I've heard Cas are favourites to sign Crooks, with Inu off to Cats with Hull chasing big Franky Pritchard's signature.

3 absolute exclusives right there... not.

Ben Crookes : Fri Jun 19, 2015 10:19 am  

Ben Crookes currently at Paramatta Eels but not played a game. Hull have released his english registration.

Worth a punt?

Good, young English centre who can kick goals??

Listen S£!T for brains, I come on this forum to chat about Wigan RL and other rugby matters, there's no possible way I know if fans are aware of who's signing who, so if I hear something (which falls under the category of rumours and signings) I'll add them for others to see.

So refrain from making such stupid not needed or helpful comments. STUPID F$%KWIT

Something happened at Hull last season and he fell out with Radford, which I'd imagine wouldn't be too difficult to do. He was in the Super League Dream Team in 2013 IIRC. So it's a bit of a no brainer. I'd imagine every Super League team (bar probably Leeds and Saints) would be interested. I think his father might be advising Cas as his likely destination though.

Some guy on Facebook claiming that we are about to announce the signing of Kevin Locke to play Fullback for the rest of the season, he then said that Locke would replace Burgess on the wing with Charnley going into the centres due to Sargy going to union, also stated that we are in for Paterika Vaivai and also looking at Martin Taupau, anybody else heard any of this?

Taupau would probably command marquee level wages but we've used them on Sam. He was in ridiculous form over the weekend so I'm sure someone in the NRL would snap him up.

I would say he's the type of signing we are crying out for.

Yeah rumoured to be heading to Castleford but that the obvious link.

It does say that there are two other rival clubs looking at him.

Hope it is us and we can put to bed the Chris Bridge rumours

Jut checking who the current Eels centres (would he presumably couldn't get past) are.

Will Hopoate, of course! Current Origin centre and a class act all round. No shame in being upstaged by him. The other one is Brad Takairangi, who I've never thought was all that, but opinions in the NRL may differ.
