Who would you rather have in the team next week Grimes or Astbury? On recent form Astbury has him imo.
No brainer for mine
Has to be Grimes, plays on instinct, has more pace and can play on a tall or a runner and has a lot more footy smarts.
Astbury is too slow in the pace & reaction stakes IMHO.
And TBH it's a bit like the Maric/Big O/Vickery issue, don't think we can or will play both Astbury and Grimes, one has to miss out and it will be Astbury; rightly again IMO.
And similar to the Vickery situation, Grimes is a "non negotiable" (read favourite) at the selection table and that means if he is fit, he plays
