2025 is fine as that's another 2 seasons with him.

End of this season would be a disappointment imo. We've got, for once, a settled backline for a couple of seasons. Would be good to keep the HB pairing too.

Had abit of a read up on manly's team for this year as i knew foran had left and seems they have another young lad who will be starting in the stand off role for them this season. He has played 35 NRL games so far but all bar a couple have been at second row. If he works out well for them that could work in our favour especially if Cust is as happy here as people seem to think he is. Had a nosey at this topic on the other site and most over there also seem to be under the impression that Cust is loving his time with us, so fingers crossed.

Meant 2024, but yes I agree on keeping a HB pairing.

Brodie Croft won’t be coming here anyway, he’s signed an 8 (eight) year deal at Salford! Fair play to them for that.

*felt the need to do the old video printer style confirmation that I meant 8.

If nothing else, it's a big payday for them when the NRL start trying to tempt him back in about two years' time.

No criticism of Salford there. They've done very well to try and secure him on the best deal possible. But these days, I don't trust the players or their agents when it comes to respecting contracts. Lots see them through, but plenty don't,

I do agree that the 8 year but can probably be ignored. I doubt he’s signed for that length of time without any options to break the deal at certain points but it’s a good news story for Salford and the league. They’re doing a good job at Salford of picking out those players who are supremely talented but need a fresh start. One of my gripes in the last season or two is the line that gets thrown around pretty often, that they do it on a shoe string. I can’t buy that with the players they have. They may be cheaper than they were at the point of that player being on their career best deal but they’ll still be costing a fair amount. It’s good to see that they are able to increase their spend.

They're certainly a team to watch, though quite a few of them were at walking-past half way through last Sunday's game. Not sure how many of those will be first-graders, of course.

They turned down £170,000 last week from an NRL club so I believe

There's no way it's an 8yr deal without NRL buy out clauses etc.
Unless he's on 300/400k a year (and Marquee, sponsorship paying for it) he will also be susceptible to being unsettled.

If someone comes knocking with 350/400 plus as a transfer it would be very hard to turn down
Also, lf someone wants him that hard then the money they'll be offering will deffo unsettle him.

Congrats to Salford - Croft is a fantastic halfback to watch and great for SL that he's here for a while. Surely won't be eight years though - the length of contract is just a bit strange. Why commit for that long to any club if you were as good as Croft?
