Crabtree : Sun Jul 19, 2009 6:01 pm  

Once again absolutely immense, he is our gamebraker this season. He has always been one of my favourites but he has never responded to a coach like he has done for NB. He must be a shoe in for England at the end of the season. My worry would be retaining him after his testemonial year, with him being so vastly improved other clubs are bound to be sitting up and taking note! If I were NB I would be asking uncle Ken to throw enough money at him to persuade him to stay!

i think nathan brown really has got the best out of eorl this year, when sharp was coach crabtree seemed to lack a bit of direction ( this is not a dig at JS just an observation) and i think sharp tried using him as a ball handler type forward,he never really used his strength to good effect whereas now he is used as a big powerful pacy battering ram and we are seeing a different player and the class we all knew he had is now there for the rest to see

He is now in his prime and it really shows. He is awesome. Did you see how many Warrington players were left on the ground after his charge to the line near the end of the game?

I'm loving Eorl and his offloads atm - Top draw

Absolutely, and I think the club are no monkeys, they will retain him

Superb performance in front of the England coach today. Carvell was, for me, Wire's best and he outshone him easily.

We played very well. Thought Smith was gash BTW.

I was just prying not once but twice that Big Eorl would get a score, that ankle tap just stopped him short, he was again immense.

How the hell didnt he score then lol

Mind, if he had been quick witted he could have got up and made a lunge for it.

Not with Smith as ref, surely a penalty to Wire!

Warrington coach Tony Smith:

"It all clicked for Huddersfield when they brought Eorl Crabtree on. He gave them a real spark. If we had a Crabtree then the game might have been different.
