Thought you'd improved recently but sadly a leopard can't change it's spots - you really are wretched at times.

Did he not also have a try disallowed in the first half that was under the posts ?

Leeds Academy graduate Nick Scruton from Morley is supporter of home town team.

What a shocker

Disgraceful isn't it?

I wonder, does the OP know that his beloved Kear supports Cas?

He's doing a job. He's not a supporter like you NGB4C.
Im sure he's as bothered about his own personal performance and the team performance as any of us are with our jobs.

I didn't think Scruton had one of his better games on Friday, his attack could have been stronger for me, but generally I don't understand the stick he gets. He doesn't stand out like England, but he never loses ground and makes a lot of tackles in the middle. I see him more of a grafter who's capable of doing long minutes. We're a better side with him in it.

Your last line sums up Scruton's role perfectly.
He's a grafting prop that can do long minutes, subbing him after 20 mins is not helping him.
Some people are marathon runners, some are sprinters.
If the substitute rules change, like they have in Oz and I'm sure the RFL will follow like puppies, Scruton becomes a massive asset.

I think England and scruton are our best pairing and we all are in agreement, they can both do big minutes and in first half proper dominated first 20 mins, I still think we are in need of another quality prop as when these too are off the pitch we do tend to loose our way slightly, so be interesting to see if Anderson can lift his game and join the party?
Also we will see tommorow against whinos how we manage without England?
I'd love to get something out of the game tommorow maybe at home we would be more confident, but as long as we are in the fight at halftime I be happy

U didn't say he had a bad game. Just thought after a great won it was a poor interview that's all. Made no bones he's a big Leeds fan and didn't really ellobarate on the top win we just had.

Well he wouldn't would he Rodney you plonker, the interview was before Friday's game, and stop digging before you embarrass yourself even more

Googlie Translate: I got it wrong.

Or maybe he's been around long enough to know that there is plenty more work to be done and not to get carried away after one win?
I don't think he can win with you.
If he had been shouting from the rooftops, you would have said, what has he contributed, one win and he thinks he's a superstar.
The pressure grows on Leeds and by saying their a top team and he supports them, he may just get taken for granted by Leeds but surprise you.

Corrected for you

If he'd have shouted from the rooftops about the win over Shudds in that interview, I'd have asked him what the lottery numbers were going to be.

I'm not a lover of Scruton but you have to hand it to a player when he stands up and is counted and he certainly made it count on Friday.Had it not been for the refs guide dog getting in the way he would have had 2 tries on Friday

Scruton is just not quite good enough. It's as simple as that.

Simple being the operative word here.

Ok, after I posted this, I noted that the interview was given prior to he game.
Bur still doesn't detract from the point, that Scruton is level headed enough to know when to bask and when to graft.

Some of you on here need to reign the criticism in, your bagging of Scruton is out of order, he plays pretty well most games and certainly gets the odd try more than your average prop. Probably what you don't know is the he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes around the same time as he joined us. That's a hell of a condition for anyone to come to terms with and can take years and years to get under control. For a professional player to maintain their career is almost impossible so cut the bloke some slack eh!

Agree. I'd like to see certain posters say the things to his face!

Keyboard warriors NEVER say anything to people's faces!

Hard as that condition is, Scruton and any other player should be selected on performance not how hard it is for them.
Judging his character by considering his issues is another thing altogether.
I'm sure he's inspirational to other players because of his work ethic.

Saying that, if I were to judge him purely on playing ability, he is 2nd or third best prop in our team depending on your view on Simon (England being best imho). When you need 4 props and sometimes 5, his place in the team is valuable.
Will he play for England now? No.
Is he good enough for us? Yes.

too many posts on here have a personal agenda and some use derogatory names for players that allude to their character rather than their onfield ability. The OP of this thread almost always refers to Scruton in a personal and derogatory way.
