For me if where using last of our budget on chase i think it could be better spent elsewhere but im not cc or mc or any of the other coaching staff and they know better than me.i would feel for young croft felt he was getting better with every game that said chase is on his day a decent player and cant help but think he would create for tommy who is our world class finisher.

Nethertheless its all rumours at mo

Personally I think that because next season we'll have a lot to prove, so I'd prefer Stanley's experience over Croft. I'm sure that the young 'un will have his day.

Just seen Chase Stanley doing donuts in super bowl car park so it must be true

Is he not a centre oppossed to S/O

Says centre, wing and five eighth on his profiles but I’d certainly agree he’s predominantly a centre.

Not sure about this one, bit of a kick in the teeth for Croft if hes seen as an outside back more than half.

In what way is it a kick in the teeth for Croft. He isn’t owed a season because he stepped up last year. He will have to fight for his place just like everyone else. You might as well say signing Tanginoa was a kick in the teeth for Batchelor.

We need as strong a squad as possible and Chase is in all fairness a few steps up from where Croft is right now. He’s also 10 years younger so if he’s good enough his time will come.

That said I’m really not fussed who we sign now, I’m confident we have enough depth and experience to see us through the season injuries aside. Any additions are welcome but unless they are current internationals they are not vital.

On his day he is a very classy operator who I would think would be picking for a starting shirt but I’m concerned that he is another signing for signings sake like Gigot was.

Much more of a wingers centre who is very good at creating space for his centre and sometimes that’s something we have struggled with at times, however his injury record is a concern.

All signings are gambles but this in my opinion would be a bigger gamble than most and I hope that is reflected in his salary.

Not sure I get the Gigot analogy, he’s way more solid and reliable. Probably look more at Atkins for comparisons.

By Gigot type signing I mean signing a player because he is available rather than signing a player we need.

The experts on here on rugby league make me howl, he would be a quality acquisition. Listening to some we should be signing half the NRL. Don’t want to burst anybody’s bubble but we are the poorest club in super league, let’s be grateful we can get Somebody of his class. Whoever we sign there’s always someone who disses it.

Best of it is, most of those ok here saying it would be a class signing were those saying he was awful at Toronto lmao
