What about Morley?
Morley or Crabtree, no contest at all. I in fact like Crabtree, but the aussies will smash him all over the place.He didnt want to know in the final when he got hit by Morley (granted the game was over)'"
You know nothing.
Or certainly didnt actually watch that game at all.

| Crabtree would obviously never get picked ahead of Morley, but can do a good job as an impact player off the bench.
Westwood was one of the only players to enhance his reputation at the world cup last year, and as the incumbent in his position is rightfully in the squad (same with Myler).
Carvell has been good all year and will probably be on the bench with Crabtree assuming Burgess slots in elsewhere in the pack.
Higham is the only surprising selection from Warrington given his injury this season but again his form at the World Cup shows he can play at this level.
You can't really accuse Smith of picking favourites instead of form. He picked form for the world cup and the Sts and Leeds stars let him down badly. This years squad will be much more diverse.
Sykes for me is the only player I would question as he was very poor in the World Cup but he is clearly talented and maybe deserves a second chance.

Incorrect, i was there. Off-loaded every time he got the ball (thumbs up) sadly the rest of your team didnt take advantage of that.
Surely, even a bitter bloke like your self can see, that Morley should be in that team over Crabtree. Im not sayin "Big Daddy" isnt a good player but if its a chocie between the two, 95 % of the rugby league fans who watch the game week in, week out would pick Morley.
And regarding the "hit" did Crabtree trot of th epich or not? Or was it a coincedence that he was ready to be replaced with ten minutes to go.
Sadly, if you think Crabtree can perofrm aginst the aussies, your the one who knows nothing

| to all the Ben Westwood haters, yes he has his faults (he's a penalty machine) but the reason he's in that position so often is he's involved in most tackles. He's a fantastic player in defence and fearless going forward.

He's no world-beater that's for sure, but every team needs a Westwood-style player. Wish he was still at Belle Vue!

Our backs are far from strong - horrible in fact. They will be terrorized by the Aussies.

| whys myler picked hes nowhere near ready for this level of rugby in fact how many games as he played recently for salford, for me crabtree needs to be picked off the bench we need a forward who can do something different than just take the ball up, weve bucket loads of them who will just play straight into the other teams hands, for me i would pick 5 props morley, crabtree, graham, peacock and lynch.

Graham and Wilkin may be out, both need operations. Graham wrist ligaments, Wilkin knee cartilage.

My scrum halves would be Myler and Brough. At stand off I'd have Tomkins and McGuire. Two from those four then Tony
I'd have Pryce in the centres if at all.

| Can't be d going through five pages of drivel about him being biased, but it is worth pointing out that the only new member of the squad is Carvell, who I think most people would admit deserves his place, at least in the train on squad.
Morley, Westwood and Higham were all in last years WC squad and were three of the few players to actually perform pretty well.
Myler has been in the last couple of squads.
Nothing to see here.
