Well of course he is he could disagree.

Just done quick check on Wiki and at 102 kilos Anakin same weight as Anderson , heavier than Simon and only 1 kilo less than Scruton.Surprised me that.

I think I upset him a bit back by having an opinion and posh people have long memories so he’s basically on the wind up.

He’s a pussycat when you meet him and totally reasonable.

The Anakin obsession is borderline stalking but I’m sure young Chris is safe.

So just agree with him unless you want a riding crop across your back.

Wiki is not always accurate..

See his uncle regular at work and he was saying he would love to stay but all he wants to do is be playing regular.

Does anyone else think centre or wing would be worth a shot. He can certainly motor and his upper body strength is not in question. Carney , Hall and Lesley Vainokola not your typical winger physique but you can't argue about their ability to score tries.

He's a bit of an enigma as to what position he should play. I personally feel LF is his position but he needs to hone on his passing skills. In fact, no disrespect to him because I like his style but I have yet to see him pass a ball - which rules out centre and LF!

Well we'll soon find out as I seriously doubt Smith would have stopped without being given total freedom to sign who he wants (within budget).

I think we are killing him playing down the middle. I want him as a wide running second rower targeting half backs.

Not loose forward for me your loose forward has to have a good pair of hands ( re- knocker Norton) and the basis of a top team is scrum half, stand off and loosse forward, the holy trinity, get these as top class players and the team is 90% picked.

Oh the irony!

Having given it some thought re Chris Anakin , he is a willing carrier of the ball and takes it in with real purpose but he doesn't hurt teams. Defensivley he gets swatted off by bigger and arguably better props (ie Chris Hill V Warrington @ home this season). I think he will always be destined to be a squad player and worthy of a place, but he'd not get in your first seventeen.

I'm a pussycat on here these days.

Always have been in my eyes Vasty.

He may not hurt players but he takes some stopping therefore using valuable energy of the defence. Out of all the wakey team he's the last guy I would be wanting to tackle in the last ten minutes!

Anna kin could never pass, lacks hight ,but I'd have him any time in my side before Scruton a big lad with a heart like a pea how folk on here can rave about him I don't know, a perfect example of when it gets tough he goes into hiding

Think Ill go with Brian Smith who I reckon rates Scruton highly both as a player and clubman and as been a model professional during the recent episode with very foolish players, including the one who left previous to the last two.

A more sensible post I think .

You do make me laugh Tryscorer. Thank you.

That comment makes me cringe, never mind laugh !!!.

I guess you didn't go to Sheffield, where Scruton was one of only 3 players that did actually put the effort in, and was ranting at the others for NOT doing so, or in the Bradford game where they tried subbing him as he clearly was in need of a break, but he waved the trainer away and took the next hit-up before finally coming off !!!!

Scruton clearly is one player who gives his all for the cause. Never shirks any hard yards or tackles. Respect for that.

It's obviously no good having positive news and good vibes around the place, if all the players were 100% in everyone's eyes, I guess the focus would be on the pies, the strip, Daddy Cool's worn out dirty outfit, etc.....

Well said Manuel. Some people are just so negative. I know it's a forum but......are they really supporters.

Yep! can't wait for the new strip to come out
