I know Crooks is only young but if he can kick i would let him kick if he is our best kicker. No point in letting average kickers take the kicks which could cost us games.

The posts are in the same place, the lad will have lived goals all his career, it should be him kicking if tickle isn't playing.

You're watching a different Foster then. One of the best goal-kickers, sure, but he has a job to do on the wing and is distinctly ordinary.

Hope he sees the season out but would not want him long term. Exceptional kicker but average winger.

Very average player. As people have said, he would have nothing if it wasn't for his boot. I wouldn't want to keep him. Especially with Briscoe, Crooks, Lineham and Sharp.

It looks like he's expecting today to be his last game for us. He came over to South Stand at the end, boots in hand and handed them over to a fan stood at the bottom.

His last game is next week against Widnes,

Gentle has just said,they're looking to extend until to the end of the season.

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.
