No, because the available evidence and weight of opinion suggests the opposite is true. Your perfectly entitled to not rate Crabtree just as I'm perfectly entitled to think your bonkers for not doing so.

It would be, I supposed the same could be said when we were beating sides earlier in the season.

Very surprised that Lynch hammers him on off loads, look at how hard they both work at square marker!

Where has this post count clique myth come from? You know the cuddle club doesn't actually exist don't you? People post an opinion and that opinion is challenged by a differing opinion and then complain that is somehow a suggestion they are not entitled to said opinion. Or people don't agree because your post count is low etc etc not only is it factually incorrect it's also pretty pathetic.

Eh?? We're talking about Crabtree being a potential target on the rumours thread!

Difference is I don't think people are bonkers because they have a different opinion or view to myself, as they are entitled to have a different view & I can see their viewpoint.

I don't think your bonkers because you have a different opinion. I think your bonkers for not rating Crabtree.

I think Huddersfield in the first half were a far better team than we were and ran riot going forward as a whole. Plus I think the fact they were playing the same systems and style that they were helped them. Hull I agree started off well although I still think we are very patchy apart from a small number of games. What helped us win more often than not was the defensive structure stifiling the opposition.

I just feel if we are to lose Ogre & Sam we need another player of that ilk rather than someone like Crabtree but who knows as PG has said he wants a more mobile pack and one that can sustain longer minutes. What we seem to lack is that bit of nastiness in the forwards. I do see Watts though becoming a very important player for us next season and i'd like to compare him and Crabtree at the midway point of next season. I really do believe Sandycock & Grudge have made a huge error letting him go.

Crabtree would be a great signing.. I Said abit ago that hull were after crabtree. He's a big lad who draws defenders in but ALSO has an offload game to him.

Gentle said he wanted a big agile pack and i think personally Crabtree fits the bill.

In your opinion



Why though? Apart from any weight of opinion what reasoning do you have.

For the record I haven't actually said I don't rate him, I just don't get all the hype of he's fantastic etc.

I also think the style of Rugby that Brown employs is a more forward based game than Gentle employs and they seem to aim to get more points from their forwards than we do which again helps Crabtree.

Im not a Crabtree fan either. He's ok but looks knackered most of the time and is not as good as a couple of years ago imo. Id rather go with Mason tbh

I never rated Mason until a decent coach (Brown) got hold of him and he became one of SHudds better players. Noticable that since Brown left Mason has gone off the boil, IMO.
