Brodie Croft

[Needaname]

Since they let Brooks go they may as well hold out for a real organising half.

They may have to get creative and even look at luring someone already contracted.

Bailey Hayward is decent. Not sure why he isn’t being looked at.

Heard today the Tigers are considering Brodie Croft. I would be interested at the right price. Jackson Hastings came back better, I didn't want Hastings to go but that is another thread. Your thoughts on bring Croft back ?

No

The Tigers recruitment are just throwing darts at a dartboard at the.moment. no halves around and any that are don't want a bar of the place. 2024 will be a write off again.

Just like the Chair & CEO did by recruiting Scott Fulton to head up recruitment - because "magical thinklng" that HE as a direct recruiter would personally attract top grade talent??

HOW???

Fulton can't hide - deflect or sugar-coat this basket-case club management to his own family - let alone any established network of players!!

BUT - we are somehow led to believe he is that GREAT at his job that it needed to be treated like a state secret - EVEN to our own football department....

FMD!!

Talk about rats jumpng on board a sinking ship!!

Would you contemplate returning from another country, where you were awarded player of the year, have a nice long contract and are quite comfortable, to come back on a one year deal.
Are you insane !
Come on mate, you’re usually a lot sharper than that.

I agree that he wouldn't come back on a one year deal. Based on his career to date and our situation, that's what he's worth.

What he was worth, but all indications are that he’s not the player we remember.
Minimum 3 years.

Zero chance even 2 year deal I read his deal over there long term. He has a NRL get out clause providing The Nrl club pay a transfer fee . Also I read his trys and try assists numbers are very good over there . My guess is its all about preferred lifestyle being where does he prefer to live. The answer to that I don't know .
Problem our "loserville " reputation is well known even over there.
Given we don't have any good halves I'd like him but doubtful he would come .

I thought we wanted an upgrade on Brooks

 

[loklok]

It's a no for me

 

[colinbh]

It's a no for me

Sheens said that Croft on the radar Holbrook not.

 

[hsvjones]

Happy to give him a shot as he is better than Wakeham and Smith.. People need to remember there is very limited top line plyers out there and we are not the most desirable club ATM

To be specific HSV, I think we can categorically state that we are the most undesirable club in the League.

 

[The Sniffer]

Clear upgrade on decade long loser Brooks, not that thats hard though.

Better than Wakeham and Smith. Give him 2-3 year deal.

 

[GCfan]

Brodie Croft is the Wish version of Brooks!

The grass is not always greener....

I believe Jedi warned of this situation. I’ll laugh my arse off if we end up paying somebody like Croft more than we offered Brooks after all this.

When jedi warns, i listen.

 

[4jtigers]

might as well put the highlights reel here:

😆

 

[matchball]

He would be mad to leave a 6 year deal paid in £'s for Australian pesos and playing for back to back spooners.

We won't be offering anything close to that security.

Clear upgrade? I don’t think so, just more of the same, imo. Was in the Storm system, famous for turning bog average players into stars, but he never improved above average, played even worse with the Broncos. If Bellamy couldn’t improve his game then I doubt Sheens or Benji could, but that’s just my opinion.

 

[weststigerman]

On a Wakeham style contract yes, but not for what he's currently earning in England.

He is the closest thing in terms of not delivering on potential to Brooks.

 

[Fallen Angel]

I think I might just pack it in if this is what the club is shooting for. Years and years of Brooks bashing and how we needed to move on, only to move on to Brodie Croft or Aiden Seizer? God damn, standards aren’t high in this joint are they.
