All reports are pretty poor-average.

Scared of the ball.

The one thing I really took note of in the one game I watched this year is his kicking game would have him cut in half in FG.

Catch. Stop. Turn. Kick.

In FG it would be Cat-BENT IN F*CKING HALF.

I heard from a mate at work he got injured during the preseason.

Or we just can't have any good halves.

Yeah Frawley is struggling with the step up to NSW Cup. In all honesty I think the guys like 19 or something, and probably needs time to develop in NYC first.

He touched the ball once in the game on the weekend, and that was at dumy half for a catch and pass.

At present Lindon McGrady is one that *might* go well if he can get his defence sorted.

I didn't watch McGradys defence very closely but did notice him make some good tackles. He certainly looked the better player. Behind a big pack he could be a very useful player.

Frawley was a passenger.

Pretty much on the money with your comments here.

McGrady impressed me more last year in some of his games and NSW Cup did not have a great season. Is prone to a bit of shirt grabbing but can put on a decent hit at times. In attack he has shown he can be elusive and can actually put in a decent grubber or bomb.

Matt Frawley needs time to develop and only turned twenty the end of last year. Unlike the U20s players you actually have to tackle and he is only in his first year with the big boys so is still finding his feet. Hope he does develop because he will be one of our only backups for the rest of this year and next ( that is unless we sign someone else)

I think the reason we don't have many good halves coming through in NRL is that once juniors make rep sides at 6&7 it all goes to their heads and they don't work on their games. They think they are the sh!t because it's such an important position and rest on their laurels so to speak.

If he was good enough or ready to play he would of replaced Hokko already but he isn't so enough about him.

I think Matt Frawley would go okay in first grade. In the NSWCup game against Wenty Magpies the Wenty forwards dominated so no one went well.

Frawley has got two assets Hodkinson hasn't. He runs on two legs and runs fast. Time in first grade (ie experience) would see his kicking game improve a lot.

IMO Hodkinson is a shot duck, he's had it. And that's got nothing to do with his ability. The fact is his knee injury has not responded to the surgery and rehab he had in the off season. Its sad really; a good and very gutsy footballer finished before his time.

He would be worth a go in FG. You can almost disregard any form in the NSW cup as they do not have a real coach. Theres no enthusiasm there.
He went really good at Canberra and would go well with better players around him.

The number 7 in the 20,s is going ok and looks a great prospect
Guy Hamilton is certainly making his mark in u20 with his last two games being outstanding. He was signed with high hopes for his future in the game. I hope that his form continues and builds and we can keep him at the club. He will be ineligible for U 20 next year so will have to step up to NSW Cup
