Why would we let him leave now when it would allow Saints to be stronger and we will need everybody available again throughout the rest of the season.

I'm happy for Crooks (no 'e') to get another handful of games under his belt but I would bring him in slowly. We don't need to throw him in at the deep end. Imagine what Hull fans would be like if he turns out to have bad games for the rest of the season due to over playing him!!!

Maybe that's why he keeps saying he's undecided , judging by most opinions on here . Maybe scared of fans opinion of him . What if he was out of form , would people still want him or even hull . It's a short career . What would people think if the ooc players not offered new deals refused to play , saying they didn't want to get injured so they could get new clubs . Leave the kid alone and just play our strongest team till the season finishes .

Will he be going to replace Shenton or Wheeler, Shenton looks awful these days but I like the look of Wheeler (who is OOC).

Saints look really weak in the front row, all of there props are avearge IMO, I would have strengthen there before signing another backrow forward were they are pretty strong,

Wonder if next season Clarkey will say that Saints should be embaressed 'cos they can't bring through talent and have to sign players from Hull..fooking doubt it somehow..

Disappointed that Turner has decided to move on just as he was showing some real promise but would still be my starting 13 on current form.

Can't believe some fans still think he should be dropped! Again, why not drop Moa, Manu, Martin and O'Meley too?

Fans want to weaken the side for some reason. Apparently they think bringing through youngsters means throwing them in at the deep end before they're ready. Crooks has had a couple of good games. Let's use him wisely and not over do it. Turner is still a better present and should be played.

most players move on,i just dont see st helens pulling up any trees on current form and think some of their targets are thinking saints are still as good as they were a few years ago.and they arent.
have to wonder why these players want to leave us though as we have been progressing this season.
on the bright side it is freeing up cap space, i just hope we use it well

Has to be said that Saints looked like FC under Agar in Wigan's 20 today. It will be interesting to see Nathan Brown's recruitment. Their pack needs to add some grunt up front IMO.

Can't see Shenton leaving Saints, not for Cas at least, he'll be used to far too much money. Think it's more likely that Soliola will be moving into the pack.

agree with that, they looked bereft of any attacking prowess near the wigan line and the line breaks they managed werent supported enough.
all teams have highs n lows,maybe its saints turn for a few years in the doldrums.

Have to say I agree and it will take more than Willie Manu & Jordan Turner to turn them around even with Nathan Brown as Head Coach, they look so far away from a St's team we have seen for year after year.

Hull seem to be in a similar situation to Rovers, with apparently a good few players on the move, but when you look at the list of ooc players there's not that much quality in there. IMO its gonna be hard for our clubs to recruit really well.

What's this about dropping Turner? I think I would rather play the best, in form players that we have and go further in the season, thanks.

I wouldn't worry too much about the players who are ooc because we all know that contracts mean sod all nowadays.
