How do you know he'll be paired with Myler? Is this from your source, or is it just what you think?

Just what I think mate, decisions are terrible and I just don’t understand us at all, so nothing surprises me.

If frawley is half recruit number one is that a sign that the trajectory of quality will go up for the next one or down/a combination of miller/hooley, Myler/Miller/Frawley. I'm all for give a player a chance before judging but at 28 there's not much previous to add optimism unfortunately. He's not played many first grade games in the last 3 years for a reason and even then it's been filling in not just in the halves but hooker and loose. Ah thats it he's come in as hooker!

Just in reference to Frawley still. He wasn’t good enough when he arrived at Huddersfield, he wasn’t good enough when he left, he hasn’t been good since, why are we aiming so low? You have to remember, he will be paired with Myler! That combination is down right awful and don’t even deserve a chance. I remember a certain signing of Beau Falloon went really well….

Which halfback would you sign?

No SL club is signing a first choice halfback from the NRL, Theyre going the other way if anything (clifford, Sezer)

If it doesn't go up fans would be right to ask questions. However, I'm pretty sure we have at least two marquee slots to fill. If the next two announcements were say Croft and Burgess I'm sure the majority of people might squeeze out a bit of positivity. Only time will tell, but at least we are finally getting some business done.

Oh no I wouldn't suggest they would, though catalan have made some impressive additions in the halves in recent years and Tyrone may is a great capture for kr, anyone know if we sounded him out or was that all tied up while we were still umming and ahing about Austin and sezer? Kr with schneider too this year.

It's actually probably a higher quality first grade nrl half around 32 and looking for a last gig for a couple of years in an easier comp that we need to bridge the gap with the younger halves coming through.

Him alongside a Pearce/Maloney type signing would have been the aspirations we would hope for.

I know he got injured but where does Sam walker fit in the roosters plans? A couple of years over here at his age could be good for him.
