Stsrting to look something like and with Myler, Simpson, McDonnell, Goudemand, Sinfield, Hudson, Roberts, Ruan and others in the squad.

You've done it now, naming your 17 before the inks on the paper

I'm not sure that the length of contract Croft signed with salford was anything more than 'gimmick' and designed to command a fee for a transfer away from the club. The length of contract is pretty unheard of and to go aiming for another long (5 year) contract with his next club would never have been heard of I don't think? Maybe I'm being cynical but I just can't envisage the aspiration to stay at Salford for that long, or maybe they did sell the project well to him.

Agreeing with Seth (for once), the length of the deal did look suspicous he still left the NRL under a cloud and has to be a risk, as an outsider I say take it but others may disagree.

Still scope for a third, non quota, marquee player to come in I think.

On your head be it, Jim.

Croft, Burgess and Momirovski would do nicely.
Come on Leeds, make it happen.

Croft to Leeds has always made sense. We’ll see - I think in an emergency there are others in Queensland Cup or whatever that could do a job.

Doesn’t look like RS wants Myler in the run-on side.

We are going to look and feel very different in 2024.

yea very different, I actually think Lachy Miller will actually be the surprise success, we have been crying out for a decent broken field runner with pace for years.

Now the news is out we've bid for croft we have to get him. Otherwise we'll look in an awful state and have to pick up a bargain bin halfback from somewhere else.

The bloke was a starting NRL fullback for half of this year. Why would that be a surprise?!

Difference being wage demands - if Ackers and Lafai aren't well paid there is less reason to get rid

You've been here all of 5 minutes, give it chance. I've had curries that hung around longer and they didn't agree with me either.
