He's a solid, no nonsense prop who might provide more go-forward once the solid and hard ground conditions kick in.

About the same time Peacock is expected back from injury....tough decision then.

Cross reminds me very much of Mark O'Neill. The way the walk, drives the ball in, he has Mark O'Neill written all over him - he just looks beat up.

I don't know why such a reaction about todays loss has occurred, was it not expected? As soon as the Leuluai injury came about we we're doomed from the off. I don't care who you are, if you arrive to in Warrington's back yard without 3 of your 4 first choice props, a first choice back rower and your stand off your going to lose. Especially after you lost to Quins at home the week before. Call it an excuse but its really just a fact.

McDermott is going to feel the pressure for these results and life won't get much easier with Saints and Wigan on the horizon, I feel sorry for the bloke as he really has been thrown in the deep end. You can try not to jump on Cross' back also as he has come over here naturally with a lot of expectation with him been an import, and expected to lead a pack along with Luke Burgess, not ideal for him thats for sure.

Weren't you the one condemning the team (and BJB in particular) after the Harlequins debacle ? 3.14111328125:10
