True...Hope Roby doesn't get hurt early doors...going with one hooker is risky in any game!

Plus Crabtree defies logic...the guy is a big unit but rarely causes a good defence any problems...think someone should have a word in his ear and say the idea is to try and run through the tackle not fall into it!!

See that's the problem, he just doesn't look like he'll bust the line like Carvell does....

I think Crabtree is a poor selection, plus most teams work best with two hookers, Using eastmond in that position won't benefit the team, Roby is good, but i prefer the impact play.

If it gets tasty i would of liked to see Carvell available to bring on, likes to give out the rough stuff and isn't afraid of mixing it, hope Crabtree won't shy away.

Of course, being a Hull KR fan you're going to be slightly biased, just like Cas fans will be toward Shenton, Leeds fans towards Sinfield and Smith, Warrington fans towards Bridge, Westwood and co.

I saw most - if not all - of KR's televised games and the game against Cas, and he was steady in attack - and like I said had the ability to score tries but his defence was shocking at times.

You'll want to be kicking to Morris if your kicks are going to be ordinary, because Hayne and Slater can return the ball well. It will be the end of be the beginging of the end for England

Don't know why people are complaining about Crabtree's selection. He's a very mobile prop with good handling skills, and could be ideal for coming off the bench.

Agreed.

Someone that actually makes sense!! (You're not from Yorkshire are you??)

great that crabtree is given a chance! can cause some real damage and excellant offloads.. puts in alot of tackles too.. cant wait for saturday

Wow, so many people on an RL forum who have clearly not seen a game all season.

Love the attitude of "He plays for Huddersfield so he must be rubbish".

and hasnt played for 6 weeks.

Code 13 you are totally wrong, this has nothing to do with who he plays for, i respect every player who pulls on a shirt for any club, if i think that some may not be the best option for England, this has no bearing on my thoughts toward the club.

Ironically, it is you who has just suggested it is due to his club,

Couldn't agree with a statement any less.

Hodgson has been immense this season, and Moore, Mason, Brown and many other Huddersfield players have played very well, to their potentials imo, so this has nothing to do with "Just because it's a Huddersfield Player"

By using facts?

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.
