Possibly next week!

Crookes was another poor signing by gentle and mcrae. Think hull might really push getting biggs earlier.

Being fair, I don't think his pace is a problem. At the start of last season, when fit, he looked quick. Later on, when he looked to be carrying an injury, he didn't. So it was probably about fitness, rather than an outright lack of pace IMO.

His season was majorly disrupted thanks to injury and the form of lineham.
He was on a hiding to nothing when he came back through lack of fitness and game time.
Give him a chance and then lets judge him properly when he is fit and injury free.
If he is still gash then, then write him off.

You forgot about his defence

He was never good enough for a team who's aiming for the top 4. He's Wakefield/Castleford standard imo.

There are 3 better wing options than him at Cas IMO.

been having a look on the bath site, biggs has played in a couple of games, mainly the cup competitons, but had only really been on the bench as an unused sub in the premiership games. looks like now they know he's leaving they are using him as cover and (rightly) giving their other wingers opportunities. they could well retain him in case they lose players around six nations time, but after this is over i reckon he could well be free to leave

Hope so. Rumours of Jamie Foster potentially on the move, short term option with his excellent goal-kicking?

With Crookes I just think back to the amount of times he's lost the ball in the tackle?! His confidence must have hit rock bottom after his Wembley performance but he wasn't the only one who was shocking.
I'd prefer to stick O'Donnell on the wing as opposed to a short term fix like Foster.

Craig?

Daniel ?

Anyone remember when we signed Chris Smith from Saints ? Crookes reminds me of him

Total waste of a signing,not all his fault but i just don't see why we bothered in the 1st place.

Shouldnt even be at the club IMO

Ah, the Three Smiths.

Such a shame we couldn't keep 2 of them from getting injured.

9 (out of 33) Bath players in England squad.

Some of it is his fault

I agree,but not the injuries.

With the young kids I wouldn't expect more than a top 8 finish. Only needs experienced older players to get injured (and it's already started) there won't be enough strength in the team and there will be a hell of a lot of pressure on the kids and fans will expect more from them. So hope they will be patient it will be a couple of seasons before we start getting to a top 4 team.

He's garbage. Hopefully this is his last season

So our 3/4 line options are:

The flying binman (if he ever arrives) - hasn't played a top grade game in 4 years
Biggs (if he ever arrives) - never played a game of league in his life and not getting a start at bath
Lineham - injured
Crooks
crookes - injured
yeaman
arundell (until he gets injured again)

Looking pretty poor to me
