Apparently 8 players whose contracts are up end of 2025 have been put on notice that they are playing for renewals

So they should be, every player is playing for a new contract, those is their final year should need little reminding but they often seem to have been coasting in recent years.

I believe both the Croft article snd the ‘on notice’ article are from Serious About RL.

And we all know what that means. It’s going to be a long off season!

Now is the festive time of the year for click bait articles.....Plenty more still to come too from these sources

The Croft rumours have come from the Aussie press.

I wouldn't say that's a concern. All of the Samoa squad were the same.

Was always going to be the risk with players of Crofts Quality.
You'd hope he would at least see out next season

Blease has confirmed Croft has an NRL release clause in his contract......but it's expired and he'll be here in 2025.

Miller has done his hamstring apparently...and so it begins

Right time of year at least.

Would we take Jayden Sullivan for Croft?

News this morning Crofts team are trying to get a release to join St George. Despite the clause having been and gone, in my experience scenarios like this only ever end one way

Yep, he’s as good as gone, whilst i don't think he has been all that, its still a massive blow going into the off season.

Hopefully Connor goes to 6 and has a blinding season

That news is the same article that has been doing the rounds for the last few days.

Surely we would receive a fee,didn't we pay £300K for Croft?

No he isn't its just off season paper talk at the moment.

If he did want to go, the Club should be digging their heels in very hard and getting a big fee.

Yes, Leeds would demand a hefty fee for a mid-contract release, especially given the timing.

9 news are confirming it in aus mate

hes as good as gone

Seems to have too much credibility this one. Ezra mam with his ankle tag please.

Jeez,we really get burned with the few good players we have signed in the last few years.

They must be paying us a huge fee.

Who do we go after?

I doubt we get a huge fee to be honest. If Brodie wants out, then there is no point keeping him. We need to crack on with a replacement.

Other players in contention are the likes of former Eel Bevan French, Cronulla utility Daniel Atkinson, out-of-favour Rabbitoh Lachlan Ilias and injury-prone Tigers utility Adam Doueihi.

Hardly confirmed!

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!
