Book mark material...

Don't get me wrong, I fully appreciate bringing these young lads through slowly. Playing devils advocate here, we could wrap him in cotton wool for two seasons, play him at 'full strength' for one season and then lose him to another club.
The lad's obviously good enough, and let's be honest we havn't the luxury of holding back players in favour of seasoned pro's.

Live for the now.

You don't change a winning team.....

If players were showing signs of fatigue then fine, rotate but i think Scruton should fight for his place.

If anything, it gives Scrutes a chance to strengthen his arm, no need to rush him back at the minute? Not had that luxury for a while.

I do like the fact that most are raving about Tom. Personally, im glad hes becoming a cult figure, it might be the only reason that he will turn down leaving in the near future.

If your good enough, then your old enough (also includes the likes of JP, Menzies etc.)!

Add to above...


I did like the way he put Feka on his ar*e!!!!

Not many can do that in this years competition.

Good enough then old enough.

For a teenage prop playing a hard contact sport whose body is still developing? Not quite as simple as that.

2 out of 10

2 out of 10?

What does it matter !!! if Scruton hadnt of been injured, Burgess wouldnt of got a sniff - Since coming from Leeds Scruton seems to be one of few who gives 110% and in my OPINION he is our best prop by far !!

Two names Paul Grayshon and Craig Richards, both very promising young impact props, both washed up and playing in the second tier of rl in there mid 20's and they aint the only ones! lets not forget the freak that is Sam Burgess is recovering from a major injury all ready.

Paul Grayshon was a promising prop? Tub of lard more like.

I did think Craig Richards looked good to begin with but he lost it for some reason.

Scruton won't have to 'fight for his place' given he is one of the best players in the team. Terrace cliche.

We don't have the luxury of a dearth of quality forwards or anyone who is tearing it up in his absence.

When, he's back, he should be in.

And again I agree. Give me the experience of the likes of Scrutes any day. Bring the young lads on gradually.

And as should Kearney. Folk maybe have short memories? Scroll back to the early games of the season and see what we all thought of Kearney. He's not runaway leader of the RAB MOM table - despite not having played for ages - for nothing.

Yup. Kearney is a country mile the most flamboyant "go-to" man in the team. Ouzes class and time on the ball and light years ahead of others in terms of his speed of thought. That some ignore that is either amnesia or stupidity.

Heath, BK, Scruton for mine, the key players in the team. If Langley could stay on the field and avoid pseudo-surgery-talk from those close to him, he would join the list.

to be honest i think scruton has to be in the team he is probably the closest thing we have to an enforcer at the moment and things like those massive hits when he sends the opposition player landing into "row Z" of the stand can really lift the team in a funny sort of way, iv no doubt that Tom Burgess will be just as good if not better than scruton but he will just have to wait for now and be eased in instead of been told to sink or swim which has ruined players with very promising potential in the past. i also reckon there will be another prop signed for next year , bit of a south sea islander nutcase impact prop. controversial i know but thats what i think will happen!
