Totally agree he has played above pretty much every bodies expectations and another year would be fully deserved.

He is and there's no way we can afford to carry him on that kind of wedge. We won't be retaining him anyway, already looking for a new club.

You know what he's earning for a fact then. If so, how?

What ever he's earning it's to much.

In your opinion, but I notice my question wasn't answered.

And Adam Pearson's it would seem.

When he was fit he did a good job for us didn't he? Aslong as AP has got someone better lined up them I'm not bothered if he stays or goes.

Genuine question tho, is Crookes from bradford better?

He looks a better finisher than Sharp from what I've seen of him. Wingers are there first and foremost to score tries and Sharp doesn't get enough, he never looks a threat.

Fairdoos, no doubt Crookes will be a good bit cheaper than Sharpe, plus we have Lineham aswell, therefore should be no place for Sharpe.

Yep, happened to stumble into some information about him.

Why anyone wouldnt want the Orge in there team is beyond me, he is class. we are a much stronger team with him in. He aint scared to mix it with any of the other clubs big men and protects the younger smaller players as he takes the hard hits like Lynch and I Watts (Dobbins u fools, you got rid of your best prop without doubt)

Realy?

spoke to him last night,he didnt realy give nowt away when i asked him,but then again gentle was stood right
behind him

he said its upto the boss,cant say he looked very convincing about staying tho.

Lineham is a far better player already.

I don't claim to know salaries etc but i bet we could pay Crookes and Linehams wage for the price of Will Sharps!

So would Lineham be your starting winger with Briscoe? Or would Crookes be ahead of him?

Good options tho.

Next season I'd go with our 3/4s been;

Briscoe
Yeaman
Arundel
Lineham

Crookes for me has got to be back up.

Agree with the above Crookes and Crooks as back ups but as we know with Hull there is always lots of injuries. Briscoe to fullback may be permanent if we don't sign anyone there. Also IMO I would give O'Meley another year but think he will go to Wakey.

I'd be surprised if Horne doesn't play FB when he's back.

Yeah Sheldon think he will but we have Briscoe to cover now.

I'd expect Horne to back, if not this week, for the Bradford game and then for next season.

Rich said to me last Wednesday they was aiming for Widnes

Crookes has also played centre at some point during his career, that bodes well for all.

Too lightweight for that IMO, would get barged through almost at will.

He can bulk up though surely, He has a lot of years ahead of him,

Maybe so, but I just don't see why we'd bring in a lightweight winger with pace in abundance but weaknesses elsewhere and eye up him covering centre when we have better options. If we do sign him, it should be wing or nothing IMO.

Sorry mate, only just seen this. He was told over two months ago to look for a new club. Would be very surprised if anything's changed since then.
