Earl Craptree, thats him, poor very poor.

Grow up you tool. But eh, you were right, yeah I will be at school in a couple of weeks to pick my grandkids up. And to correct you, you don`t SEE I know nothing about anything do you because your looking at a screen. Don`t shake your head to much incase the pea falls out of your ear.

aw bless

not even a very good pedant

London? Wow! There's a blast from the past!

Barry on a fishing trip?

Surely not!

Hero. And yet you still get it wrong.

Weren't you the same person who also claimed that all the good athletes play football and the ones who aren't any good end up playing rugby?

Fortunately he earns his living playing RL not footy (Thats Wendyball, or soccer if you're not sure

) so it doesn't matter how bad he is at footy does it.

Footy=Rugby League

Rugby = Rugby Union

Soccer = football / fußball /voetball

Thanks

Quality player is Crabtree think Hudds did well signing him for another 5 years he is a big part of a team who are doing very well this season.

If this were an Oz forum that would be most useful. However this is a UK board discussing a UK player in Superleague. HTH

Crabtree is okay, nothing special, but there are quite a few props I'd have in front of him; Graham, Peacock, Burgess, LMS and Morely to start with.

LMS is stretching it a bit. Would love a prop like him at Quins who could offload in the tackle though.

Eorl is overrated, but he's not rubbish. His defence isn't what it should be for a player his size, and the "skilful and accurate offloads" comment is pushing it a bit.

He's certainly behind

Peacock
Morley
Carvell
Graham
Lynch
Burgess
Vella
Cayless (Fit)
Puletua (When used at prop)
K.Leuluai
Sargent













And possibly a few more would be near him. I do think Huddersfield have an excellent prop in Mason though.

class.

Lots of intelligent argument and reasoning behind that post I see.

Cheers for that Bazza, I've edited you mistakes so you can fit in with us Brits

More than most others on this thread.

how poor is Eorl crabtree

not quite as bad as richard villasanti

To be fair, on this particular point I think most aussies have it right.

The sporting conscience in this country that seems to think the only sport that has a right to call itself Football being that of the FA really annoys me.

Rugby (both codes), Association Football ... are all codes of [ifootball[/i, there is nothing wrong with saying footy in reference to any of the three games as far as I'm concerned.

And don't come up with the silly argument about playing football with your feet etc etc - have a look at the original FA rules from 1863.

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.

I wouldn't swap LMS for Crabtree, LMS is younger, faster and seems able to do more game time. But I wouldn't turn my nose up at Crabtree.

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.
