Castlefords former Hull centre Ben Crooks says he will have a point to prove when he runs out against his old club at the KC Stadium on Thursday night. The 22-year-old had the world at his feet two years ago after being named Super Leagues young player of the year and earning a place in the 2013 Dream Team alongside his prolific wing partner Tom Lineham.But his form deserted him in 2014 and, after spending the second half of the season on dual registration at Doncaster and losing his enjoyment for the game, he quit the Black and Whites to try his luck in Australia. Crooks fortunes failed to improve with the move, however, and after failing to break into Parramattas NRL team, he returned to Super League on a three-year deal with his home-town club Castleford. Daryl Powell says Hull FC will prove Castleford Tigers biggest challenge to date Now, two games into the season and with his enthusiasm renewed, he is relishing the prospect of facing his old club.It was the very first fixture I looked out for, said Crooks. I havent been back to the KC since I left. Im glad its come early so I can get it out of the way and crack on with the rest of the year.It wasnt ideal how it ended but theres no hard feelings. Now Ive come back from Australia, Im really enjoying my rugby again and Im just looking forward to going back there and showing what kind of player I actually am. Hull FC v Castleford Three key battles in Thursdays Super League clash Hull were 11th in Super League when Crooks left them 18 months ago but Castleford coach Daryl Powell is not surprised to see them sitting top of the embryonic table after winning their opening two matches in emphatic fashion.I thought they would go well, Powell said. If you look at their recruitment, you have got to say it has been pretty good. They were really good against Catalans and they put Salford away pretty easily.This is our biggest test so far. We have talked a lot about top four and these are the defining moments when you play against teams like this, even though it is still early days.
