last night craig frawely was easily the worst player out there for us.for me this week against dogs chalk should replace frawely on the wing and zillman comes on to the bench.that would mean we would be a forward down on the bench but chalk could come off the wing and have a stint and maybe zillman could go to the wing.this would be the perfect time to bring in zilly as dogs wouldn't know much about him,and would add that spark that has been missing in the last few weeks:)

If Souths can easily exploit Chalk on the wing then I'd say the Dogs would be able to aswell. But I agree on Frawley, hes is completely hopeless. Getting dominated by Covell in general play :?

He was ordinary but he's big enough to handle Utai who is going to be a real handful. I can't think of any other winger strong enough to keep him out. Chalk is a fair size but that game against Souths showed that his defence on the wing is lacking.

Howell is definitely our best defencive winger, probably on a par with Mogg (although Moggy shreds him offencively).

I'd back him home to contain Utai....But lacking that it has to be Frawley.

Perhaps the problem with Frawley is that he isn't very happy on the wing and would rather be in the centres (as is what he wanted when signing the contract)? Unhappy footballers play unhappy football - football which tends to be below par.

I agree, I think we'll miss him in this game. Maybe we can borrow Colin Best early?

Must be another winger in PL. Frawley will get hammered against those bombs.

Give the man a break.
He had to mark Luke Covell, who has put to shame many wingers in the NRL this year.

Frawley joins a large group thats for sure.

He will definitely be targeted this Saturday night with bombs.
I'd like to see him dropped from the side but with Howell injured there's really no one to replace him.

the bulldogs arent exactly known for taking bombs either... esp on utais side... elmasri is quite handy under the bomb though and really can get a decent leap into the air.

But he can take an absolute screamer at times like the storm game and he took one on the weekend.

And he will be on Utai's wing so expect some attacking bombs from Smith to his wing on saturday night, I like his chances.

Fair go guys, some of those bombs werent easy to take. I admit I was yelling at Frawley after each drop, but watching the replay yesterday I can admit they werent easy.
He did make a very good run in the first half, and looks threatening in broken play.

Well if we lose to the Dogs in the last minute cause he dropped the bomb I'm sure you won't be giving him much slack.

Doesnt matter who it is mate, nobody would cut them any slack!

If it was Carney, Schif or Chalk it'd be Elliotts fault for not teaching them how to catch ;-)
