On your hypothesis then maybe we should play everyone out of position and see how bad they are too.

I do not think anyone is slating Crowther, just being realistic. He is not the player some people are making out . He is a hard working back rower with plenty of heart and worthy of a place in the squad.
I can see him moving successfully into the front row eventually.

He is playing out of position in a team that is low in confidence and of course is playing where he is picked.
My point is he's getting a lot of stick on here when we have a LOT of bigger problems.

I'm allowed a opinion and I don't rate crowther one bit should not be in the team in my opinion. See some of the home grown lads for other teams. JC does not cut the mustard for me. When seeing him as a lf and 2nr row I honestly don't rate him.

At this point Crowther is a solid loose forward, nothing more, nothing less. A hooker he isn't, even he and Chester knows that i'd imagine but he is helping in in an area we are short and kudos to him for that. Moving forward he will likely continue to develop as a back rower to become a good superleague standard player. I hope that is with us but part of me wonders whether for the sake of his own development a change of scenery might be the best course of action. He's 24 now i think and been with Wakey all along. Sometimes you've got to take a risk to fulfil your potential and to me he looks like a young guy who would benefit from new surroundings. Didn't we announce in the off season that he was being allowed to speak to other clubs to test his worth? We may find out soon enough what he decides.

Have you looked at the bit in bold if it helps I was referring you supporting NGBC being brave he is an absolute keyboard warrior who has nothing but identifying scapegoats to do.

Been absolutely immense this season and even in the shortened season last year.
Can't fault him for wanting to go 'home' for his final contract.

Last season he was solid but he was nowhere near as influential and was carrying too much weight imho.

This pre season he looks a stone lighter and in the best shape physically I’ve seen him in many seasons. Last season I would t have been too bothered if he went but this season he has been very good. Fair play to the guy he’s in great form and even if he had signed for another club next year we still get the benefit of him for the remainder of 2021 so just enjoy while it lasts I say.

If the rumours are true and he is heading home next season, you can't fault his effort and desire for us at the moment - very professional.

Correct. He's been sensational for us so far this season. He will be a big loss if he does leave.

Those rumours seemed more certain a month ago than now but who knows.

He looks happy here, probably the first time he has been the main player at a team too. Hull and Wire used him as a wide second rower while with us he is the middle dictating play while also taking the ball in.

Who knows, he may stay.
