Leeds Rhinos have tackled head-on the reports linking playmaker Brodie Croft with a comeback to the NRL to fill the shoes of the departed Ben Hunt at the St George Illawarra Dragons.
After a solid seven seasons and 147 matches with the Dragons, Hunt's chapter at the club closed shop at the end of last month, leaving behind a hole that needs filling.
The Dragons now face the challenge of reshaping their halves combination as they set their sights on making a charge for the NRL Finals series once more.
Following reports from The Daily Telegraph, the Dragons have lined up a few potential candidates from Super League and the NRL to step into Hunt's shoes, including speedster Bevan French and the poised Brodie Croft.
Gossip from Wide World of Sports suggests that Croft is currently leading the race for the coveted halfback role.
Leeds Rhinos are not backing down from this challenge, and they are ready to put up a strong fight to keep their talented playmaker in the UK.
In the game of Rugby League, every move counts, and the Rhinos are prepared to play hardball to retain their ace on the field.
As the off-season drama unfolds, the Rhinos are ready to defend their turf and make sure that their squad remains intact and competitive for the upcoming battles on the Rugby League battlefield.
