I think it is as M.Demetrius has pointed out a picture of the frog would help determine just how to fix it.
There is a way of course if it is the shank that holds the disc what you need to do is cut off this shank at the frog body, then also remove the rest of the shank from the disc.
Then drill both the disc and the frog body at the diameter of a longish rivet, put a piece of tube between the disc and frog body at the correct length and peen over the rivet at the frog rear. If you don't have a piece of tube make one by getting a bit of thin brass sheet cut it at 3.5 times the diameter of your rivet and roll it around a former or the rivet itself. This will make it stronger than the other one that has not snapped yet.
