Honestly ive been trying to watch this 'next big thing' kid for 2 yrs, is he injury prone or unlucky or?
Same thing with Cummins before he left.. seemed like 2 straight seasons he was out.
Spoke tonight with a kid who played 20s for us last year, he said Crook came back from his ACL in the first few rounds, but due to the form of young Clune (who represented NSW U16s a couple of years ago) he's been kept out of the side, now playing for Corrimal Cougars. Not sure what affect the injury had on him, but I watched him with interest last year and he was a weapon.
Based on the weekend, the team could use him, as their 5th tackle options were bad and they lacked someone straightening the attack. We've got him signed til end of next year, so hopefully he gets a run soon, if he has regained his speed after the ACL I'd hate to lose him.
