A pretty sad indictment of his time here then!!

Yes, I was just thinking that....

Hardly suprising Lynch and Scruton aren't in the ETS. Lynch has never been in the bracket of elite props in the country and even in his prime wasnt considered good enough for major international fixtures. Scruton, well he's a fair way short of elite tbh.



Congrats to Elliot and Donno although Elliot should have made the ETS if Brett Ferres has, says it all about Macca really.

Can't have much complaints really, although Crabtree ahead of Lynch is a joke.

To be perfectly honest, I'd rather none of our players were picked for the international team. Yes, it's a honour for the players, however, the end of season internationals end the same way ie England getting tonked.



McNamara's appointment as England coach always struck me as being the result of two things a)cheapness and b) no one else wanted the job.



actually, let me clarify point b as "no one who actually had the required coaching levels wanted the job"

How come Brough is in the squad? Surely he's illegible after playing for Scotland only lasy year? If a player can play in the qualifying rounds for one nation and the WC for another it just puts yet another mocker on international RL.



Not that international sport isn't already a joke with England Cricket being made up of South Africans and England Union having a certain ex Kiwi international playing for them.

You have not seen much of Crabtree this year then. he killed the wire forwards and yesterday was our MOM.



A 50m catch and return bowling players over left right and centre and in the first half a run took 4 players out and left Radford wondering what day of the week it was

Well I've watched two out of three of your games, he looks the same as always. He is the most over rated forward in Superleague.

yet in the 2009 four nations he had a very god series. ( less good in OZ last time as apparently he was instructed by McBanana to keep it tight and NOT TO OFFLOAD).



I would say that most Huddersfield fans ( and Hull fans after yesterday ) would disagree with you. I could link this thread to our board and invite further views

Do what you want mate, I am sure linking it to your board would get a very unbiased opinion on him.



He goes missing too often, he may have had a cracking game yesterday (based on your report) but he's just not good enough for England.

Crabtree 15 full caps Scruton 6 full caps. Tony Smith and others obviously disagree with you ( i will not put Mc B in there)



FWIW i like Lynch and think he should have had more caps.



Crabtree is different to a lot of other props he is not an 80 m man like Graham, an enforcer like Morley but is one of the best offloaders in RL. as an interchange prop he is as good as any and better than most English props.
