No Source CROFT

[GA45]

I got another similarity….

Both fucking shit and don’t belong in nrl.

Id take Croft over Flanno just because it means no more @Flanagun

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Any relation to Lara ??

 

[Mitch Connor]

He is absolute garbage

 

[dogsballs]

Sorry but i disagree....

For me, the only upgrade on Flanagan would be Cleary, Keary, Hughes, DCE, Hunt, Reynolds, Townsend and Hynes

Problem is we are Buckley's getting any of them

Only similarities between Croft & Flanagan is they both broke down in tears infront of the media

I would include Mitchell Moses and Sam Walker

 

[Moedogg]

I've had enough of rejects....

He literally came out a few days ago (with a quote from a podcast) saying he loves life in Salford at the moment and intends to honour his 2 year deal.

Salford Red Devils star Brodie Croft makes huge future admission following incredible Super League form - Serious About Rugby League

If there is one Super League signing that has been in inspired form in 2022 then it is Salford Red Devils star Brodie Croft. The livewire halfback has built quite a reputation for himself at the AJ Bell Stadium after arriving on a deal from Brisbane Broncos where he was often in the public eye. […]

“Now that I’ve come over here, I’m on a two-year deal at the moment, but I’m not looking anywhere past that and I’m focusing on the now and whatever happens can happen with the enjoyment I’ve brought back to my game.”

“Hey gus yeah good thanks you? Yeah doing well here…huh? The starting halfback role for an NRL club? Nah I’d like to stay in fucking Salford thanks”

If Bellamy couldn’t get the best out of him I don’t think anybody else can

 

[OldDogFan]

Croft playing Super League while Flanagan is playing NRL, and you call that an upgrade?

Fml

Player swap... that's a fair call.

One of the big sticking points for me liking Flanagan (dealing with him being in the side) is that his defence is excellent for a half, best in the comp arguably.

So if you are going to replace him with another half, we need to make sure it's a significant upgrade or someone who will be nuturing long term, otherwise we will just be fucking around for a few more years

 

[OldDogFan]

If we are to keep Flanagan who do we have to teach him the important No.7 stuff?

 

[Bazildog]

its Flange in fancy dress...

 

[S.B.W_Jnr]

Is he playing better than George Williams in the ESL ?

His defence and effort are excellent and he is fully invested in every game

If he could learn to lead a team around and get to a Chad Townsend level in attack then we would have our 7 for a long time.

Townsend is a good steady player and that's the level of 7 that we need, especially with all the flair we will have next year with Fox, Burton, Mahoney, Kikau etc.

I don't see why they Ciraldo and the new coaching staff can't help him get there

I don't even know if we are legitimately looking to replace Flanno at this point.

 

[habs]

Matthew johns said he was the next cooper cronk.

 

[Robbothedestroyer]

Barrett said Flanagan was the next Cleary lol

 

[piggy]

I would include Mitchell Moses and Sam Walker

Surely Mitchell Moses is someone the club is closely looking at....realistically is the best option in terms of age and quality...he seems not very highly regarded by many on this forum but he has quality in his game....yes he hasnt always being consistent but when he is on his game he adds do much in terms of his orgsnisation kicking running and defensive game...would take alot of pressure off Burton

 

[speedy2460]

The halfback we need (whoever he is) is the one who will lead the team around.
We really don't have anyone doing it.

 

[Baby Blues]

I would rather see us play BBO than go after this dud

 

[D0GMATIC]

Well he steered Brisbane to a wooden spoon and got the punt. I'd say no

Averillo steered us to the spoon in 2021 and got the 7 jersey in 2022 . . .
