player with more upside IMO. Let Vickery bulk up and keep Mc Bean....lean........

If he runs like a gazelle maybe we could stick the 224cm beanpole onto a wing.

If he runs like a gazelle maybe we could get David Attenborough to commentate.

Im surprised they are saying he's near ready.  He's not big enough to do the rough physical work of a Cloke or Brown.  Doesn't mean he wont make it but we need Vickery above him to do some physical muscle work, maybe in a few years and 20 Kg but I doubt he'll ever add that much.  I hope he does though.  Maybe he will replace McGuane.

Regardless of his height mcbean plays as a pocket or forward flank.

His weapons are skill smarts agility

 Doesn't need weight

Would play him 3rd forward  ahead of Edwards/mcgaune.

Would be ideal foil to jack / tyrone

Yes, yes and yes. After today I'd drop Edwards for him...Aaron is just not up to it.

Would play him ahead of Tyrone if he was built enough to chop out Maric in the ruck.

Til then, as defensively well as Edwards played today,  I'd drop him for the great bean flicker

agree he doesn't necessarily need lots of weight, but needs muscle tone.
Think of blokes like fletcher and silvagni. not big heavy blokes, but wirey and don't break easily. even justin madden was pretty durable without being a hulk.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
