He is quite well set up for after the game isn’t he so maybe part of his transition.

So with only Pratty playing regular first team football and Crofty not looking like he will make muster seems we will be signing a couple of centres maybe?

Or already have just waiting to announce them

I think Thornley has done well for us so far this year but I don't think he would be quite up to Super League next year if we get there.

I also can't see Croft making it as a SL player, but I wouldn't be against keeping him as back up. If the rumours are true, he'd likely be fourth choice behind Pratt, Scott and Hall. But we always seem to suffer more injuries than most in three quarters so he'd add a bit of depth and wouldn't be too out of place if we needed him for a handful of games.

I've always thought Croft has done well when called upon, but he clearly isn't fancied given we played a young full back in the centre position last week.

Yeah Croft is a strange one really, its 4 coaches in a row now who don't seem to fancy him. Personally I always felt he was a touch to small for a centre and not quick enough for a winger

Same and having watched Scott and once or twice I’d probably rather keep Croft. There’s not much difference between the two.

Croft for some reason isn’t getting the chances but seems to do a solid job when called upon.

That's not entirely true, one Coach fancied him as a SL centre and gave him quite a few 1st team appearances following that 1st game he had against Saints

scored a good try too. If i remember rightly.

This season he’s scored and set up a few. Even played better than Pratt for the odd game. I think it’s just a case that Powell really does rate Pratt highly. And tbf he will be a good SL centre and is building up valuable experience this year.

Croft played 2nd row in the last reserve game, and threw a nice cut out pass for the winger to score, wonder if the coaches see him as having a future there? Not named in tonight's reserve team
