Croft is part of the solution not part of the problem

The Damned Rhinos: The untold story of Rohan Smith’s disastrous reign at headingly stadium.

Get him gone.

“But who can replace him?”

Who cares? Keeping someone out of their depth is doing real damage to the club. We are a joke on the field. No one takes us seriously.

I tell you what, they are shooting a documentary this year about the rhinos, now that could be interesting!

It's not how much talent you've got, it's what you do with it that counts.

This is like some strange reverse Christmas, “has he gone yet” rather than “has he been”…

Re: Smith out ASAP : Sat May 25, 2024 12:24 pm  
I notice the post match conferences are getting shorter, and while he's trying to look calm there looks to me to be a bit of panic. I think he's far better off acknowledging poor performances, which he did about the second half. That at least shows he can see the issues. Far too often he's banging on about being in the contest etc when we've been awful, as though he's watched an entirely different game.

I'd guess Rohan now knows, if he didn't before, that we still have too many passengers in the team, no leaders, and an almost laughably soft front row. Mistakes can be fixed, if needs be by dropping players, but having re-watched the game I can't see how any coach could do much without a massive shakeup of the pack. Utterly incapable of holding their own for more than a few minutes. And Frawley looks actually worse than some of us feared when he signed, if that's possible.

Yes Croft is a better player than Dodd who i think is highly overrated

Put Dodd in our side and he would look like Frawley.

I get people are down on the club at the moment but let’s not start bagging the actual quality players we have got.


As often we must agree to differ - the fact that if, you are correct and there is a dearth of half backs in the NRL Croft would be there already. I would suggest Craig Bellamy to be a good judge of a RL player and he had Croft and let him go.

Sezer played 3 times as many games in the NRL as Croft - we never saw Sezer put in any effort when he was over here. Different quality of player to Croft.

I am not saying we should remove Croft - he is not Frawley - he just needs to up his game.

Yes let’s agree to disagree, i suspect your in a minority of people who thinks that about Croft.

Croft wasn't let go by Bellamy as such. He was a relatively unproven halfback, and the Broncos offered him a huge deal to go there, and he really didn't handle the pressure well. To the point that his form and confidence collapsed and he went to England. The common factor between the Broncos and Leeds is that he was/is expected to drive the team to some uber level of performance when frankly the rest of the team just isn't very good.

Earlier today, Brad Arthur was asked if he would consider a job in England, he answered in the affirmative.
