Frawley needs to stay halfback for the rest of the year

[Indiandog]

I think we have found our halfback for season 2017. Don't fuck it up Hasler. Frawley deserves to retain the 7 .

2017 brah. lol

 

[Mitch Connor]

Fantastic debut.

 

[Raysie]

Reynolds all of a sudden was able to play his usual 5/8 style thanks to Frawley.

What I saw tonight from the Bulldogs is the most traditional we've looked in the 1, 6, 7 and 9 positions.

You'd have to have balls as a coach to change this winning combination.

 

[obje]

And calmness

Yeah noticed that. Compared with a Reynolds who just skulled a bottle of red cordial and needs to take a piss badly.

 

[Ahecee]

He looks like a actual #7, first game and he had no problems actually directing other players and looking to get things going.......... I haven't seen that at the Bulldogs in many years.

I'd like to see him get another run and see how that holds up.

Really liked Frawley game tonight and I thought he allowed Reynolds to play a blinder. Yeah I am struggling to see where Mybe fits in now tbh. I really like Abbey at fullback he adds a dimension in attackthat we have missed (still needs to improve in defence but that will come with experience). Maybe we need to play Mybe at hooker and interchange him with Liccha

 

[CrittaMagic69]

He played well but can we keep in mind those kicks were holding up in the puddles.

Most impressive thing for me was the talk and organising.

Yh thats why i said i want to see him in dry conditions to see how he goes...he certainly stepped it up compared to his recent ISP form.

Amazing how good Reynolds plays with a proper halfback

 

[blueyedsamurai]

His in goal kicks won the game, its been years since I've seen one of our halfs do that.

 

[Flat Earther]

Mbye and Reynolds are both 5/8s. One of them can start on the bench instead of wasting a bench spot like Des does now.

 

[top-dog]

Frawley was the difference he sparked the team around the park.

 

[UmoGus]

Even if his kicks only held up because of the conditions, Atleast he finds fucking grass

 

[Hacky McAxe]

He needs to stay. It's amazing how our players lift when they have a real halfback.

I hate to say "I told you so", but when everyone was ragging on Reynolds and myself and several others said that he would be great if he had a real halfback, well there's your proof. Crossed the line 5 times tonight. Unfortunate that he only got the 1 try but he crossed the line 5 times thanks to a good halfback.

And it wasn't just Reynolds. Graham kicked it into another gear. It was like he had a new lease on life. And Abbey even played well when he had a real halfback to follow around. It took some developing but by the end of the game we looked like an unbeatable side, all thanks to having a real halfback in the game.

 

[doggieaaron]

Another example of how much of a dumb stubborn **** des is ,players like this only get picked by des when there's an injury

 

[Doggone1975]

I hope des hasler has a good hard think before changing this side

 

[FattyMcLarge]

It looked a like a shifty kicking game. Loved it

 

[Hacky McAxe]

A friend and I were talking about it tonight and the general consensus is that Hasler is stubborn. Chatted with a trainer who said the same thing. He said that Hasler is so stubborn that he'll never admit when he makes a mistake, and that's why T-Rex was there for so many years. But at the start of the year Dib said that everyone is accountable. Anyone who doesn't perform gets cut. Frawley has proven that he is the halfback we need. If Mbye is halfback next week then I'm not going to suggest that we sack Des. I have another idea.

We invent a time machine. Travel back in time and stop Hasler from ever being born. If Frawley is halfback next week (and possibly Mbye hooker off the bench) then all is good in the world. If not, remove Des from the timeline.

 

[wigum]

What a debut!!! Was incredibly refreshing to watch. F*** YEAH!!

 

[Royy]

What a great debut! It was refreshing having a halfback who can kick and organise. Unfortunately I think he'll be dropped back to reserve grade with Mbye returning, I'd like to see Frawley stay at halfback and find a new position for Mbye moving forward.

 

[Sauce Head]

I just liked the fact he got an opportunity tonight and 100% made the most of it. He was a huge factor in winning the game.
Good on him.

I like this post, but at the end of the day, if he plays next week and does not do well, all you fckers will just carve him up on this forum next week. Don't kid yourselves.
