I don't think Leeds will roll over that easily. Blease and Arthur don't come across as though they are easily bullied.
Ultimately if the player wants to go and the buying club is willing to pay the appropriate fee probably not much that we can do. My understanding without knowing the figures is that there is a contract release price to the NRL that is available in a window at the end of each season that decreases in price with each season completed. This has now closed for last year. That doesn't mean he won't go but if he does they will have to pay Leeds a fee that recoups their investment on Croft minus the one season he has played. I don't think we will cave in on that! If they put the money up then agree hes gone!

I agree.

One with pace? All those three can pass and kick but sticking a burrow or an early career mcguire type into the mix would give defences something else to worry about. I don't know whether madden's a runner, mind, and not sure hastings ever was.

We lack pace as a team, having more in the halves wouldn’t be a bad thing. That said, I’d rather have calmness and leadership.

Not sure there`s a right lot wrong with the halves and if Croft/Connor get an understanding then I`m quite happy.
Handley has a bit of pace as does Miller but neither as good as Field and French admittedly.
Saying that there`s not many halfbacks in SL that do have pace.

That’s why they’re in SL.
