Confirmed by the club.

Everyone seems to be kicking off on the Facebook page. I don't really understand why. To me Crosby has always been a solid but unspectacular prop. I would put him behind Flower, FPN, Tautai and Clubb at least. Good luck to the lad, but I can't help but think some of this anger from fans at his leaving is because he's a Wigan lad, rather than the fact that they honestly believe he is too good to sell.

My only issue is that all of these rumours seem to be coming true, meaning it's only a matter of time before we see Dwyer announced. I just don't know where he fits in. Surely he hasnt come to be back up, but Powell's performances and his voting as players player of the year suggest that Powell won't be dropped either.

Is he taking George Williams with him?

Reliable yet unspectacular. He does everything asked. I'm not too bothered he's gone, but I would have been happy had he stayed.

Sort of player every club needs IMO,nothing spectacular just does whats asked of him,i suspect he will form a formidable partnership with Hill.

A player who in time will be marked "better than i thought he was"in my opinion

He just needs Elastoplast as his sponsor and he'll be fine.

His best years are ahead of him, that's what annoys me. However, Wigan has deemed that it was not worth matching Wire's investment.

Sad to see him go.

He is an excellent prop forward when he wants to be. He was easily our best prop in the Grand Final but sadly that just adds to my frustration because he doesn't play like that often enough.

If he finds some consistency he'll go on to play for England IMO and a move out of his Wigan comfort zone could help him achieve that.

Wires quest to have more Wiganers in their side then us continues.

When all are fit I’d say he’s in reserves with Tautai, Flower, Nu’uasala (sp?), Clubb and Sutton all ahead of him, plus Lockers maybe moving to prop so he can play be spelled more. I’d have liked to have kept him but if he wants a salary beyond what a squad prop is worth then it makes sense to part ways. Unfortunately for us I can see him developing into a very good player and saving his best performances for our games!

Watch your language!

Distinctly average and runs too upright like Fielden in his decline, not too fussed about this. Like someone said, hes 5th/6th choice when all are fit behind:
Flower
Clubb
FPN
Tautai
Sutton
Mossop (hes still here, right?)

Plus theres Navarette and Bretherton..

I can't recall too many occasions when Crosby has been fit and not included in the 17. So my feeling is that the move is about money. Since this is a short career, and if Wire are paying him quite a decent wedge, then I can't really blame him.

Good luck to him. I'm with the majority on here, I would be happy to keep him if he wanted to stay, just as happy to let him go if he wants to leave. He has been solid, but unspectacular with us. Maybe Tony Smith sees some potential. He hasn't had much success or luck in his recent recruits at prop mind (Bailey. Cox, Dodds, Asotasi, England -though Hill is a cracker, and for me the jury is out on Simms).
