If Crooks leaves, he's not going to be one of those players that comes back to haunt us.
I haven't really seen much to show how he'll develop into a quality player.

He was quality last season. What's changed this season? Except the coach.

The fact he is made a scapegoat for defeats, dropped when actually playing consistently at this level is how he will develop his game, not playing with Lineham etc.

Just using him as an example. Looking at the u19's squad list we have a couple of other young wingers on our books called Ash Leaming and Josh Poskitt that we could try out should the situation arise. Anyone know anything about these two?

Have seen the under 19s a few times and to be honest those two will never make the grade.In fact my opinion is we don't have another decent winger coming through that's why Lancaster was given his chance ahead of others.

Ffs people still going on about Jamie Foster?! There's a reason why he's at Bradford, because he's not very good. The only reason someone would want him at Hull is because they have a crush on him.
Average all round Barring his kicking, but we have two excellent kickers next season Rankin and Sneyd.

Some have suggested before that his confidence has been shot since Wembley which may be true but a coach that had some faith in him might have helped him regain that confidence. I don't think Radders has handled Crooks well at all this year. Good to see him grabbing his tries at Donny. Hopefully that is helping him get said confidence back.

It's called having an opinion.

If Crooks gets his confidence back, it'll be soon knocked out of him , if/when he returns to Hull.

In pounds I doubt he would be. But it's nearly 2 Aussie dollars to a pound, so I would imagine he would be over there. Nobody really seems to know what he's worth.

Does anyone have a copy of the sunday times rich list? If he's as seriously wedged as that he'll be in there. I knew he had a few quid but that is a huge amount if true and probably make him worth more than the rest of the club owners, most of the club sponsors and the RFL. He should buy the RFL and do what he wants
