Matt Frawley’s Turnaround at Leeds Rhinos
On the back of a number of high-profile overseas signings, the Leeds Rhinos have been aiming to thrust themselves into the upper echelons of the Super League this season. Among the new recruits is Matt Frawley, who joined the club alongside Brodie Croft, Paul Momirovski and Lachie Miller. While the early performances of the new faces have been mixed, with Croft emerging as the biggest success thus far, Frawley, in particular, has faced his fair share of criticism from the Leeds faithful.
Frawley, who was brought in to provide organization and direction to the Rhinos’ attack, has struggled to win over the fans with his displays so far. He was even dropped from the side that secured a victory over the London Broncos, highlighting the pressure he has been under to deliver. However, the playmaker appears to have turned a corner, producing a much-improved performance in Leeds’ recent triumph over the Castleford Tigers.
“Speaking after the Castleford game, Rhinos head coach Rohan Smith was full of praise for Frawley’s outing, suggesting it may have been the Australian’s best in a Leeds jersey to date.”
Smith acknowledged that while Frawley has had some solid performances, his try-scoring appearance against Castleford represented a significant step forward in his development. The coach also highlighted the increased ownership and implementation of the team’s attacking strategies that Frawley and fellow recruit Brodie Croft have taken on in recent weeks.
With 12 appearances for the Rhinos so far this season, Frawley has two tries and four try assists to his name, underlining his importance to the side’s attacking prowess. The 27-year-old will be hoping to build on his improved showing against Castleford and continue to win over the Leeds rugby league betting fans as the season progresses.
