m.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/rugb ... -1-4824643 Maybe kept on a weekly basis, but it doesn't seem like its agreed yet! Even if Will Sharpe is back I would keep him for as long as we can this season, with Tickle out injured we need his goal kicking ability.

He's a quality player and I fear we'll have many occasions to ponder "if only we could have kept him" in the years to come, will be a real asset to Saints, has been a good loan signing and I hope he stays for a few more weeks.

Think we have to keep him to the end of the year for his goal kicking if nothing else.

Fairly average winger but his kicking has been invaluable while he's been here.

brill goalkicker and puts 100 per cent effort in,but am afraid very average as a winger, still thank you for helping us out and good luck,

Great goal kicking, but very average player.

Would keep him while short on numbers, but then let him go, sharp is an alround better winger.

If it wasn't for his kicking he wouldn't be a SL player.

Said he's not keen on the drive

Crooks can kick.

Not the worst player but he always looks scared of going into contact or putting his body on the line, would rather have a Lineham/Sharp wing combo (if Sharp is fit). As said above Crooks can kick as can Whiting, I'd say thanks Jamie and goodbye, he said he only wants to play for Saints so if our lads are fit play them.

He's making a lot of noises about how very much he wants to go back to Saints, would be a bit peed off if they don't have plans for him.

at under 20s, yes
But in a stadium of thousands of people, while he's got enough pressure on him as a young and upcoming player, I doubt he'd pull off the hard ones, it wouldn't be fair on the lad to make him first choice goal kicker

Westerman or Seymour to kick for rest of season I reckon

If he's the best kicker he kicks, everyone kicker has to step up at one point in their career.

Isn't that exactly what Saints did with Foster? If Crooks happens to be the best option available then he should be taking the kicks imo.

I know Crooks is only young but if he can kick i would let him kick if he is our best kicker. No point in letting average kickers take the kicks which could cost us games.

The posts are in the same place, the lad will have lived goals all his career, it should be him kicking if tickle isn't playing.

You're watching a different Foster then. One of the best goal-kickers, sure, but he has a job to do on the wing and is distinctly ordinary.

Hope he sees the season out but would not want him long term. Exceptional kicker but average winger.

Very average player. As people have said, he would have nothing if it wasn't for his boot. I wouldn't want to keep him. Especially with Briscoe, Crooks, Lineham and Sharp.

It looks like he's expecting today to be his last game for us. He came over to South Stand at the end, boots in hand and handed them over to a fan stood at the bottom.

His last game is next week against Widnes,

Gentle has just said,they're looking to extend until to the end of the season.

hope so even just for his kicking

I doubt that Crooks will be kicking.

After Tickle was injured, Westerman, Crooks, and Whiting had a kicking competition. In the next SL game we had Westerman kicking, so presumably he won that.

I asked the question last night,apparently hes staying,i asked about the boots the reply i got was that he get plenty from his sponsors and hes always giving them away

Was impressed with him yesterday and did anyone notice that he was the only one that went with Briscoe when he went clear.

Think its an injustice to say he is a distinctly average winger.. he ticks all the boxes for me whilst being workmanlike and very honest in his effort, he does nothing spectacular like Tb but lets be honest TB is a freak of a winger isnt he.
Better than sharp IMO and makes few mistakes .. good young kid and i definately will look upon him warmly when we play against him in the future as he has worked very hard for FC and seems a cracking kid too (apart from my youngest had his hair done like his last week)
