I think the opposite is true though of some rugby fans. They refuse to call football football instead they insist on referring to it as soccer. They reserve the word football specifically for meaning rugby.

Its all bullsh*t - most people know football to mean the round ball game and although historically RL teams are known as rugby football clubs, I don't know why it can't just be dropped and just referred to as RL. It almost seems like one-upmanship of who deserves the right to use the word football for their game. Whats the big deal? One is rugby and the other is football = everyone knows where they stand.

It's all right being on the field longer but what impact does LMS have during his time on the field?

Against Quins this year we have stacked up 120 points in 3 games.

Hudds putting points on Quins doesn't really say anything in particular about Crabtree, especially as Quins squad is so paper thin we're persisting with players like Luke Dorn and Matt Gafa even though they're so gash we'd have been better off sending them to Skolars weeks ago.

...that's because it is [i"soccer"[/i an abbreviation of Association first used in nineteenth century Britain to differentiate between different football codes...

Soccer and rugby are two types of football what's so hard to understand?

whos that in your avatar? i didnt know david brent played for quins?!

Tookey.........

LMS is not the impact player Crabtree is, but he does put in more minutes on the park. I would like to see Crabtree at Quins.......but it will never happen.
As for the original posters comments....crabtree is a good prop that would end up in the top 10 in the NRL....but the tight crims don't pay enough!

No he wouldn't

A no nonsence player

full of power and hard to push out of the way if you run to him, but sure as hell needs to work on both his tactical kicking game and in dealing with the high ball

He's a prop!

These aren't usually a props best attributes.

As if an aussie would know who Big Daddy was? Or use the term "on about".

you may well have stumbled onto something there RB

Well I'm an Aussie so lets do the test on me.

"Big Daddy" was the nickname of a Drag Racer from the United States.

And "On about" is used in Australia.
