For four seasons in Canberra Matt Frawley has been the guy patiently waiting in the wings ready for his moment.
This Sunday in Newcastle he has a big moment. A final. And the chance of an upset against the most in-form team in the competition, the Knights, when no-one except the Green Machine faithful believe it can be done.
But Frawley carries a fair weight on his shoulders. Among Raiders supporters, there's a lot of criticism towards the 28-year-old on social media and fan forums.
