What happened to him personally i wouldn't wish on anyone.

In general as a "1st choice prop" i don't think he's what we need he's neither a big minutes type who bangs with & without the ball nor is he 25 minute each half type who destroys all in front of him.

We need another Prop who packs a punch or a couple of destructive backrowers.

He'll get my full support whilst here but like Ferres i dont think he's good enough.

Greenwood is & would be more than good enough to get into this team as would Edwards at Catalans.

So again, who would you have brought in halfway through the season?

Crosby has a deal in place to go somewhere next year so this is simply a loan. according to local media anyhow

Not according to Sinfield. Sinfield said he had been offered longer term deals elsewhere but wanted to try and earn a deal here, or words to that effect.

right. see how he goes then

So basically he's got offers from SL sides (most likely low end) for next year in his back pocket, but could earn a deal with us if he plays OK? I see no downside.





I'd far rather try that than offer long deals to some NRL wannabee. Whilst Peteru's injury is unfortunate, we currently have zero evidence that Peteru is any better than Crosby do we, but he got two years (or whatever) on spec.

I agree, he may be worth a deal for next year, depending on how much cap space it uses up. At least we get a look first.

I suspect it depends if the team in question retains it's place in the competition.

Does that narrow it down?

He's not a bad forward. Good enough to improve our pack at the moment.

no idea Matt. a journo on Twitter said it

Salford

some players just don't fit into a coaches system and that might be crosbys case at wigan and wire but our lack of a plan anywhere on the pitch might just suit his style

Where does this come from about Wigan? He was a brilliant player at Wigan. He had just won a GF before he left. He left for more money on the contract Warrington thew at him. Shame for the lad that he hit the issue he did, which I would imagine would effect just about any player with a soul. That not been the case, I doubt anyone would be talking about him in a derogatory manner.

Brilliant?? Wow you hammer people on here who rate players you dont then describe Bing as "Brilliant".

Also being under whelmed by his arrival is hardly derogatory.

Indeed, Southstander has a proud history of being underwhelmed by arriving players.



I think someone described Kylie Leuluai as a "Christmas turkey ready for stuffing"

Don't get touchy Mark, I wasn't aiming at you, it was to various. And ok, lets just say he was one of Wigan's better players then, and that was a successful grand final winning team at the time. The point still remains, he was never the poor player some are making out, he has hit an issue since, and who knows he may well not get it back, but he certainly wasn't poor previously.

just to put a bit of background on his time the h&J, we were quite surprised that he signed for us, like has been mentioned they beat us in the GF that year, but he also appeared to be a role playing prop, which worked well in wigan's system, it was a bit of a puzzler, though we had been down on props in 2016, sims and hill got us to the GF supported by an injured all year mitch dodds, ben evans was out injured and ben harrison, we ended up recruiting bailey and cox late on in pre season. so i think prop was a key area for tony smith.



As mentioned, he had a his family issue last year, which was terrible, but he had already missed a fair bit of time before that, he got a head knock in our opener against catalans and missed several weeks, he kept picking up little knocks and missing weeks, on the odd occasion he got on the field he looked alright, then came the off field stuff. He made a return from that a few weeks after and you could see his head wasn't there, he played awful and picked up another knock. The club told him to take as much time as he wanted with his missus. and missed the rest of last year, somehow injuring his shoulder in the process requiring an offseason surgery.



Steve Price came in and dom was one of the lead senior players in early pre season, we ended up getting told in january that steve price was hugely impressed with him and probably was the star of pre season and was expecting a big year for him. But again, he's been in 1 week and out 3.



He's just not going with us, under tony smith he probably would have got a contract extension for next year, but under price we're being incredibly strict, there's been rumours in league express about him joining both salford and hull kr.



Its a puzzler now cos we've not got the biggest squad and were already struggling slightly, george king has always been limited but he's been left behind by joe philbin this year, and you'd rather not see his name on the team sheet.



Personally i hope he gets on the field and gets some decent playing time for you guys.

To be fair that comment was probably made in jest - I recall there was a southstander caption competition in which Kylie was wearing a Santa hat, pictured alongside GH.



The resident wind-up merchant on the forum had been doing a good job of highlighting the lack of NRL games he had played prior to joining Leeds.

Played well tonight albeit against a poor Widnes pack.

Be interesting to see how he settles.

Looking like Crosby wants to make the move permanent. Must not have a anything set in stone elsewhere?

I saw that. It would seem he hasn't actually signed for anyone else yet. We might have got to him after he's received an offer but not signed it.

From a Wigan perspective, I always thought Dom a good solid prop. He's never likely to be the star of your pack but neither will he let you down. If he's over his injury/personal problems he'll go well for you in a dependable, understated way. Wigan would have kept him but Warrington offered much more money.
