On the other hand I am. Just opening a pie and chips shop opposite the KC.

IF Crooks returns to UK,& his FC contract expired.

Hull have his registration,but can they demand a fee,if he's a free agent?

Hope so, but don't think he will, if you don't have support runners when he.s on the pitch, something seriously wrong, he'd be good in super league

See why you called him Big, hope it's true we would be looing at a very big pack with him added also.

I don't think so. Bosman ruling covers that I think.

I hope it doesn't come to that though and that he goes well in Australia or becomes a great player for us.

I would rather we signed Rose than Tahu.

At 31 he's not a bad age for a prop and we certainly need a prop more than another outside back or second row. There have been times this year when our forwards have struggled to make metres down the middle.

However, didn't the rumour Wilf referred to say we were signing an ex-international outside bacK?

maybe he was talking about Rose's sweet stash which he keeps out back?

We will get fee because he's come through the academy and a fee will be paid.

Does that still apply if he's over 23? I'll check...

Thought he's got a contract with us for 2015 and 2016

He'll be in Aus (on a loan deal?) for 2015.

so if he comes back to The Kingdom of England, Wales and Nothern Ireland in 2016 and doesnt want to play for us then he's still ours, to sell

Lancaster to wire

Like AP said we wont be held to ransom or pay a lot more to one U19's and upset all the others.

Yep. But not after.

Among a lot of players leaving the NRL, and not going to Superleague ( Footy Show tribute ) were Kevin Kingston, Ben T'eo , Jeff King, Luke Bailey and Anthony Minichello. Not sure if they are completely retiring or maybe going to other NRL clubs. Any of these our possible new signing?

Smailes has tweeted Crooks has signed a TWO year deal at Parra.-not one.
