From what I have seen, yes he does, but he is more of a 6 than a 7 so we still need a 7 and myler is not the answer. Stats worth looking at are on the rugby league project website for frawley though.
People stating Saints replaced Lussick for Mbye was amazing. Mbye is a far worse signing in any position compared to frawley at 6.
People saying club needs a revamp etc etc, maybe that's what Smith is working towards.

He was rubbish at Huddersfield…..they replaced him after a season….with Sezer

Doesn’t a club revamp start with getting rid of players who don’t want to be here?

That takes longer than a year.

You keep mention Cheerleaders, Tad. You are clearly at the other end of the spectrum. When I see a chap wearing an "end of the world is nigh" sandwichboard outside the gates I'll know it's you.

I am not bothered who we sign or don’t sign, not interested in someone s highlight real or how they played for someone else, i am only interested in players who want to play for us are committed and are comping here to get stuck in and real go. We have signed plenty of good reputation and highlight real players recently who have been utter gash injured allot not interested until contract negotiation time or just don’t want to be here.

If we sign players who are just signing until they get a better offer or just because they want a wage then they can jog on.
Rather gave a lesser player giving 110%

If Frawley ticks the former then lets see how he goes.

Theres a balance to be had though between the quality of skills a player possesses, and the desire to give everything to the cause. Ie, no we wouldn't be a better team 'if only we had 17 James Donaldsons'.

Fair enough. I don't have the time to watch a lot of NRL these days, so I don't claim to be any sort of expert. On the evidence of one game he looked solid, but no more, to me. I'll also add that Stuart wouldn't have moved Wighton to the centres and Frawley to the halves if he thought the latter was a total duffer. We'll likely get a chance to see Miller and Frawley in opposition at the weekend and that will be worth tuning in to. I might have changed my mind by next Monday.

Was just about to say the same. We have signed a lot of ‘big name’ overseas players from both SL and NRL recently that haven’t panned out and ultimately have been expensive and in some cases difficult to move on from.

You also can’t judge players entirely off one season years ago at Huddersfield, Drew Hutchinson wasn’t exactly great at Leigh but he plays regularly for the Roosters.

Ultimately would I have liked to have aimed higher, yes, do I think it will be an absolute disaster if he signs, no, not if we get the rest of the OQ players right.

So the club apparently have had no word at all from MacDonald? I'm all for understanding circumstances but that's really poor and not expected from him.

I suppose it all depends on what has happened back home, until we know that I think it’s unfair to judge either the club or player.

Im sure we’ll find out at somepoint but it seems really out of character for Nene to do awol.

and quite possibly untrue. If true would Cam smith have said what be supposedly did?

we've no idea what has gone on with Leeming, Walters, Austin and Nene.

i dont believe the latest Austin line of widdop rang me up so i thought yes I'd love to play for Cas for 5 games, after demeaning Cas in the podcast.
