hope so even just for his kicking

I doubt that Crooks will be kicking.

After Tickle was injured, Westerman, Crooks, and Whiting had a kicking competition. In the next SL game we had Westerman kicking, so presumably he won that.

I asked the question last night,apparently hes staying,i asked about the boots the reply i got was that he get plenty from his sponsors and hes always giving them away

Was impressed with him yesterday and did anyone notice that he was the only one that went with Briscoe when he went clear.

Think its an injustice to say he is a distinctly average winger.. he ticks all the boxes for me whilst being workmanlike and very honest in his effort, he does nothing spectacular like Tb but lets be honest TB is a freak of a winger isnt he.
Better than sharp IMO and makes few mistakes .. good young kid and i definately will look upon him warmly when we play against him in the future as he has worked very hard for FC and seems a cracking kid too (apart from my youngest had his hair done like his last week)

He's a decent winger, works hard and is an exceptional goal kicker. However, he isn't blessed with great pace, has no real step and also lacks size. Even PG when asked yesterday said "he turns 4s into 6s".

He could always block pave it.

Against Wigan he made 3 carries for 18 meters, to me that isn't working hard.

Decent winger all the same though.

Staying now by all accounts

After Sunday his loan would be a week-by-week basis. It won't be until the end of the season - Saints will want to have the ability to recall him (I'm sure they wouldn't want him playing for us if we met them in the playoffs due to his goal-kicking).

In the Daily Wail Foster only got a 6, while the rest of the players got 7 & 8s. I could not weigh that one up. The reporter must of been watching a different game(not Smailes). He was nowhere near the worst Hull player on the pitch, even his goal kicking saw to that.
