O... Ok.
Feels a little redundant with Sam Williams on the books. I assume this would be a mounties contract?

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
Given there are 29 on the books, you’d think so.

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
Who is better? Williams or Frawley?
Frawley was actually ok for Dogs a couple of yrs ago. No clue how he went in ESL.
We already know Williams is ok.
So, bet on Frawley's youth?

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
It'd be good to have 2 established halves at Mounties
They struggled hard when Williams was out

He has been given a development contract. So he will still be here another yr.

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
That would be a confusing signing. With Sam and Hingano already on the books, and Donny saying our recruitment is done. Do we really need more halves depth?
I guess it'd only be min wage. We're not really lacking for depth anywhere really.

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
I suppose the Q is, is he better than what we have?
Right now, I think he is better than Hingano.
Sammy, probably not, BUT, is 4-5yrs his junior.
Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
Is he better than Craig Frawley?

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
He's not better than Williams. Well, I wouldn't pick him over Williams. If your criteria is simply who is the better defender for 1 game he might get picked. But if we're looking at someone to come in to play a proper role it'd be Williams every day.
Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
would Matt Elliott play him in the backrow?

Competition for spots across the board, can’t be a bad thing. How times have changed...

Back in those days the article would include a quote from Matt Elliott bemoaning how hard it is to recruit quality players to Canberra and then some Bull about cattle.

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
Yep. I guess the club learned a valuable lesson about hiring a coach who actually believed in the place from that era. That's not the only ingredient needed, clearly, but I do remember that idiot paying overs for the likes of Tyran Smith as the only "big name" players he could attract.Seiffert82 wrote: ↑December 9, 2019, 6:06 pmBack in those days the article would include a quote from Matt Elliott bemoaning how hard it is to recruit quality players to Canberra and then some Bull about cattle.

And a 85 year old Jason Smith, still smoking 2 packs a day.
At least he was excellent for us in the 2 years he was here

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
Yeah, it's not like Stuart is signing superstars to Canberra either. He is taking punts on Pommies, young kids like Tapine, Horsburgh, Simonsson etc and diamonds in the rough like Leilua, Rapana, CNK, Austin, Taylor and Oldfield - but at no stage has he talked about how hard it is to get quality players here.
I'm sure everyone remembers the early days when the likes of Tedesco backflipped, Mansour considered us and stayed with Penrith and Proctor changed his mind - but even then, Stuart didn't blame the City itself. The club just changed tac with its recruiting strategy.
It has been a really exciting thing to watch.

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
Ive got a couple of dogs fans in my team. I was trying to gauge whether he could tackle. Incredibly they couldnt remember him which probably says plenty. If he can tackle i reckon there is a good chance we could see him in first grade ahead of s willi. l.. id have preferred a good junior, but there isnt a whole lot to dislike about this
Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly interested in signing Matt Frawley
Frawley is a good step below NRL level. I’m surprised people thought he was good at the Dogs.FROG wrote:Ive got a couple of dogs fans in my team. I was trying to gauge whether he could tackle.
