I suppose with your "acumen" and fairness you would say that with the exceptions of Cross, JP, JJB & Buderus the rest of the Leeds forwards are "technically bloody awful" ......Right Kemo Sabi?
Yeah with the exception of Cross?? Yeah I can't let that slide, at all. His technically awfulness is his achilles heel, his weak-spot. All players have them. I have never questioned his fitness or workrate. Just the way he goes about things, it's a little Sloppy Joe for me. if he could get a handle on his aggression and channel it effectively he would be vastly improved and would give himself a better opportunity to make the 17. He had a run at the start of the year to show what he could do, when we were struggling with prop injuries maybe he hasn't done enough?
I know props are props and the whole 'big daft lad' sentiment can be brought up, but he's far from perfect. My ideal props of Kylie, JP, Biff and Bails is the correct combo IMO. You get a bit of everything. They just all need to hit their straps. ALL not just leaving out your 'chosen ones'. I expect more.
Look at the Biff and Clarkson situation. Cross can't find his way into the team with these 2 on the edges, which is a puzzle. But I'd rather see Biff/Clarky than Cross. But in fairness Cross is light years ahead of weller, so go figure!
Saddle up brother.
