Quote: Code13 "I am suggesting anyone who says he isnt good enough hasnt watched a game all season, and is basing their opinion on his club because they are absolutely not basing it on a knowledge of RL.
Maybe he wont cut the mustard on saturday, but to say he has been easily handeled by good defences is one of the most misinformed statements of all time, and on this forum, thats saying something.'"
Huddersfield fan by any chance??
Crabtree has the potential to be great...he just isn't nasty enough in the tackle...far too easily hits the floor when he meets contact. I'm sorry if you don't like that opinion...but hey, deal with it!
I certainly don't think just because he's a Hudderfield player that he isn't good enough. For the past few years all we've done is select Leeds and Saints players...and oh..failed! I'm glad we've given players from outside the top 2 teams a chance...I'd suggest there are plenty more better than we've chosen this time...Louis McS. has proven himself everytime he's played for England but is overlooked for Graham (who plays well with good players round him) and I also have no idea how Shenton is in the starting position..but hey..everyone is entitled to their opinion...
But back to my point...Crabtree hasn't met his potential. I really hope he steps up another 2 gears on Saturday...cos we need him to play like the animal his size has the ability to be.
