Aussie Brodie Croft put on a show for his visiting parents as red-hot Salford nailed their play-offs spot.
The stellar stand-off, 25, has been a revelation for the Red Devils this term following his move from Brisbane Broncos. And he was at the heart of most of his side’s best moments as they annihilated Castleford. Salford, with two-try Marc Sneyd contributing 26 points in a 50-10 win, are up to fifth and now safe of a top-six place.
Assistant coach Danny Orr beamed: “ Brodie looks like a guy who’s really enjoying his rugby. This is his best part of the week: he gets 80 minutes to express himself and he’s doing that consistently well. He’s causing opposition all kinds of trouble. He’s just banged the drum in the changing rooms. These two people appeared and it turns out it’s his mum and dad over from Australia!
