Brodie Croft is “stoked” Salford team-mate Kallum Watkins has another England chance - but just wishes he didn’t have to face him.
Australian half-back Croft plays for the Combined Nations All Stars as they tackle Shaun Wane’s side at Warrington on Saturday. And Watkins, 31, lines up at centre FIVE years after his last England appearance in the 2017 World Cup final. He’s overcome a number of serious injuries to flourish with Salford this term where he’s converted to second-row.
Croft, who joined from Brisbane Broncos in the off-season, said: “Kal’s been playing on my edge and I’ve enjoyed every minute since he’s been back. He’s a special player. He can make me look better than what I am at times with how strong he can carry.
