My source has been away on holiday and only got back at the weekend so not had a chance to pester them about the on going Brodie Croft saga.
The update they had for me doesn't sound ideal, Brodie Crofts agent is pushing for a NRL deal and a release from his Leeds contract now obviously this isn't good news for us as losing our marquee halfback who we payed thousands of pounds for a release from his salford contract and pay him roughly £350,000 a season isn't great at all especially 2 weeks out from pre season as well.
The club is standing firm that Croft isn't for sale unless St George basically do what we did 12 months ago and buy Croft out of his contract.
It's a shame about this as Croft is a key part in our team and will probably be even better than he was for us under Brad Arthur, however this risk was always gonna be there as Croft and his NRL clauses in his contracts have been no secret. Personally to me it seems like Croft will be leaving if the Dragons are willing to pay for him and let's be honest they have plenty of Cap losing Lomax & Hunt 2 of their big earners plus the NRL salary cap dwarfs SL salary cap as we all know. Nothing is concrete yet hoping to get more updates in weeks to come

If it is the case I hope we have a clause in the deal that says we get first refusal should he decide to come back to SL.
Or does that only apply if he was contracted to us and we receive a fee?
Like others have said it might be a bit soon for him to try his luck out there something Arthur referred to when it first came about.
He?s off contract, we can?t put any clauses or anything in his future contract whatsoever. I?m not sure it?s fair giving him stick about ?loyalty?. It?s a short career and he will have been offered very good money to go play in the best RL competition in the world and go experience living in a different country before he has a family to think about. Good luck to him I say, he?ll go well over there, and if he does it probably guarantees him an England squad place for the WC. I don't think anybody is giving him stick, at least on here, but I but do think it's fair to be dissapointed in his decision to leave now, especially in the context of the last couple of years where the club has gone the extra mile in protecting his long term health. For the record, I've always thought he would be a world class player, and he think he'll become one in the NRL. However, I do wonder if the Warriors are the right club for any English player trying to make it over there. I really hope he leaves the Rhinos on good terms, because I thought you could sense Arthur's dissapointment at yesterday's presser. I don?t think the Warriors is the right club either to be honest. |

How much of a mutual decision was the decision to stand Gannon down last season? Could Gannon be unhappy about the club about it?
Either way, good luck to him. I suppose it's something we have to thank Agar for

Really disappointing if true, he looks to be getting over the injury problems, and will clearly be a top player. As others have said, I think it?s a bit young to go over, and doubt he?ll be playing first grade for the first couple of seasons at least.
No doubt the signing is linked with Agar being at the Warriors. He originally touted Gannon as a generational talent, so must have given a strong recommendation.
What are our back row prospects coming out the academy at the minute? Any on the verge of breaking into the first team in the next couple of years to take Gannons spot?
