What's your point, O'Loughlins a tough tackler?



As Dux says, Frodsham has a big frame, but looks a little lightweight on it. Emmit looks heavy and more robust, but isn't he a couple of years older?

Jeez, 19 year old rookie is tackled by international player noted for his defence over everything else.







That's pretty pathetic really.

I think frodsham may well be good prop but needs to be brought in slowly and in correct games.



He looks big lad for his age but think he needs to build strengh up.



He got plenty of time yet.

Without having seen much of Frodsham's junior career I'm kind of wondering whether he's being bounced around because he's too light (which, hopefully, will be corrected by the age of 21) or he RUNS light (which isn't correctable). There's a difference. Look at Karl Pryce - he has the frame of Willie Mason and yet he hits the line like Paul Bishop.

That remains to be seen but IIRC he has been England captain at junior level, so you'd imagine he must have some grit about him.

Yes he did captain England.



I think his confidence was knocked when burgess smashed him with his 1st run and he had to be taken off.



IMO DA should have tried to get him back on pitch and take few drives and do few tackles to get it out of his system soon as poss.



He was left to stew over what was bad debut which prob knocked him more.



If I was in that situation I'd rather just got back on pitch.

The Bradford game wasn't his debut.

Is he fit now?

People bagging Frodsham need to take a deep breath and relax. Every time he's played he's looked pretty solid taking the ball up. Trying to work out how he will grow as a player is tricky right now as he's not finished bulking up and growing physically, nor mentally in terms of playing SL.



Give him a few more years and he could be a great prop.

I don't have a problem with Frodsham. But if he's not liable to contribute significantly next season we have to bring a prop in from outside. If we don't we risk being outgunned by some of the bigger packs.

I'm gonna wait and see what happens regarding the Prop situation. Big Mac hasn't let us down before and I don't see how the club cannot fail to see we're light in that department. With the extra wedge we have available, I would take the signing of one big, nasty prop if it meant bringing Frodsham in full time next season.



If the rumours of Kite are true, that would be a cracking signing.

It wasn't his last appearance that season either IIRC.
