Frank does not seem to lack some attacking power running ability . Remember clearly those two busts he made against the Raiders and Roosters respectively to set up Tom for two important tries . Like most of the back rowers vying for a starting spot , a big mobile unit who if used effectively could play a valuable role .

If he can get back to and produce his late 2016 form , he can be easily a starting prop. Agree that A F B and Perrett probably still seem more suited to bench spots but have a feeling that A F B in particular is capable of stepping up to a starting role at some stage soon if required .

Bencher
Bench looks pretty good actually, although Sipley for Brown would be ideal!!

Bencher
He had a couple of really powerful damaging runs. The problem being it was a small handfull over 26 rounds. He has shown he can't do it consistently which must be frustrating for the coaching staff
No, the coaching staff re-signed him for another 2 years, even at his advanced age, which indicates they are very happy with him, and the role he was asked to play.
Both 2nd rowers last year (I believe) were restricted by a very specific game plan.
We don't know what Frank is capable of, given a different role .... Siro was used more often by DCE on the right ... but still less than most 2nd rowers, and he also, will benefit from a different game strategy.
Thommo is obviously going to be a starting 2nd rower ... but don't discount Frankie, given more freedom he may just surprise.
Thank **** it’s Lewie Browns last year, if they resign him beyond that I’m cancelling my membership.
Not as down on Louie as some ... but agree ... for the coin he is on we can certainly upgrade next season. If some of these newbies and young'uns perform to expectation, we may see little of him this year.
My guess would be Wright with an M given Jorge is back or Parker would be the first choices
Tom Wright I’m thinking!
Okay I have a crack also
Tommy, Jorge, Kelly, walker, uate, Hastings, dce, tapau ,api, lussick, thompson, sironen, Jake t.
Bench - perrett, sipley, afb, Shaun Lane. Others to be in mix Croker, tom wright, Parker, jack g, Lewis Brown, Frank w.
The 5 prop rotation did help us get go forward, it’s a waste of bench spot having poo there for injury cover Thompson can cover, back row and centre.

I’m with you there , if he can just do a basic job on the left side AND kick the goals I think we’d win more than we will lose.
Does Croker kick as well ( as in goal kicks), anyone know???
Won’t be far off in my opinion!
Not sure but apparently Brian Kelly can kick so he maybe an option as well
Yeah I’ve seen a YouTube clip on that , he was t bad either!
