Is he?

Well here is an extract of the Press release your club sent out when you signed him!

HULL legend Lee Crooks has joined Super League rivals Hull KR as assistant coach. The former Great Britain forward, 44, agreed a three-year deal to work with boss Justin Morgan at Craven Park. Hull-born Crooks — who also played for Castleford and Leeds — has spent the last six years working for the RFL on coaching and talent identification. He will also coach Hull KR’s academy squad.
Aussie Morgan said: “Lee is a coach with vast amounts of experience and is a welcome addition to the team for next season.”

So you tell us!

You can do that with players, not backroom staff.

You can.

Rovers can and may look for compensation.

Think you will find Nicky Barmby, Dean Windass and Ben Morley are the City's finest home grown talents.

I'm no expert on Lee Crookes. I'm probably just getting it confused with where he lives now or something! Unless I'm wrong about that too!

I thought McNicholas was taking that role permanently.

I would have thought that is what they would do, but have heard nothing from the club
