Crookes & Shaul both scored 2 that day but, Crookes certainly caught the eye, looks like a great prospect.

Crookes (Jason) or Crooks (Ben)
If you mean Jason, you're welcome to him!

We can be and when we don't that's what really grinds my gears! We tend to play alot of 'panic rugby' even though we are in the lead. We should really focus on completing sets and build off that, going to be hard and if Hulls defence was like it was against us in the CC it'll be very tough to break it down.

| Certainly not going to miss this one, it is the closest RL ground to me.
A lot of people hear (Hull way) are writing off Wakey. With Hull on a losing run and our confidence returning I like the idea of being underdogs. It is about time we beat them again.

You said crooks is missing though, can't see any reason why he wouldn't play.

L.Smith
Cockayne
Sykes
T.Smith
Poore
Aiton
Amor

How much improvement do you want in 2 years !
2 years ago, we avoided the wooden spoon by beating the Bulls at home on the last day.
We had a team of young lads with half a handful of experienced players and the better players were all on their way out, due to having offers from other clubs.
We then sign pretty much a squad of new players and scrape 8th in SL.
The best case scenario this term was 6th/7th but a sensible view was 8th -10th which is where we are likely to finish.
Really, bearing in mind the clubs resources, what do you expect ??

I would agree with him. Performances and finishing positions are relative, where we were and what team we had in the past is irrelevant, this squad has the ability to play a far better, more expansive game than five drives and a kick up to the opposition 20/30m, but it simply isn't doing it.
There have been threads all over the place recently questioning the club's ability to pay the bills and it's financial position due to virtually giving season tickets away and being unable to attract full paying customers, the club can do all it wants to promote games with reduced prices etc but ATEOTD the only thing that will make new fans pay the full price is the product on the pitch, Agar and crew have a duty towards the club in this matter and they are not heeding it.
The rose tinted can shout all they want about the last two performances but both were of poor quality against dire opposition and not of a standard that is going to attract newbies, even at the risk of losing games there needs to be more emphasis on entertaining the punters not boring them to death, Agar should have been made to understand the importance of this by Glover before he started pushing promotions with cheap tickets, if he has been and can't coach the team to play attractive rugby then he should be shown the door.

Ok but, Where did you expect us to finish this season ?
The cold facts are that most supporters don't give anyone credit when we play well/ or win games, yet they are happy to blame the coach etc when we lose.
There is no doubt that we have lost games this season that we should have won but the reverse is also true.
Equally everyone seems to think highly of TT and yet no credit is given for bringing him to BV.
Like it or not, despite the hype, we are one of the lowest spending clubs in the league and to finish anywhere near "the 8" is an achievement.
How would you create a winning team (to attract new supporters etc) on our kind of spend ?

| BIG game on Monday, I think it will show a lot about what our team is made of.
We know we can score a few points, Hull are only in 7th so we should be targeting to beat them if we are hoping for 8th, Cas are hot on our heels, winning this would put us 2 points off 8th with a game to play and Agar should also be wanting to prove something against his ex-employees! Lots of motivational factors so we SHOULD really be up for this game! I'm looking forward to it! Chances are we'll get nilled.
