NEWS A case of what if?

[Mum-the-meatloaf]

Bodie Croft has signed an 8 year deal with Salford after winning practically every award he could in the super league.

Is the SL really that far below NRL or did we not utilise/break him?

I always wanted to see him succeed, seems like a good kid.

And with my tin fail hat on, I note - we were meant to play the Tigers or someone in round 3 and then a mid level team round 4. And when the comp resumed we went Penrith, eels or something stupid like that.

It's like the NRL wanted to take the legs out from under us.

There was zero need to change the draw.

Croft also had the shoulder dislocation when scoring a try that he didn't recover well from.

another tinfoil hat moment is that the rule changes suited some teams better,in particular a certain western sydney team.

he failed at the Storm so was always going to find it hard in struggling team.
i think SL is definitely a way off NRL and has a bigger focus on attack , and Aussies (especially halves) tend to shine there.

I'm happy Croft is doing well, could never fault his effort, it just didn't work out for him.

I don't think he is NRL standard, atleast until he can play at a high standard not looking overwhelmed with pressure.

That is his biggest problem imo, it's his mindset the ability is there but he buckled big time here and at storm.

He won’t ever experience that level of pressure again though. Replacing Cronk at Storm and being the halfback of a Brisbane Broncos team experiencing truly sucking for the first time ever. That’s as rough as it gets

Bit like the QRL.....everyone's a superstar, when nobody knows how to tackle you.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Nah, the gap between NRL and Super League just is that big.

Good highlight reel from 2022 - happy for him

I withdraw my previous statement. St Helens are currently making Merge look like hot garbage.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Well.......I guess its good for a confidence builder, playing against defence like that.

He would have left here a pretty shattered man.

 

[heartly87]

Some good highlights there. He looks elite but the defence is horrible and he looks to have all the time in the world to make his play. Good for him to be honest, I would have loved for him to go well here but the timing wasn't right. He may come back a better player but when you can have fun like that playing footy for money, what would be the point?

wrong thread lol

To be fair St Helens is the best team in England by a big margin given they have won the last 4 seasons in a row, I suspect they would be close or at lower table NRL level teams.
