Croft was starting to put some good performances together for us back end of season. He certainly put on some muscle too. I was expecting him to become a good SL centre in a couple of seasons. Think he will go well at Brisbane feeder.

Loan to who ? Another competing championship team ? Think Croft and shaw show we are already looking at players for next season. Both be decent in championship and hopefully if we do get promoted will have a year of first team under their belts

The thing that I don't get is that at the end of last season neither player was deemed good enough to be offered enough money for them to accept and now 6 months later they are. Its a bit like with Luke Gale, he was available before the start of the season yet we chose not to sign him then now all of a sudden he is being built up to be the savior. Now all 3 signings may work out but it seems like very poor planning.

Regarding Croft , I think it wasn't obvious then how poor Lyne, Taufua and Langi would turn out plus we then lose Hall. I thought he was at a suitable level to replace Lyne this season and was sad to see him go.

Could say similar about Gale.

Shaw would be the only one where we are planning for The Championship. That's not even considering the rumours regarding him being tapped up for elsewhere.

I don't think they are poor signings, especially Croft and Gale but they should have been made before the season started, not halfway through

Loan? Never mentioned a loan. Dual contract as in offers contractually for both SL or Championship if beyond 2023. Perhaps you thought I meant dual registration.

It doesn’t show we are looking at next season with Croft as he’s only signed till end of this season. That very much shows we are focusing on this season and the club think he can help performances. This is what some fans have been calling for.

Shaw hasn’t signed officially so at the minute it doesn’t show anything. If he or Croft do sign beyond 2023 then I’d be happy with both in either the championship (they would be good players in championship) or superleague. I do agree on that part.
