“Surprise Signing”

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

No chance I would pay a fee for him if I was Wigan. Recency bias is the only reason he's rated.

Cade was better than him in the NRL & if he was the focal point at Wigan, he'd get just as much hype.

Thought Croft had an NRL release clause in his contract. That's if an NRL club wants him.

As far as we're concerned if Croft went to 6 the Cost would be 9.

He has been linked with a move to Newcastle Knights recently by The Mole. https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/salford- ... ear-58639/

And to quote Paul Kent: "I think [Newcastle] have been offered Brodie Croft & he wants to come back but I don’t know if they want him." https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... c9efc107ba

I think that Newcastle were interested in signing me for next season :), they are linked to everyone!

For me, we will be OK in the backs and if we can improve the pack we can get the best out of Smith, French and Field

I just don't see Luke Thompson playing for Wigan and fitting into the culture Matt and Co. are trying to establish long term. Could be wrong. I know Warrington offered him seriously silly money and a long contract and he rebuffed them emphatically.

I will ask again regards Croft and see if I can get any info. Last I heard was he has asked the club to listen to "all" offers.

Id take him in a heartbeat, hopefully if we are interested Salford should be reminded of all the players we've let them have for next to nothing over the years & not play too much hardball on a potential fee.

I don't see Wigan entertaining any plans to pay a fee for Brodie Croft. That would be asinine.
