Ben Crooks plus £50,000 for Scott Taylor

Looks like Radders is after Taylor really bad

Can't see Wigan wanting Crooks tbh.

and you've heard this from...???
last I heard, wane had said that wigan were done for new recuits

I'd rather see him traded off like this than allowed to go for nothing to Oz.

Not really sure Wane would have patience with him tbh.

Would be great business, but can't see it.

If it's already been decided that Crooks doesn't have a future here (and it would seem that's the case), then this would be good business.

You couldn't make it up could you...............

I've heard it's 50 grand in used fivers plus lee crooks has to sing red red robin 10 times with his false teeth out whilst running around a chair and patting his head and rubbing his belly. May be bollox though

You could, in fact the OP has made it up......

Exactly. But we've got 3.5 gingers in the squad already, that's the dealbreaker.

would be a good deal but i suspect this is utter bore licks

Pretty certain Ben will be playing for Parramatta in 2015, and it will probably be announced early next week.
How on earth you go from being in the dream team one year, to not been able to get a game the next is beyond me? I am told Radford thinks Ben has a bad attitude. IF true, it will be a real shame to see a certain future England three quarter leaving the club.

As Loosemann says, how can you go from hero to zero in such a short space of time?
If he does have a bad attitude I can't see him as a future international.
Looks like a fresh start is going to be best for him, which is a shame for us, but could well resurrect his fortunes.

Will be interesting to see how well he goes at Parramatta if that is his final destination. SL dream team or otherwise.

If it is true then obviously Peter Gentle thinks a lot about his ability.
Another Radford cock up

Another radford cock up?? Or alternatively Ben has a very bad altitude and thinks he's Jamie Lyon after one good season.maybe it's not really Radfords fault. Just saying..

Or maybe everything that Radford does good or bad just gets slagged off

Or maybe radford has managed him poorly? Whatever teh truth I doubt anyone on here knows it

Ah Peter Gentle - always gets value from his signings.

Got to have the right mental toughness, & be prepared to take constructive criticism, & be able to defend to play regular in the best league in the world, he might get in the wentworthville magpies team though.

The same applies to Radford then no, yet he's shown none of these traits this season, has being clueless from the get go and had no answers to our issues throughout and no mental toughness to deal with the problem nor the guts to own up he was/is out of his depth.
Yet you ascribe Crooks as not being able to take constructive criticism, exactly where are the facts behind that statement..or is another of your made up stories that suit your agenda to blindly back Radford no matter what, even at the cost of slating a player without any evidence of such??
If Crooks can go from being in the SL dream team to being left out and dropped to championship status by our illustrious leader that speaks much more about what is happening at the club & the standard of coaching than it does the player.
Crooks attitude seemed fine to me last season, yet from unsubstantiated sources (yet again) he now has a massive attitude problem etc. It seems so easy for posters such as yourself to have another pop at Crooks & make up stuff without any hard evidence of what is actually happening..more waffle and conjecture taken as facts.

I'm not getting into a slagging match with you again, it bores me, but as I have said/posted before I only post facts, ask about if you don't want to troll through my posts? But there are a few people/fans that post on here that are in the know also, & have been told the same about Ben Crooks & his attitude/behaviour, if anyone knows this can you tell knocker that you've heard the same, please, I see you are going off topic again with the slating of a mate of mine, if you want to say anything to his or my face? We will be at St Richards school tomorrow evening 6-7 see you there.............? & carry on with accusing me of lying or posting rubbish & I will report you bud...#FACT.

I'm sure radford is happy to tell anyone who listens that ben crooks has a bad attitude. Anyone heard anything from crooks or is he being professional and not running around publicly slagging people off?

I've not spoken to either of them about the situation. Maybe Crooks isn't perfection and Radford the devil incarnate though. Maybe.
