If you add in 515 metres, 60 carries and 95 tackles for the 5 games less that Crabtree has played, then his stats are better than Paleaaesina's.

Not seen anything special from crabtree tbh, Not seen much of Hudds to be fair though apart from the leeds games and he didn't stand out in any of those.

I bet Earl has done just as many minutes as feka despite 5 less games.

In the clips of Huddersfield I saw on the SL show he looked pretty impressive, at last using his size, weight and speed.
Could this be due to Nathan Brown's coaching and/or his conditioning staff?
If he does develop can only be good for England as well as the Giants.

I don't dispute it one bit and the huddersfield fans who watch him every week will tell you he has improved dramatically, it's just that I haven't seen it myself.

'Better' yet hed still have made more errors and fewer tackle busts and clean breaks?

There is very little between the two players though their strengths are slightly different.

My point isn't that there's any great problem with Crabtree more that there's not much up with Feka.

If you base your appraisal of a player based upon statistics alone.

He's ace. Wish he played for us. Good for the Giants though in getting him signed up.

Or even just a narrow range of statistics - which is what SL site gives.

Either way I'd still stand by the comment that neither lack quality.
