NEWS Pursuit over as Broncos finally get their man

[Sproj]

I like this so much. Croft may turn out to be a dud but he won’t be on a fortune and he is absolutely worth the risk. Hopefully he fulfills his potential and Dearden comes on as expected. If so, we can save that wasted million on Milford and give it to our generational players in Haas and Fifita or get a gun fullback.

We have 2 legit halves options in our whole top 30.

Plus, Turpin will never be seen i

#FaithinSeibs! You even have your avatar sorted!

Absolutely love it Tom!

1. Niu/Isaako/Milford/Bird
6. Milford/Paix/Bird/Staggs
7. Croft/Dearden/Milford/Paix
9. Turpin/Macca/Paix

At least there are a few option in the 7 now.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Croft/SOS/Deardon, not a bad little group to pick a 7 from.

 

[M.B.88]

Oh no.

What makes this a good signing?

Seriously? Look back over the countless threads and posts about this... FFS.

It's a very good signing for us in the position we're in. Couldn't be more perfect

Great signing. 2 years is good. Not paying overs, is a proper half who can kick and also take the line on too. No need for Boyd to play in halves and also Milf doesn't have to be our sole playmaker (never should be). Great for Deardens development too.
Still ?? On FB cause I expect Milf to go back to 6 now. Bird and Staggs at centre so hopefully Boyd is in QLD cup

 

[pennywisealfie]

awesome:

1. Milf
2. Isaako
3. Shibasaki
4. Staggs
5. Oates
6. Boyd
7. Turpin
8. Lodge
9. McCullough
10. Haas
11. Fifita
12. Glenn
13. Bird

14. Croft
15. Ofahengaue
16. Carrigan
17. Flegler

Prem 7 confirmed.

An underrated positive about this signing is that genuine halves depth = Milford facing legitimate competition for his position for the first time in his entire NRL career. He's never really had anyone breathing down his neck before, the closest would've been Nikorima off the bench when we had Hunt, but he was always more of a utility than a threat to unseat Milford at Five-Eighth.

If Dearden is as good as the club thinks he is, he's going to be carving up the ISC, I also think Croft & Dearden are interchangeable and could potentially both play in the halves together if it came down to it. They're both good defensively for their size & age, they've both got accurate kicking games, they're both more than capable of running the football, same goes for O'Sullivan once he's back.

Additionally, Milford is getting close to the end of his current contract and is playing for his future with the club, if we're ever going to get the best out of Milford, it's going to be this season. He simply has to perform.

Well that's a relief. Excellent news.

 

[broncsgoat]

Honestly this is depressing. Not the signing, the reaction to it. He’s a plodder that’s Melbourne don’t want, bonza.
Hope he lives up to the hype

 

[Broncapz]

We're legit a powerhouse team considering we still have Boyd and Macca on the books.

How can we both support the same team but yet fundamentally disagree on every single thing in the universe.

I just don't get it

Just a little teaser for your viewing pleasure and to wet our lips for what we have to look forward to in 2020 if he can recreate this type of effort

Milf , dearden, paix, sos and now Croft

 

[Dee]

Ok.

If Croft couldn't make it in the Storm system then what makes you think he'll make it in ours? Is he a proven winner in the number 7?

Well he was a winger

 

[Sirlee oldman]

The reality is that Croft is the best 7 that’s available and affordable. We now have depth in the halves and a realistic shot at the top 4 next year if we don’t have too many injuries.
