I think Frank should be given the opportunity to earn an extended contract by his displays, especially given that we are very limited in genuine back-row forwards.
Wilkes is not a second-row forward, he is a prop that makes the hard yards. He is too slow for defending out wide, Richard Horne just skipped past him as did Broughton.
If either Snitch or Ferguson get injured in the vital run-in it will leave a big hole in the team so we need Frank to be ready to fill in.
