Abysmal in defence today, cost us two tries and was out of position on three other occasions.

one of the players i wish we did release before deadline day

Due to lack of numbers he still has a role to play however there are a lot better out there and I think the Saints have bought another duffer like Shenton only we wont be buying him back pmsl

I don't understand how he still shoots out of the line after it is such an obvious weakness of his. Either doesn't listen or isn't very confident/clever to address it.

It's hilarious he is nowhere near the player Shenton is

Can't wait to see the back of him. Hasn't played well since he signed for Saints and doesn't look bothered.

Agreed and that stupid hop and jump 3 foot in the air when he sets off fools no-one.

Pity we couldn't cut him loose now. I've said before, I can't believe Saints wanted him? They'd have been better thowing some money at Broughton.

Quite agree.

I can't believe we offered him a contract extension.

But they wanted a centre, not a winger.

So why go for TurnStyle Turner then?

Shame Crooks isnt fit, its only because we have no one his playing. Wasnt good again today.

Got out of jail on that one dint we!!!!

One of the few bits of good luck we,ve had this season is the fact he knocked us back on a new contract, the sooner he goes the better for me.

Can't believe I was actually gutted to see him leaving at first. Ever since news came about he was linked with a move away, he's been dog sh.t. His defence is absolutely awful and I don't think Saints know what there getting them selves into.
Has good hands and is strong but not much else really, Once Crooks fills out and gains experience he will become a much much better player and now young Lineham making the break through albeit a different player. We haven't lost anything in terms of quality, we'll be alot stronger in the long run. The likes of Crooks, Arundel, Lineham, Bowden. Along with Briscoe Westerman, Watts, Houghton. Just shows how much young British talent we really have at the club next season. Along with other to come in aswell I'm sure.

I'm starting to feel the same way. I've rated him as a centre, but he has really dropped off since he's signed for Saints. His attack is good but his defence is not improving whatsoever. I'd play Crooks over him when/if he's fit.
