Please can you tell me the names of these people you know at St Pats. I coach there and was doing when Gareth Frodsham regularly tore us apart so it will be interesting to see who has this opinion of him at St Pats. I remember one time him destroying our pack by himself. WIgan scouts were watching this day and tried to sign him but his first and only love was St Helens so Wigan had no chance.



Thanks

They weren't from St. Pats or St. Judes, one was involved in his coaching at Saints.

Was it Frank Bough?

Ok, you mention lads who have played against him. Again, names please, would like to mention it to them.



Thanks

What is your name?

Gareth?

I played against both Frodsham and Cooper a couple of years ago in an A team game, and on the day Cooper was far superior and when I watched them at that level always seemed far superior to Frodsham, out of interest what has happened to Cooper?

Forster, the other young forward (prop/2nd row), seems to have been used a lot as a substitute last year.

He's highly rated, apparently, so perhaps he suits an impact role off the bench? I've not seen him, what the opinion of people that know his game?

I can't remember seeing him but believe he is highly rated. I think he has been selected fro the England U18's to play v Australia schools in the forthcoming two test series at Barrow and Castleford.



I'm going up to the game at Barrow on the 5th December so I'll see how he goes.

Has Makinson also been selected? I think he withdrew from the last international squad due to injury.



**EDIT** Just found the squad and he isn't there.

Cooper was 4 years older that Gareth. He was a unit but no drive.



Gareth was most certainly not overated as a youth player, every club in SL chased his signature. Including Wigan, Leeds and Warrington.

He'll be starting the season at Widnes apparently.

I remember prior to the dual reg deal with Leigh Jake Emmett taking at bit of a bashing but he has turned around his career and signed a deal at Castleford. We would welcome Gareth at Widnes and it might be the best for him if he signs.



A quick note though, the best young british front rower we have at the minute is Ben Davies from Wigan. Massive future ahead of him.

Only against wigan clubs ey
