The senior News Corp journalist and NRL 360 co-host told the Thursday night program Croft and Smith were struggling to gel, given their differing outlooks on life. The conversation followed the revelation on Thursday Croft met with Brisbane coach Anthony Seibold at a Sydney cafe. The young Storm halfback is said to be headed to the Broncos for 2020, if he can get a deal and cut his current contract short by two years. “(Croft is) not a popular member of the (Storm) team ... not from a personality point of view, but he doesn’t get on particularly well with Cameron Smith which is a big issue,” Kent said. “From a football perspective, there’s just a clash of styles. Brodie is a millennial, Cameron is very much from a different school. “I think it’s just the different way they look at life. “That’s a part of it. Football is also a part of it. Given (Ryan) Papenhuyzen’s form you had to find a way to get him in there, and (Jahrome) Hughes is going terrific.” Croft was groomed as a successor to champion No.7 Cooper Cronk when the latter moved to Bondi last year. But it’s been a tumultuous time in the southern capital over the past 18 months. Croft played in the losing 2018 grand final team but his place in the side still came under question, and he was axed a week before this year’s finals series. Young fullback Papenhuyzen was brought into the team and Hughes moved to the halfback role. Senior Fox Sports reporter James Hooper first broke the story Brisbane was interested in the young halfback. Thursday’s meeting with Seibold makes the deal look all but done. “They’ve just got to nut out the dollars and cents. They’ve got to strike a price, get it right,” Hooper said. “Brodie is still signed with Melbourne for next year and the year after, so he’s got two years to go.” Hooper said Melbourne is keen to offload Croft but don’t want to chip in any of his salary.
