RUMOUR Did Brodie Croft just become a Bronco over brunch at a Sydney cafe?

[Foordy]

Yep, but then lost said GF and can't make the top side the following year. That'll do wonders for his confidence.

He played 22 match this year in which the Storm won the minor premiership by the length of the straight

Everyone can have an off night but I would wait for a GF performance to say yay or nay.

Sezer has played like this for a few seasons. Ask any raiders fan. He’s not a controlling half

 

[Super Freak]

This will be unpopular in here but I'm going to say this again to all the braindead idiots in this forum who think Croft is the saviour to our problems. We already have a young inexperienced spine which needs a leader so what does the club and Seibold do, go sign another inexperienced half. Let's be real, Croft has had ample opportunity for over 2 years to show the storm that he belongs in first grade there and he hasn't done that which is why the storm are happy to get rid of him. His defence is not that great and kicking game is not that flash either to those who think he has a superior kicking game. If you want further evidence as to why croft is not that good look up @mitchd90 on twitter who seems to know his stuff

Yeah I saw those videos.. But the problem with those is that he only highlights the parts that suit his agenda. You can make any player look terrible doing that. And just like with the Sezer video, only highlights the parts that suit his agenda, he doesn't include everything else.

I am curious as to why you're sitting here calling people brain dead idiots for wanting Croft and yet you talk up a guy that's praising Sezer despite Sezer being no different to Croft.. The only reason Sezer is even in first grade at the moment is because they don't have anyone else. Next season, he'll be back in reserve grade. You would think if he was so good, he wouldn't have that problem.

But there is a reason why he does have that problem, it's because he just isn't that good. Very inconsistent and doesn't really stand up in the big games.

Yeah, call everyone brain dead idiots for wanting Croft and then praise a guy that wants Sezer.

Yeah I understand this, but his recent form has been good. He was not terrible last night but I would like to see how he goes in the GF, that can make/break a man.

And then got dropped at the business end of the season.

That was almost exclusively because of Papenhuyzen suddenly becoming a top 5 Fullback in the NRL, short of that happening, Croft would still be Halfback. They pretty much had to make a choice out of Croft & Hughes, and they went with Hughes.

We're not brain dead, we're brain relocated

 

[M.B.88]

who do you suggest mate?

croft isn’t a world beater, but as long as he keeps Dearden out of the team (so he can develop in QCup) I think he’s probably the best available.

*because apparently the club doesn’t rate SoS

I don't rate him either. He's way too erratic

 

[M.B.88]

Yep, if that is what the Broncs are paying for him, that is a steal. Not breaking the bank and if he is a bust, nothing lost. If he is a gun, absolute bargain!

We will be paying at least 450 first year

 

[M.B.88]

Sezer in a big game - plays but goes missing.
Croft - doesn't even get a gig in the big games.

Great bloody choice we have.

Mate. He's iced golden point field goals and match winning tries.

 

[M.B.88]

You realise Croft has played a GF right? ... No bigger club game than that

And a world club challenge

Confirmation bias 101

You’ve determined that in 5 matches?

Which says it all really, hughes isn't a half back . Maybe something went on behind the scenes who knows but there's questions to be asked.

Do I have anything else to go off?

How was Croft's first 5 games?

erratic is just a weird way to describe someone after such a small sample size

 

[Galah]

Is Hughes better in defence? That’s the only reason I can think of as to why he is dropped. They don’t need his playmaking anymore because of paps so they figured they would sure up their edge defence. Just an observation.

maybe Hughes gets on better with Smith ... The Storms problem will be when Smith leaves there won't be an organiser in their spine anymore.

from the reports i've read, Croft is a decent game manager ... he just doesn't get to show it as much at the Storm, because Smith demands that role
