Definitely Mom , he has pace and size and good hands , but shows nothing , pushed off tackles like Mickey Lewis rubbish .He would be first for me followed by a few more.
Whilst I'm not defending Frawley's signing, the market for available HBs at the time was scarce, it was between him or Clune, who has also been very average for Giants.
Momorovski is a different matter altogether tho. Quality outside backs are plentiful in NRL and there's just no excuse for this bit of recruitment. Another dreadful call Gary.

Arthur wouldn't have made Frawley captain if he didn't rate him. Momirovski's recent form hasn't been good at all, but he's another that has played a lot better than his last game.

Momirovski, no pace, nor physicality not capable at competing at the highest level of rugby. If he played several seasons for us it wouldn’t change things. As for frawley Blake Austin in the dying embers of his career is a superior player than frawley. Both frawley and Momirovski are a factor in cementing our middle table status. Look at the league table and compare our position with Salford and then contemplate we robbed them off two of the teams star players. Then look wher we are, that’s how far we have sunk. Not forgetting we have a temporary coach.

Momirosvki played over 40 games in 2 years for Penrith and Sydney roosters, he’s clearly capable of competing at the highest level. Wether he works out for us we’ll have to see.

He has played for big clubs and his pass to Fusitua a few weeks ago showed he has some talent. However, he has largely been very poor considering that pedigree. He turned up unfit after going on a stag do or whatever Smith let him get away with.
He has picked up a bit under Arthur, but last week he was an awful again in the first half.
Season on the line , 4 minutes in, Wigan kick to the corner , Marshall taps the ball back inside to Wardle. Momirovski does not run back to cover Wardle until he gets the ball, by which time it’s too late. His attitude and lack of intensity compared with Wigan was chalk and cheese.
I reckon he has had the hard word from Arthur. Would not surprise me to see Roberts picked tomorrow.
I’m going to KR and will not be bothered if never see him again in a Leeds shirt. If he stays for next year he needs to get a hard long pre-season in the UK . I doubt he will fancy it

I just don't think, in retrospect, he was ever the style of player who would compliment our squad. Have seen him in play well in very good teams in the NRL. Teams who tended to physically dominate and control field position, which allowed him to play to his strengths. At Leeds we've needed big, athletic ball carriers to offset the crippling weakness of our welterweight pack. That's just not his game. If he goes the key thing is to find the player we do need, something we've been very poor at for too many years now.
If I was doing a list of pros and cons for Momorovski it would be this; Cons, too slow, not physical enough, drops too much ball, doesn’t fancy the big carries out of defence, misses some really easy tackles, prone to switching off. Pros, got a good leap on him in aerial contests. I think he’s maybe playing the wrong sport.
