Crooks will beef up the defence at the edges as it's looked somewhat flimsy after the departure of Worthington. Is he a left centre, if so he will provide the bullets for Walmsley .... just think of the damage he could do with a quality centre inside. Would be the best centre/winger partnership we've had since Austin/Preston!

See Keighley have replaced him with Junior Sa'u-now that would have been an exciting signing..
Could we be in for Lee Gaskell if Keyes not back this season..?

I am not too sure that Sau at the the age of 36 would be a better signing. At this stage of both there careers i would choose Crooks. As for Gaskell it will be interesting where he ends up. In the article about crooks joining it is said by i think Steve Lambert in his words and hopefully more to come so we are still looking to add to the squad and i would much prefer a halfback pairing of Louis and Gaskell then to have Wood playing there.

Yes agreed,but I’m not looking further than this season at this stage.

Surprise. Fev and Sadfud sniffing around Gaskell. I never really rated him maybe that's why Wakey let him go?

Not hard to state how big today's game is given the results above us. A loss would leave us 4 points adrift of the teams above us and no matter what even Grix's biggest fans would say Im sure if before the season if people had said we would be 6 at this point and in danger of missing the playoffs, they would not have been happy. A win though, which we are more than capable of, puts us well amongst it and still in with a realistic chance of 2nd place.

Crooks starting the game at centre

I'll be delighted to be proved wrong but disappointed Crooks after just a couple of days training comes straight into the side at the expense of McComb and Maizen

I'd love to know the thinking behind putting McComb on the bench. Hardly an impact player and a waste of an available fresh forward. Just don't get it.

Point lost or point gained? Frustrating to concede such a late penalty but at least it didn't lose us the game. Barrow beating Widnes did us a favour. Only ourselves to blame now if we don't kick on to secure a top 6 spot.

It may not have cost us the match but it cost us the win stupid move by Tangata and he should take full responsibility for us not coming away with 2 points.

Basically Grix saying McComb has done nothing wrong to be dropped but isn't good enough to start rather than picking a team for the situation we are in. Go to that sort of pitch and against a big Bradford pack and only carrying 2 out and out forwards on the bench is madness. Point given away and usual problems of poor discipline and handling errors costly again. Starting to think if we are going to change coach then it needs to be done pretty soon while the season can still be rescued.

Utter brain FART.
