I will not be getting my hopes up just yet, albeit he is most certainly the caliber of signing we should be after.

Also croft is the current MOS isn’t he?

Yeah for the next week or so

Croft would make a lot of sense,the rumours have been persistant, The timing after would seem right as most of the non qualifiers would have had an end of season break, He looks like a RS type of half, (takes on the line and strong in defence), Was off to Leigh last week!! Well thats only a vowel and a two constanents away from Leeds:-)
Fingers x'd for this one.

So Croft looks to be the right bracket of signing, just remember Luke Gale was also ex MoS and I thought he was generally a crap signing for us.

I’m not surprised this one has come around again TBH but am glad to see it. Fingers crossed we get him and Momirovski/ someone similar, and then maybe that domestic product prop so that we have 6 real props for rotation and depth.

He did help us win our last piece of silverware though

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Oct 03, 2023 3:21 pm  

he would be a magnificent signing. but smith would have to change tack and send the forwards out to dominate. he didn't seem to want to play that way this year. if he does then croft could be a harris type signing, if not it wont matter who plays 7

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour thread V4 : Tue Oct 03, 2023 3:25 pm  

Would be an amazing signing. Him and Momorovski would put us in a great picture for next year.

I still think we need an experienced prop (who would also have to be non-quoa). Doesn't have to be a world-beater, but someone to take a bit of pressure off Mik and Holroyd to allow them to develop, and to take some of the hard yards.

Luke Gale came back to leeds off the back of a serious injury which cant be forgotten.

And was much older than Croft

Matt Shaw's article states the only likely stumbling block would be whether Croft would want to come. I'm pretty confident that we wouldn't have even made an offer if we didn’t know the answer. Looks encouraging this one.

Yeah agree AC. Surely we’ve sounded his agent out initially. We’re still a very attractive club to play for, we have everything, just need to get the roster sorted.

Croft, that centre abd a hard hitting prop would be huge.

Fingers crossed
