The Knights have emerged as favourites to sign rejuvenated former Broncos and Storm halfback Brodie Croft. Croft was struggling when he left the NRL at the end of last season but has had a breakout year with Salford in Super League, finding confidence and maturity. He came up with 25 try assists and only this week, was named in the Super League Dream Team. It was revealed a few days ago that three un-named NRL clubs are interested in the 25-year-old halfback, but Wide World of Sports has learned that the Knights are the keenest. The Knights have struggled for a playmaker since controversially parting ways with Mitchell Pearce this season, as their lowly position on the ladder shows. Jake Clifford and Adam Clune were used by coach Adam O'Brien with only moderate success and the club knows it needs a quality number seven to be a hope of challenging for a finals spot next season. Croft still has a year on his contract at Salford but is believed to have a get-out clause to return to the NRL. Only yesterday, the Knights signed fiery Broncos five-eighth Tyson Gamble and he may well form an exciting combination with Croft.
