I’d be more skeptical of us signing another centre. I wouldn’t be surprised if Martin would just play there full time.

My issue with McDonnell, Gannon, Bentley, Donaldson is that they are all basically variations on the same skill set. Work hard, tackle well, reliable but not going to change the game. Having said that, maybe that is the plan. Trouble is, Nene has probably been our biggest line break threat, followed by Walters (leaving), Austin (gone), Newman (injuries). We don’t play a line breaking 9, and of the current signed up halves none are going to be line breakers either. I’m hopeful for Millar, and hope Fusitua can get some games together.

been far too many square pegs in round holes all year. some are unavoidable, lots haven't

Cataclysmic signing.

I respectfully disagree.

Though im not thrilled at the signing, if he can bring a cool head, a decent kicking game and a bit of leadership then Im all for it as weve zero of any of that at the moment. Its up to the powers that be to get another half in to "do the flash stuff" im happy for him to be the steady eddie and kick us around the park.

I've calmed down a bit now. I don't think Frawley is a top halfback, but if we can pair him with someone who is dynamic, maybe it will work, especially with Miller chiming in from the back. Frawley can be the one who does the job Sezer was supposed to - take control on the last and make sure we get decent kicks away and maintain structure throughout.

I think with the spine you have to judge them as a whole.
