Man’s more than a crook maybe (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staffs

'more than a crook maybe' is the definition.
(more than one crook, a staff used by a bishop)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for staffs that I've seen before include "Employees" , "Poles" , "Where Tamworth is" , "sticks" , "County (abbreviation)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
