Sign frizell now!!

[possm]

If Friz does go, especially if he seeks early release we are very light on for forwards. If this happens Mary has to fall on his sword. The whole he is not going anywhere while im here speech seems to be code for its a done deal he's gone.
To me I just feel Tyson looks burned out, he had a lot of injuries last year and has played a hell of a lot of footy over the past few years with all the rep stuff and a lot of time at lock as a battering ram. I honestly think he needs a sea change and see what it would be like to play under a decent coach.

Mary has not the integrity to fall on his sword, if he did he would have done it long ago given the mess he has presided over.

I heard he's meeting up with the Knights coach today. On the day we are playing a trial against them...

Wow

Well if he is , then he better have a bog in their change room and not ours !

 

[Frank Facer]

He's 28, 29 next year. To be fair, Saints have been right on a few of these situations previously (i.e., Merrin, Dugan).

If JDB gets off, it makes some sense as well. If he doesn't they should be cashed up next offseason especially if Graham retires. Not that anyone will want to play under McGregor...

We should have Graham, Aitken, Lafai and Frizell money to spend on the 2021 cap.

Would be nice if anyone actually wanted to come.

 

[Warabrook saint]

How are they going to re-sign "I'm a 1.5 million a year player " Ponga, with all these other million dollar deals they're throwing around

Buy the whole reject shop franchise

What makes you so sure that we will have Frizell money to use. We just might have to pay his wage next year yet....and the year after...and the year after..and the one after that

 

[BLM01]

I know I will be criticised for saying this but I do not think that Frizell is worth the money he might now be seeking. If he is after a premiership, he certainly won't win one playing for the Knights.

His defence might be sound, however, his attack is generally one dimensional and lacks ball playing skills. He has a few mistakes in him and plays the ball poorly a lot of times. I really haven't seen him set up plays for his outside backs and most times he just charges ahead without thought of dummying and passing.

If he leaves the Dragons, so be it and we just get on with life without him.

That will do me. Now we don’t care if we discard our best forward and he walks...saying he is not worth it!.
Good to see you named a better replacement since he is such a crap player.

I agree with @Dragon David on this one.
I've said for a while Frizell is predictable in attack. He rarely offloads and always runs the same angle. You cannot question his commitment and strength but he isn't all that dynamic. Ive heard a number of people from opposition clubs say the same thing about him.
I hope he stays because he always gives 100% (unlike our halves) but if he leaves us at 29 then so be it. We got the best out of him (coaching excluded).

I tend to agree with you.

Opinions vary that is what makes this forum enjoyable. If Frizzell had a decent coach to use him properly he would be a better player in attack running holes off good plays out wide and not use him as a battering ram too often.... If I was coach i would have him defending in the middle not on a edge. He plants his feet in defence and better suited running up and meeting players head on in the middle not on a edge among sliding or up and in umbrella style defence.

Dont think Frizel will want to Join the Nights after that performance

Maybe Frizell is playing to instructions. If he decides to stay, let's see how he plays when Flanagan is in charge.

Newcastle money and a four year deal will keep Frizell at SGI. Anything less and we may just lose our best forward.

Agree 100% I can't remember the last time I saw Frizz try and hit the hole between the 2nd row and centre. Which is a shame because he's so quick for his size. Loves him some of that cutting back into the pigs though...
I'd rather he stayed, but wouldn't lose any sleep if he left. Much the same as Merrin a few years back.

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Friz is still a fair way ahead of Host and Ford and Sims but lets be honest Ford and Host looked very good in the trial and their trajectory forward makes them very hard to deny a 17 spot and maybe even an edge spot.

They were both hungry yest Ford and Host and looked NRL to me and have plenty of upside

Friz two years for sure but 3/4 years means we loose great emerging value backrowers in HOST and FORD.

I'm not saying he is a crap player, just not worth the money when there are several younger guys in the squad who can do the job for less. Host and Ford are quite capable.

With due respect Possm, four year deal for a forward who is 29, carries injuries most the time, even though he is a great player with good attitude ...... on Newcastle money or even ours, is not smart business for our club.
