worrincy isnt blocking steve crossley's path to first team. worrincys a 2nd row, crossleys a prop.
Yes he is if one of the props had been missing and Langley and Sol hadn't been injured Worriny would have stil being selected ahead of Crossley.

Crossleys path is being blocked by burgess,lynch,scruton,kopczak and james, Would you genuinely say hes a better player at this point in time than any of those players and hence deserves there place in the pecking order.
No but you could play Burgess and James in the second row.

whiteheads a fair point, although the lads only 19 and still has plenty of time to break through.
He won't when he has players like Worrincy in front of him.

I don't subscribe to view that an academy product should automatically get a first team shot over someone we buy in.
I agree I wouldn't expect Crossley or Whitehead to be picked ahead of Menzies who looks class. But Worrincy isn't no Steve Menzies.

Worrincy has advantage of first team experience and he made a pretty good debut last night.
A chance Whitehead won't get. Plus if you think he had a good debut your very easily pleased.

Showed a decent turn of pass and was about on a par with matt cook performance wise.
If you think he was on par with Cook I'll have some of what you've been drinking.

Not the finished article by any means but probably the better choice over whitehead for the first team at the moment.
At the age of 23 he should be better than he is also have you ever seen Whitehead play other than he Dewsbury friendly.
missed your 2nd edit re:when it doesnt work out. Makes sense after reading your comments re worrincy in the other thread. Why are you so down on the lad? at least give him a couple of games before passing judgement. whilst he's certainly the most speculative of this season signings he hasnt done anything to deserve a slating yet.
