Croft has been fine. And you can't just get rid of him, Leeds will want a transfer fee or another player lined up to replace him.

We definitely should be going nowhere near Arthur's sons.

Tom Amone has apparently signed a short term deal at Castleford,effective immediately.
He is rumoured to be joining Hull KR from 2026 (According to Matt Shaw)
He would be a fantastic replacement for Sam Lazyoney

Does anybody know  by what date Croft has to trigger his release clause in order to go back in 26? His departure would be the only scenario that would see us shopping for a half back in the NRL, in my opinion. 

I Believe jake Arthur?s contract ends at end of this year at manly and BA has previously said in interviews that they are coming over to uk at end of NRL season surely it?s a possibility that Jake signs for us as a replacement for frawley 

Interesting point, what if only one of BA's kids were in the NRL, and the other in SL. Then what would he do?

Easy. Go where his favourite is. Everyone has one, don't they. 

Tempting as it might seem, I think it would be a mistake to try and buy the Arthur's. Any quota spots need to be filled with the best players we can get in the positions most in need of strengthening. Frawley isn't even a starting half back, and for my money we should be trying to develop Connor and Croft as a partnership with Sinfield in the wings. Even if we were confident that Jake or Matt Arthur were players with the ability to provide the finishing touches to the squad it would still be a  risk. What would the other players make of it, if they were dropped for the bosses son? BA might end up losing the dressing room very quickly in such a scenario. 

I don't mind Croft.
We need an organising 7 that can kick us around the park.


I'd happily lose Bentley if have Watkins,Gannon , McDonnell with Palasia and the other aussie able to play there too *if* we can sign the type of prop we have needed since Kylie retired.


Connor can cover most of the backs, Sivo should make an impact next year.
Biggest worry is 7 and 9 atm for me.

Isn't Connor, who has been the most creative player on the park for us this season, exactly that 7. He's completely wasted in any other position. Totally agree about the 9 though.

Keep croft and our first priority is 9

New 1 year deal for Mcdonell
