I can speak here without any blinkers and have no bias towards either player, but anyone suggesting Murrell is a better player than Washbrook really does have rocks for brains.

Jonny Queer is still in there i see with the petty insults.




Murrell is better defensively.
Has a better kicking game and can lead the team around the park better then Washbrook.
Id say at ball handling they are on a par and Washbrook has the advantage on making clean breaks / tackle busts.

No blinkers at all.
Some Hull players are better then their counterparts at Craven Park but in this instance i believe Murrell to be the better of the 2.

At least a dozen players in front of him. I just want him to concentrate on playing well for Rovers, but he's about as close to an international shirt as Kris Welham - a long way away.

I named 7
Then Washbrook was put into the hat.
Who are the other 4 ?

Always liked that Jonny Queer guy, spoke very sensibly most of the time



I'm sorry but there is no chance on gods green earth that Murrell is better defensively than Washbrook. He may have the edge in the kicking department and the need to lead the team around the park is a non argument.

Like i said, lets agree to disagree Paintboy

If you can somehow get to see the tries from Celtic / Hull earlier this season you will see what my point is with Washbrook's defence.
3 Celtic tries where scored because of him.
Whenever i see Hull live or on sky he is weak in this facet of his game.
Murrell's missed tackle count is offset by the amount of defensive work he gets through in 80 minutes IMO.
Plus i dont recall many tries being conceded because of Murrell's defence.
I thought the Monaghan try last week may have been one but after seeing the game on TV that was down to Galea shooting out the line.

Scott has a good football brain can organise & tackles well above his size, but even with my red & white specks on I dont think he is quiet good enough for England. For one good reason he has no pace if he gets through the gap & to put him ahead of Westerman (who is something very special indeed)or Sinfield well I just dont see it. I would be very happy to be proved wrong as I like him in our side & hope he is around for a lot more seasons & who knows in a couple of seasons?

No he isn't. Murrell has a far superior passing and kicking game by a million miles - absolutely no comparision, Murrell is naturally gifted in this department.

Washbrook is a far better runner of the ball and he can bust tackles.

Defensively both players have different attitudes to defence so it's probably more of a matter of opinion.

Horses for courses whether you want a runner/tackle buster (Washbrook) or a distiributor/kicker (Murrell).

Yup, i can see through you most of the time



Hows my old mate Bazza doing??

Will be up to his eyeballs in nappies by now.



Another point im actually friends with Danny Washbrooks uncle & aunt so wouldnt risk upsetting them if i didnt view him with an honest opinion.

Fair enough.

For me Washbrook has all the attributes to be the perfect modern day LF and is potentially top class. He is technically competant in all the necessary facets of the game and WILL become an international player in due course.

Its also worth noting he would have played for England in 2007 but for his shoulder injury
