Thought to have dislocated and gone back in and he tried to play on with it.

Source?

guessing

Good post. Agree with most of that and would have agreed with all of it if we weren't playing Wigan at Wembley. My concern being that tactically, Crookes vs. Richards, in respect of the attacking cross field kick, is the RL equivalent of putting Dot from Eastenders in the ring with Mike Tyson. A complete mismatch that I think would cost us dear. So for that reason alone, I would stick Whiting on the wing for the next two and then bring Crookes in to finish the season (unless we play Wigan again of course).

I don't know where this guy heard that but I would tend to believe him tbh.

Look bad and I would be surprised if he features again this year and amazed if he makes Wembley which is a real shame.

If that's true which I suspect it is, then I'm absolutely gutted for him. It's a huge blow for us but imagine how the lad must feel, he'll be distraught. Losing crooks AND lineham is borderline disastrous IMO, as a few have alluded too though, Shaul could be our secret weapon.

believe it when i hear about it from Tommy's twitter feed or Hull FC themselves

Well said.

Shame for both him and young crooks who both deserve a day at wembley after their performances this season !

Seconded (or is it thirded?)

I really hope the lad is ok and pulls through in time for Wembley. He deserves his place and deserves a huge amount of credit, along with Crooks for the way Hull have kept their season on track when injuries were really damaging you. The way those two kids have played has not only been great for Hull but it's refreshing for the whole league and it gives you hope as a British rugby league fan that we'll ride through this rough patch the game is experiencing because we will always produce these cracking youngsters.

Fingers crossed for him (I'd say and Crooks but I believe he's already ruled out).
