Frawley looks like he's off to the Giants as Clune has picked up another injury.
Giants fans (all 3 of them) won't be too happy about that I feel!
I know Frawley has taken a lot of stick and I do not think he is good enough to get into our squad, but he is a decent guy and a good professional, he deserves to playing first team somewhere and not in our reserves.
Yep, he had some good games for us, particularly after Arthur arrived, but ultimately he's been outcompeted by a far more naturally talented player, who is now fully realising his potential. No shame in that. He's always come across as a decent bloke and a model pro and it's shame that it hasn't worked out for him.

If Frawley does go this year I'd be surprised if we fill the spot before next season. Depending on available cap I think we might go like for like and fill the 2nd row spot that Gannon's departure will create with a NRL replacement. Maybe somebody like Ryan Matterson, if we could afford him. We don’t need to replace Frawley, Connor will get the 7 shirt with Sinfield as backup. I don’t think we’ll see many signings, maybe like you say an NRL backrower but that will be it. Lots of the younger players will be coming ‘on cap’ and personally I think the idea of keeping a settled squad is better than too many changes.

I think we'll see one incoming assuming Lisone resigns. Watkins was effectively a signing this year on next year's cap given the Sivo exemption. With the Sivo’s return, we effectively have what's left over from Watkins wage, the young players who will enter onto the cap, and the funds from the departures of Gannon Frawley and ECW to play with. Continuity will have to be the watchword.

If I had a choice, I'd like us to get Herbie Farnworth from the Dolphins.
Wouldn't be classed as a quota spot and is a quality centre. Tackle breaker and try scorer, as well as being able to supply his winger
Absolutely no chance of that happening. Interesting point is this. I agree there's zero chance of it happening, but is that because we don't have the cash to tempt him or because, even if we did, regardless of what we paid him, he wouldn't leave the NRL at this stage of his career. He’s on $850,000 dollars a year. Whilst we could put him as Marquee that would mean dropping a current marquee salary and we would have to be paying him quite a bit more than he’s in to tempt him away from the NRL. He’s lived there since a teenager, in his prime and considered one of the best in the NRL. Those types of players coming to the SL are long gone. Yep.If he qualified he would be playing Origin.

I don't disagree. My question was one of principle. If enough money was offered, and assuming the marquee rule was adhered to, could any SL club attract an individual of Farnworth's quality, in their pomp, or is the quality of the NRL too much of a draw for them.
