Except he already plays for us, can hardly be a target...


Again, we already have Lynch and Watts. Kite will be the bully if all goes to plan. Add Crabtree to them, as well as Bowden, that's an excellent pack IMO.

Crabtree's a great player. However, I don't see him as a likely signing. If we were to turn to Hudds for a prop, I would imagine that Keith Mason would be the most likely option. He hasn't gotten much gametime this year compared to usual, according to some posters on the Hudds board he had been told that he could leave if he finds another club, and he would add a bit of roughness to our front row.

Never rated Mason tbh.

I wasn't wondering about people's entitlement to an opinion. I was wondering how they manage to come up with the one they have at times.

Who mentioned they had to be a target???I replied I could think of a English Prop who I thought on current playing ability was better than Crabtree as the post by Sheldon said he was struggling to think of one.

Why because it differs from yours?

Some have a problem when people form their own opinion that doesnt match the big 5 KW's on the board

I don't see Crabtree coming here, in fact I can't see him leaving Huddersfield at all. I think the only reason he's being linked is because of his agent, who's been getting a fair bit of business out of us recently. Nothing in this IMO.

I like Lynch, he's a good grafter but he hasn't got that something else about him.

There very similar in stats, you can tell Lynch plays more mintues, but EC makes more yards per carry and has a better ability to bust tackles. Looking at that I actually think they'd be a great front row partnership.

Crabtree would be an excellent signing. Patrick would also be a decent signing.

I believe Taylor has options with Hull, Leeds and NRL. Nothig decided yet.



On the fullback I still think McDonnell might come. When he was interviewed prior to the derby he was asked directly by Angela Powers and he would not confirm or deny it. Now if he wasn't coming to Hull why risk the wrath and speculation of the fans by not just saying no? Also both clubs were very quick to deny it when the story broke.

Hmm...

I dont think he offers anything more than Lynchy TBH, its just I've never really seen him rip it that often in games. Stats I agree are pretty similar but also I feel Lynchy has pretty much carried our pack and go forward this season with the amount of time both Ogre, Moa etc have been missing etc.

It would be interesting to see how Crabtrees stats stack up since Huddersfield have been struggling as opposed to when they (as a team) were totally dominating teams earlier in the season.

He also thinks your a fadge so you must be a fadge
