Would we trade Frawley for Jackson Hastings ? or is that just exchanging OK for Good, when we need better than that...

If I had a choice, I'd like us to get Herbie Farnworth from the Dolphins.
Wouldn't be classed as a quota spot and is a quality centre. Tackle breaker and try scorer, as well as being able to supply his winger
Absolutely no chance of that happening. Interesting point is this. I agree there's zero chance of it happening, but is that because we don't have the cash to tempt him or because, even if we did, regardless of what we paid him, he wouldn't leave the NRL at this stage of his career. He’s on $850,000 dollars a year. Whilst we could put him as Marquee that would mean dropping a current marquee salary and we would have to be paying him quite a bit more than he’s in to tempt him away from the NRL. He’s lived there since a teenager, in his prime and considered one of the best in the NRL. Those types of players coming to the SL are long gone. Yep.If he qualified he would be playing Origin. |

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 .
