This kid is the real deal. Best centre we've produced since schofield and could go on to be a real star. I also thought he showed those (including myself) who questioned his speed that he is no slouch. Just a shame he decided not to pass to whiting in the 1st half but made up for it in the 2nd

Coming on nicely improving on almost a per game basis.

He's an absolute revelation. I must admit, having not seen him a lot prior to his first team debut I was wondering what all the fuss was about. He's now showing pure quality, against top players.

He showed great speed but when he made that pass i was like noooooo pass inside but like you said he made up for it in the 2nd, what a combination we have in Crooks and Lineham devastating.

Looked so quick when he made that break. Lineham couldnt catch up with him.



But his strength also impressed me greatly. Still made yards when tackled.

He's all class, the decision making will come with experience.

We can forgive him the occasional error, though.



Crooks can be as good as he wants to be. Agree with the Schofield reference.

People were saying at that start of this year that we needed to sign a strike centre.

Looks like we didn't, we've had one all along!

He's looking really really good at the moment, how long is he signed up for?

He's a true centre. Tall, good feet, great hands and has an instinct for the try line.

Reminds me of Gasnier.

He'll do till Arundels fit again

With the likes of O'Meley and Galea definitely leaving and Briscoe & Tickle looking highly likely to do the same, I hope the club are looking into improving the contracts of some of our youngsters. They deserve to be rewarded.
