Fully agreed on this! Hargreaves as you rightly say offers nothing for Saints when he is on the bench so starting him is the best policy.

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.

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
