More like making the best of a bad job, I suspect.

| Quote: Sir Gregory ParsloeP "Blease is big mates with Hastings , so I guess if Croft goes it could well be Jacko in, I hope Croft stays'"
I would not be surprised if Croft stays for 25 with Hastings replacing him in 26. I also think Blease might have one eye on the fortunes of Will Pryce.

| Quote: rugbyleague88 "There's no way an NRL club will pay £150-200k for Croft. Leeds can play hardball all they want, but it will just delay recruiting a replacement.
How much did we get for Segeyaro, Nene, Eastwood? A new partnership with an NRL club.'"
And how much had we just paid in transfer fees for those?

| Some people really don't know how Rugby League economics work. St George are desperate, they will pay if they want Croft.

| If Croft wants to leave we'll eventually have to just suck it up, but as a business it would be insane to not force as much compensation as possible.
The argument that we should let a player go because he won't want to play for us again is valid, but so is acting in the best interests of the club financially. I'd also argue the Arthur factor would outweigh any negativity associated with Leeds simply enforcing their rights to not deregister a player just because it suits them.
By the way, I'm not sure Croft would necessarily want to join the Dragons. St George need a replacement for Hunt. Croft is not the lead playmaker they need - someone like Hastings would make more sense. The whole reason Croft left the NRL is because the last time an NRL team tried to make him the centre of the team he collapsed under the pressure. Even at Leeds we've seen that he isn't comfortable as the main organiser.

| They need an organiser, fine. Frawley plus a modest transfer fee and everyone is happy.
Or they could throw silly money at Harry Smith, if they need a kicking game.

Yes i totally agree on that but i think he's lost his way of late and he's not as good as he was. I rate Hetherington very highly and i always have fwiw.

And Blease has said there's nothing in the Croft rumour having spoken to his agent.

Agree with this but Gary understood this himself hence he appointed Ian Blease to change direction.

And I'm sure that will dissapoint a few who seem to relish alleged "bad news" stories. Anyway, have we signed Bateman yet?

| How bad is the Miller injury? Likely to miss the start of the season?
