Lots of international players have a high missed tackle count, harsh to judge him just on that, look at Gareth Hock for example.

His work rate has been immense this season, 6th in the tackle count. Puts a couple of massive big hits in per game, and also helps out with the organisation and kicking in the side. An average player maybe, but an important player in our side imo.

If he keeps his progression up, remember it's only his 2nd season at 13, he could be in with a shout further down the line.

Always thought he could be a world class player if he had another yard of pace.

With all respect that is just pure nonsense.

He has a class step, he'd be able to take advantage of it more if he had some pace.

In your opinion.
I like Washbrook but id say Murrell is the better player.
Washbrook can be awful defensively yet thats an area you pinpointed as Murrell weakness.

i wonder if you would of said that if i said he could

Lets agree to disagree.

Washbrook is technically better in just about every department. He busts the line, he's quick, has great hands and defends superbly. He gets his head in tight and his contact is generally very sound. I would take him over Murrell any day of the week and twice on a Sunday.

It takes more than a late tackle on Brad Drew to get an England shirt

I think most people are saying he's not international quality yet.

As for Washbrook, I rate him highly, but on last years showing it'd be Murrell for me.

I can speak here without any blinkers and have no bias towards either player, but anyone suggesting Murrell is a better player than Washbrook really does have rocks for brains.

Jonny Queer is still in there i see with the petty insults.


Murrell is better defensively.
Has a better kicking game and can lead the team around the park better then Washbrook.
Id say at ball handling they are on a par and Washbrook has the advantage on making clean breaks / tackle busts.

No blinkers at all.
Some Hull players are better then their counterparts at Craven Park but in this instance i believe Murrell to be the better of the 2.

At least a dozen players in front of him. I just want him to concentrate on playing well for Rovers, but he's about as close to an international shirt as Kris Welham - a long way away.
