How good is this kid?

Still very early days in his career but he will go all the way. And he's ours for four more years! Thats eleven tries now in eleven games this season and fifteen from sixteen in total since his debut last year.

Three great tries tonight.

Great player. But how good is the kid inside him

Aye , And that's on the back of some ordinary offensive play , Cannot wait till we get some Halves back.

Both are looking fantastic prospects, both are natural born try-scorers.

Even though they are decent players, I can't see how Crookes and Arundel can win their places back at present.

Arundal for Yeaman. Gentle wants us to take teams on Yeaman is too slow in body and mind. He's done well for the club but these kids are talented

We've got the best up an coming right hand english side..

Tom = Superstar

Don't forget poss the next Sam Tomkins in Jamie Shaul

crooks was brilliant tonight. Showed more creative centre play in 80 minutes than yeaman has in the last 3 years. Him and lineham together is a fantastic prospect for the club in the next 2 or 3 years as they develop. just wish crooks had a tiny bit more pace

Has Richards come out of Linehams back pocket yet.

He's only 19 could get a little bit quicker. But how quick is his brain? The kid is going to be class. If we make some astute signings in the next couple of years we could be challenging. Miller deal almost done

I don't know about that, but Wane had to take Thornley out of Crooks' with 15 minutes to go.

Can't argue with that , He's looking the part with every game so far .

Was a bit worried with the ease in which Richards got round him for Tomkins' first try, but other than that he was faultless and is a future international.

Was talking about that during the game...Crooks and Lieham totally out-played Thornley and Richards.

Lineham was very good but Crooks outstanding. Excellent wing / centre partnership developing.

Ben Crooks now has 15 tries in 22 SL games and laid on all 3 tries for Tom Lineham tonight. I'm really not bothered about 'wish he had a bit more pace/would bulk up a bit' he is a very good player now and a fantastic prospect for the future.

Crooks and Lineham are the future of the club for along long time. Quality, young, confident players. Lineham is huge and a born finisher.

I think Crooks is going to be the real deal always gets on the outside of his man. Was a good win for Ben when Thornley got took off

Lineham was good, Crooks was great IMO. Possibly his best game so far. If Arundel was to come into the team next week it should be Yeaman under more threat IMO.

Really enjoyed watching Crooks tonight.

A natural rugby player and a natural try scorer too.

It is a fair point that he doesn't have great pace but this can be said about plenty of outstanding centres in recent times, e.g. Lyon, Gidley, Hodges. There is no substitute for pace but there is also no substitute for good hands and a rugby brain.

Totally agree.

Got to agree with the previous posters, Lineham was great but Crooks was outstanding tonight against the best team in the business at the moment.

I've seen tons of crooks n could always see he's a natural player.
Still say he's plenty to work on still but tonight was a coming of age kinda game for him tonight.
Don't like to over hype kids but it's not a great stretch of imagination to see crooks n lineham as a future England wing centre combo!

Both need to work on their defence!

I'd hate to see some more Kevin Penny's / Shaun Ainscough's.

Good luck to them both

A fully fit Hull team and Yeaman misses out in my opinion, Crooks and Lineham are superstars of the future.

Yeaman is still a better all around player than arundel.
