Must admit you'd think so but stranger things have happened.

If he left now why would no fee be involved he is under contract with us

I thought that.

Look at it this way, if we get a fee we didn't want him to leave, if we don't then I suspect we did.

Assuming of course any of this is true.

I talk to Joe most days, he laughed this one off when someone put it on the Cas forum the other week, which is the reason I said it wasn`t true to start with.

Who knows where he will be next season though, he is OOC with us so I believe free to speak to other clubs from June.

Probably the 2 + 2 = 5 reasoning used by the site that published the rumour, one almost certainly started by his agent.

I'm sorry April fools Day has gone. Crowther is not even Dewsbury standard. Can't even compare the 2.

Never said he was ! The reply was to the insinuations that Westerman wanted to leave . He’s our best forward at the min .... as for Crowther he’s never been given a chance to develop at LF and he’s def not a hooker , but giving his all while being asked to play there .

Lad has put his hand up and playing a position that’s alien to him and he’s getting bagged, Jesus wept. Crowther will never be a world beater but he’s a damn good SL standard second rower who is no nonsense in defence and runs his blood to water for our club, something players like fifita want to take a look at, imagine is crowther was his size. Not Crowthers fault he’s having to do this role because of our coach’s clear inabilities to find a hooker during the off season to try get the team moving forward.

I don't remember anyone saying we needed a hooker at the end or during the closed season.

If Kyle Wood was fit the Crowther criticism would be academic as he wouldn't get selected there.

You're a complete Bell.

Brave thing to do newgroundb-4 cas to come on here and criticise J C. Getting to think my self what does he do .The only time I heard his name called by the commentators when, he was offside in the first half when we had Catalan in there 25 He as improved a lot ,but no way a stand in hooker maybe a 21 squad member .But not a week in week out 17 starter. Think the problem why our forwards seem to have trouble going forward .is when you got J C and Batch on the park at the same time you only got 4 forwards who have any chance of making ground , as J C and Batch are to light weight to make ground when near our line .If you put that along with 30+ forward you can see why we tire in the second half.Ready for flac but come to the point were watching Wakey is putting me of watching R L because every other team looks sharper and fitted than we do

Think Wakey would put the most ardent fan of watching at the moment, and that's the most worrying factor at the mo.

If the club are not careful staying away will become a habit.

Jeez like shallow Al not sure what you guys see in Crowther. Strong running 2nd rower. Dear me I want some of your funny cigs
