On the fox Briscoe debate, I have watched Fox all season he is fast & brave & I like him even though he makes the odd mistake. Briscoe though is (if he plays to his potential) better. I would actualy have him at centre instead of Smith (he is leaving league so why give him the experiance) & fox out side him but maybe it is one season to soon for that. Briscoe will be in the team for the next ten years & will move in from the wings, Fox is good enough but an out & out winger once his pace has gone thats it with him, so with an eye to the future I would go with Briscoe.

LeagueFreak 25/03/2011 For reference, Wigan is like the Roman Empire. Warrington is like the pillow fort I built in my bedroom when I was 9. Ok, 26... Formally Yorkshiretillidie....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_37250.gif



Quote: Durham Giant "Then why do you make a statement saying he does not make as many tackle busts as Carvell when the last time i checked the Stats he is one of the top forwards for making tackle busts
I'm sorry i apologise for not checking the Stats column before i write, however for accuracy i actually said he doesn't look like busting tackle's not who actually busts more tackles....

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?? icon_smile.gif

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.

Often size that big doesn't translate to a great foward where a low centre of gravity can often do you good.
Give him another couple of years until he's about 27 and he has the potential to be an england quality player, im not sure he has it yet though.
Still, he's improved year on year imo
