No he isn't. Murrell has a far superior passing and kicking game by a million miles - absolutely no comparision, Murrell is naturally gifted in this department.



Washbrook is a far better runner of the ball and he can bust tackles.



Defensively both players have different attitudes to defence so it's probably more of a matter of opinion.



Horses for courses whether you want a runner/tackle buster (Washbrook) or a distiributor/kicker (Murrell).

Yup, i can see through you most of the time





Hows my old mate Bazza doing??

Will be up to his eyeballs in nappies by now.





Another point im actually friends with Danny Washbrooks uncle & aunt so wouldnt risk upsetting them if i didnt view him with an honest opinion.

Fair enough.



For me Washbrook has all the attributes to be the perfect modern day LF and is potentially top class. He is technically competant in all the necessary facets of the game and WILL become an international player in due course.



Its also worth noting he would have played for England in 2007 but for his shoulder injury

Just shows what influence being a local celebrity can have

Isnt he top of the missed tackle charts?

Just to add some info for the Washy v Murrell debate

Murrell played half the games Washy did so simply double his figures. By that estimation he would outperform Washy by 1 try and get 10 assists v Washys 5. Washy is outperforming Murrell in every other category, including tackle busys by 71 to 26 and clean breaks 14 to 10. Defensively Washy also made 714 tackles compared to an estimated 642 by Murrell.



All this and in a well beaten team! Puts the arguement to bed for me!!

But 6th in tackles made .

Did you forget to look at that stat





Averages 34 tackles per game.

Misses 4.5 on average but as mentioned earlier in the thread not in crucial areas that have led to shipping points

So on that basis Murrell's estimated error count for the season was 8 to Washy's actual 19

Washbrooke is a better athlete but Murrell is on a different level in terms of natural ability.

both good players,in truth think scott would be a better 9 than anything else great tackling and work rate,but not the best runner of the ball,hooker would suit him down to the ground....but he is no shaun berrigan

Yup, and Murrell would give 22 penalties away to Washys 14, whats your point?
