He barely makes an impact when he starts.

Aye the lad needs to up his game. Catalans shows that Slick likes big, powerful forwards, so he'll be out shopping soon.

We definately need to replace JC next season as well as Bryn, in my humble opinion. Need 2 big, nasty b'stards up front with Jammer and Maurie to come off the bench. I'd take Luke Bailey if he is still available.

Hasn't Bryn got another season after this? I seem to remember he was signed up for two just before Sir Daniel left these fine shores. He's been a bit of a letdown. I'm sure he works hard but I'm not sure how effective his hard work is.

Aye. We've never been quite the same since Baloo retired. Hopefully we can find a world class replacement for Cayless. Bailey would do nicely.

I like Bryn as he gives it everything, but he just lacks the physical presence to make an impression against sides with rough packs. Much like Mark Edmondson before him.

Can't agree more, when the going gets tough we hav'nt had anyone (like said by others ) since Paul Anderson. I think it clear now that JC has gone and in my humble opinion our kids coming through arnt big enough. Jammer is a freak, most props with his impact need to be over 17st.

Frodsham seems to be highly thought of, but I'd say we won't see his potential until he's in his early twenties. He's a big lad but isn't physically mature enough yet.

Danny Cooper is a blo*dy monster.

Thats the thing with props (graham aside) generally they only become big enough at 22-24ish and they are in their prime from 26 - 31, later than in other positions.
If Frodsham could put on 2 stone of muscle he could be the man for the job

frodsham run to upright that is why he gets smashed.

How big would you say he is?
Saints dont have stats (or any info) on our academy team

Just guessing.

Around 6'2" and 16 stone.

Thats a really good start! I'm guessing he's only 18ish as well

22 or 23 i think.

Um

He should've broke into the team by now then. I have to confess i dont really have time to follow the reserves or academy, is he any good? Maybe a late starter?

He's been in the academy/reserves for a good few years now. I've never really thought he was anything special or thought he might have a chance of making it. Although, i've not seen much of him the last season or so.

Frod
DOB 18th Dec 1989 makes him 19 now
Height 189cm
Weight 100kg

15st 10lb and 6'2" in english

pretty big for 19, could easily put 1st of muscle on in 12 months and be a force in superleague

I would put him on bench in ashurts place but if long has another shocker I'd start him at 7 the following week.

For me it should be his last chance against Catalan coz we can't play week in week out with no scrum half

I agree but he is steady in defence and gets thru a good Amount of work.

Then when Catalan get tired bring on tony p for a impact.

Anyway round it Hargreaves will be in the 17 but IMO he is a better starting prop than bench player.

Bryn is a honest hard working player but let's be honest he only a 5th prop.

He should only be playing if we got props out injured.

We miss Anderson and also miss fozz.

We are lightweight in the pack and IMO we are to soft and often get bullied.

All of which is true and a concern going into tomorrow

I've got bad feeling about tomoz!!!

It wont be easy, if Bosc is out it will be easier for us

Bosc is rubbish. Even his kicking this year is rubbish.

It's there pack that makes them tough to beat.

I'm glad ryles is out tho.

Even long would look good with there pack
