Matt Frawley could play half back tonight

[Dogna88]

This feels like sarcasm...?

No. Honest shock. I havnt looked at those stats this year

Obviously things will shift and he'll likely drop down the pecking order but decent signs so far

 

[El_Magic]

Lichaa proves you do...

 

[CaptainJackson]

I'm guessing everyone has forgotten that in the 2014 grand final mbye passed to our forwards on the last tackle on numerous occassions

 

[Calibra]

I have played hooker all my life... i know the ins and outs....

Lichaa is rubbish. We need quicker and crisper service which he cant provide. We need acceleration more then speed which he cant provide.

Mbye has played in the 9 at NRL level. He hasnt played fb.

Im not saying he cant play fb. BUT can you imagine the kennel if he plays fullback and doesnt get it right straight away... it will take a good 5 to 10 rounds for him to settle in there

Mate at work who played for Bulldogs reserves in the late 90's early 00's - said the exact same thing

 

[BELMORE]

Me either but I think it will be RFM missing out. Des had him playing NSW Cup last weekend. Frawley on the bench makes no sense he's no impact player.

I think he might of only played NSW cup because he played about 5 minutes against the Broncos and the NSW cup was after first grade

 

[Horny Wog]

I get the feeling it will be
6.reynolds
7.mbye
9.lichaa
14.frawley

Des will take off Lichaa, Mbye to 9, frawley to 7

 

[Mitch Connor]

I get the feeling it will be
6.reynolds
7.mbye
9.lichaa
14.frawley

Des will take off Lichaa, Mbye to 9, frawley to 7

Yeah that's the tweet going around

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Confirmed team lists out at 5..

 

[ILiveForDib]

I get the feeling it will be
6.reynolds
7.mbye
9.lichaa
14.frawley

Des will take off Lichaa, Mbye to 9, frawley to 7

That is the most retarded( yep ) thing I have ever seen in my life. Frawley is definetely not a impact player and should be starting halfback

 

[Spoonman84]

I get the feeling it will be
6.reynolds
7.mbye
9.lichaa
14.frawley

Des will take off Lichaa, Mbye to 9, frawley to 7

Bet Frawley gets 5 mins at the end...

 

[COVENS]

Bet Frawley gets 5 mins at the end...

Subbed on for Klemmer

 

[speedy2460]

Mbye should be on the bench with Frawley starting. Mbye can cover all the backline positions as well as hooker. Frawley cant.

 

[Wolfmother]

Mbye will play outstanding tonight because he has to and he's capable but his problem is his work ethic . He's the type of person who only puts in minimal effort .

Interestingly enough Lichaa is ranked:
- 3rd (397) in total minutes
- 4th (212) in total tackles
- 4th (7) in least missed tackles
- 5th (30.28) in tackle efficiency
- 5th (24) in total runs
- 5th (243) in total run meters
- 6th (10.12) in meters per run
- 1st (0) in least penalties
- 1st (0) in least errors

and

- Equal last in tries (0) with Levi, Hampton, Friend, Smith, Cook, Simpkins, Hodgson, McIlwrick and Segeyaro
- Equal last in assists (0) with Pritchard, Levi, Hampton, Friend, Cook, McCullough, Wallace, McIlwrick, Brailey and Segeyaro

Doesn't tell the whole story, but he's far from the worst hooker in the game.

Edit: Based on the 20 hookers who have played this year, stats taken from NRL.com and not verified through other sources

Lichaa is strong defensively.. if can sign him under 250K not a bad deal

 

[bringitontm]

Frawley is in on the bench

 

[Moedogg]

Frawley is in on the bench

Who is he replacing?

 

[Horny Wog]

Yeah that's the tweet going around

and let the musical chairs begin once again.

Retarded you say?

Dont complain to me, complain to the retarded coach
