Wha'? I'd like to see at least Briscoe and Fox get call ups. If they don't then Smith needs to see a psychiatrist! If he's "refreshing" the squad (which is questionable given that 17) then Murrell would also be a good addition.

Your living 20 years in the past.
A Prop forward is not just a player that just runs into the opposition and gets tackled, not anymore. Although, lately he has wanted to pass the ball every time, and it doesn't work every time. It works every so often when the opposition are least expected him to pass the ball, but Graham seems to insist (or is been told) to pass the ball the majority of his drives at the minute.

Graham is the pinnacle of prop forwards in this country. Him and Peacock are the two leading props by quite some distance. Then comes the likes of Lynch, Morley and co.
And by the way I wish people would stop comparing Maurie Fa'asavalu to your regular props. He is an impact player and has done it very consistently this season. He's just not being noticed because of a lack of 50 metre dashes that were his trademark and because of Bailey's accidental high shot.
The key point. I can't understand why so many RL fans are outraged because this prop or that prop hasn't been selected despite the fact that Smith clearly plans to have a short-burst impact player coming off the bench and Fa'asavalu meets the criteria. I mean, since when was Andy Lynch an impact player?

From a Salford point of view its great to see ritchie in the squad, but I'm must also mention Luke Adamson the guy is a machine easily been as good as, if not better than Myler this year.

He has doubled the meterage of most props in SL whilst playing fewer games.
You should learn to use stats properly. Morley might have made 600 less meters but his meters per carry is far higher, probably because he actually drives in with some force.

Seriously, are you questioning how good James Graham is?

I can't say I'm surprised by Dire fans thinking Morley is a better player than Graham. After all, it's a looooong time since they've seen a decent player in primrose and blue.
