Croft was being absolutely blasted by Braith. And everything Braith said was true, as much as I can't stand his commentary. Everything poor old Croft does is pre meditated whether it's on or not.
When Dearden came on, you could see instantly that even though he had a plan, he'd look up at the defensive line and would then decide what to do. It is split second stuff but it makes the difference whether a play has a chance of working or not. He passed once into a gap, he held the ball, and he drove the forwards down the field. It's all you can ask for, and before he scored the try I knew I want him there next week.
Croft offers absolutely nothing. Except good hair, he has that I suppose.
