Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3144137, member: 1992"] There's no way in hell I'd drop Croft at this time. We all marvel at the stories about Allan Langer especially when we remember his size and age. He was 22 in his debut season, the Bronco's first which started off with a bang but fizzled out through wear and tear. Well Croft is only 22. 22 years old is young, really really young and he's got the same responsibility as Langer had then but Langer wasn't an organising halfback, he was just a cog in an team layered with current test and origin players. Alf was instinctual and quite often off the cuff. Wally called the shots and how!!! My point is Langer got better and better until finally he became the organiser and that didn't happen when he was 22. Before you start squealing but but Croft isn't equal to Langers bootlaces remember that most halfbacks aren't either yet they develop a skillset. I'd keep his job simple because we have the pack to play the simplest game and I'd trust him knowing he'll mature as Langer did. We don't need flashy, we need reliability, repeatability and combination. We can achieve that with Croft. [/QUOTE]
