Apart from the extra money he'll be getting there, not sure it's the right decision for his development 

I don't disagree. My question was one of principle. If enough money was offered, and assuming the marquee rule was adhered to, could any SL club attract an individual of Farnworth's quality, in their pomp, or is the quality of the NRL too much of a draw for them. 

No team in SL can afford or attract anyone of his quality in the NRL, maybe when he’s 32/33 and ending his career.

As I say the days of attracting those sorts of players are long gone.

We've not got a cat in hells chance of signing the elite young superstars in the NRL.
We will ultimately get them in the latter years of their careers, and by that time you don't know what their physical conditions are or also their intentions upon landing in SL.
Take a look at players like Luke Keary and Tevita Pangai Junior for example, who have both come over for a holiday judging by their performance so far this season at Catalans

Croft is a bit of an enigma, the quality is undoubtably there but he seems to be going through the motions sometimes.


Hes just back from a layoff and feeling his way back in I suppose .

I seem to be in the minority but I thought Croft was class last weekend, possibly contender for MoM. He seems to be growing in his partnership with Connor and I can only see him getting better. At last he is playing in a team with a partner and structure that suits him, still not the player we thought we were getting but getting closer week by week.
