Safe to say that Mbye looked much much better tonight with a steady, DIRECT halfback inside him. He looked faster because he had more space and looked quite comfortable. Now, Foran will have a guaranteed spot in the halves (assuming he comes) so that leaves one halves spot left.

The good news is that if Mbye continues to flourish as a 6, Frawley played a shitload of hooker back when he was at Canberra, and actually played quite well there. He had a more than handy kicking game from dummy half too. Not to mention the crisp passing.

I wouldn't be surprised to see

6. Mbye
7. Foran
9. Frawley

Why would u play a specialist 7 at 9? Foran though can play 6 or 7.

So

6 Foran
7 Frawley
9 Mbye

Is Foran even confirmed?..I just don't understand why Lolohea would sign with the Tigers if Foran has signed with us, are we sure he isn't using us to up his price with the Warriors????

There's obviously more to Lolohea not getting any game time with the Warriors? he wasn't being chosen by Mcfadden and now Kearny... maybe he is trouble, or just another young guy with s bullshit attitude. There just has to be more to him not getting any game time considering his versatility and talent.

Warriors only rate Lolohea as a winger and are planning to play either Hingano or Lino in the halves next season if they can't sign a better half to replace Foran who will be moving down to sydney to be closer to his family and at the moment we are the only option for him.

Frawley could really flourish in the same role Peter Wallace plays for Penrith but I'd prefer to see Mbye have a chance at dummy half first.
If lichaa is getting moved on then Garvey or Woolford to 9. Mbye and Foran is great balance

Same can be said for putting a specialist 6 at 9? Except Frawley played a lot of 9 in juniors
Mbye is a specialist nothing so far. Unless Foran doesnt come, then mbye would be 6. I guess i think of Frawley as a specialist 7 as he looks more like a halfback than anyone we have had in the position in some time.

Watching Frawley straight the attack gave me goosebumps knowing how much Foran will do that and more to create space for Mbye

I look forward to Warriors matches now just to watch Foran

Plus if they win today 230 return on the back of Manly and us Win (3 game multi)

Please Warriors [emoji1431]

I would love Lolohea at fullback now that we have missed out on Tedesco.
Would you play Foran at halfback or put Mbye to hooker?
I'd still like to see Mbye given a go at fullback.

It won't happen but with the amount of injuries and head knocks forcing players off the field these days Mbye off the bench could make sense.
He could play anywhere in the backline and halves.
Even with a reshuffle, his pace and above average ball playing skills would be very handy

I feel there is enough ball playing in that spine to have a running fb. Preferably Dugan money permitting
