Another radford cock up?? Or alternatively Ben has a very bad altitude and thinks he's Jamie Lyon after one good season.maybe it's not really Radfords fault. Just saying..

Or maybe everything that Radford does good or bad just gets slagged off

Or maybe radford has managed him poorly? Whatever teh truth I doubt anyone on here knows it

Ah Peter Gentle - always gets value from his signings.

Got to have the right mental toughness, & be prepared to take constructive criticism, & be able to defend to play regular in the best league in the world, he might get in the wentworthville magpies team though.

The same applies to Radford then no, yet he's shown none of these traits this season, has being clueless from the get go and had no answers to our issues throughout and no mental toughness to deal with the problem nor the guts to own up he was/is out of his depth.
Yet you ascribe Crooks as not being able to take constructive criticism, exactly where are the facts behind that statement..or is another of your made up stories that suit your agenda to blindly back Radford no matter what, even at the cost of slating a player without any evidence of such??
If Crooks can go from being in the SL dream team to being left out and dropped to championship status by our illustrious leader that speaks much more about what is happening at the club & the standard of coaching than it does the player.
Crooks attitude seemed fine to me last season, yet from unsubstantiated sources (yet again) he now has a massive attitude problem etc. It seems so easy for posters such as yourself to have another pop at Crooks & make up stuff without any hard evidence of what is actually happening..more waffle and conjecture taken as facts.

I'm not getting into a slagging match with you again, it bores me, but as I have said/posted before I only post facts, ask about if you don't want to troll through my posts? But there are a few people/fans that post on here that are in the know also, & have been told the same about Ben Crooks & his attitude/behaviour, if anyone knows this can you tell knocker that you've heard the same, please, I see you are going off topic again with the slating of a mate of mine, if you want to say anything to his or my face? We will be at St Richards school tomorrow evening 6-7 see you there.............? & carry on with accusing me of lying or posting rubbish & I will report you bud...#FACT.

I'm sure radford is happy to tell anyone who listens that ben crooks has a bad attitude. Anyone heard anything from crooks or is he being professional and not running around publicly slagging people off?

I've not spoken to either of them about the situation. Maybe Crooks isn't perfection and Radford the devil incarnate though. Maybe.

Tells you everything you need to know when the kids dad agrees with the club.

For those banging on about how you go from SL dream team to being farmed out to a championship club, why not get in touch with Kevin Penny, he was a fore runner at it.

If Crooks goes to Paramatta, i reckon he will play less than half a dozen first team games.

Crooks' defence isn't good enough to play reserve grade NRL. Premier sports are covering the Holden cup this weekend, standard is as good if not better than SL according to some ex pats I know out there.

I'm sure neither are but I wouldn't expect the coach to be discussing problems he has with players with anyone outside the club

Says who? Someone on an internet forum?.

I'd guess that the truth in this one lies somewhere between radford being a blabbermouth who can't manage people and crooks having such a bad attitude that the club don't want him any more
