He scored from 5 yards out due to a massive hole in the defence. He took it, and good on him, but running isn't his strength. He kept the ball moving out wide quite nicely, and didn't hide, which is a plus compared to our incumbents this year.

There are no massive holes in the NRL play offs. He saw a half gap, backed his strength and scored a good try. If he gets a dozen of them in SL we'll all (well most) be pleased. On another a note I'm more and more of convinced that we need a hooker to give our half backs the best chance to make a difference. O'Connor does tonnes of work but it's asking to much of him to be the senior nine at present. I know this means robbing Peter to pay Paul in other positions, but if we sort the spine everybody else is going to look a lot better

I think we'll probably end up raiding Wakey at the end of the season.

Arthur hat's nonsense. It was a massive hole. He scored and well done. I'll try to be less negative about him, but lets not pretend that was Lewis-esque.

It wasn’t his try that impressed me it was his organisation, which is something we have been lacking

I'm not pretending. He went over the line with two players attached to him. That’s not indicative of a gaping hole in the defensive line, is it? If you want to see examples of gaps in defence I refer you to yesterday's game. There are plenty to go at. Anyway, agree with the point Chris made - his all round game was the most pleasing aspect today.

Agreed, it wasnt a gaping hole, he created some space with a dummy then rode a challenge to get the ball down.

Like already mentioned, iv been critical of the signing, but will always give credit where its due, he played well today for the most part, and kept a cool head in a high intensity NRL playoff game.

Frawley's try is about 3.20 into the vid on YouTube. To quote Andrew Johns, "that was too easy". You'd be disappointed if that was scored against you at whatever level, and it was due to lazy inside defence. I quite liked the rest of his game to be fair, as I've already said.
