Brodie Croft adalah salah satu bintang di Liga Super Betfred, tetapi mungkin keterampilan Man of Steel yang berkuasa dengan bola berbentuk telur di tangannya dapat ditelusuri kembali ke tahun-tahun awalnya tumbuh di peternakan burung unta.
Sampai usia lima tahun, Croft tinggal bersama keluarganya di sebuah peternakan di pedesaan Queensland, di mana burung besar yang tidak bisa terbang termasuk di antara ternak yang dipelihara di sana.
Pemain berusia 25 tahun itu masih mengenang masa-masa itu dan, berbicara di episode terbaru Bangku dengan Jenna dan Jon yang keluar pada hari Kamis, mengungkapkan bagaimana dia menikmati tidak lebih dari kembali menikmati pedesaan terbuka bersama anggota keluarganya yang masih tinggal di sana setiap kali dia kembali ke rumah.
“Bukan hanya burung unta, ada hewan lain, tapi setahu saya itu adalah pengembangbiakan burung unta dan telurnya,” kata Croft. Olahraga Langit‘ podcast liga rugby baru.
“Kami bisa menjual telur dan nenek saya suka melukis telur, jadi kami memiliki beberapa karya seni yang bagus di sekitar tempat itu. Saya ingat kamu bangun jam 6.30 pagi dan ayah akan membawamu ke sepeda motor dan kamu akan pergi menyeberang ke burung unta.
“Saya tidak pernah diizinkan masuk karena saya masih sangat muda pada usia itu sementara ayah biasa pergi ke peternakan burung unta. Mereka menendang dan sangat berbahaya, dan ayah akan bercerita tentang betapa berbahayanya mereka.
“Saya menyukai pengalaman saya tumbuh di sana di pertanian dengan tanah pertanian dan keterbukaannya. Keterbukaan adalah sesuatu yang sangat saya nikmati saat kembali ke rumah. Saya mencoba keluar ke sana kapan pun saya bisa selama musim sepi untuk masuk ke keterbukaan dan udara segar.”
Sorotan pertandingan Liga Super Betfred antara Leigh Leopards dan Salford Red Devils.
Croft unggul dalam kedua kode rugby di masa mudanya, tetapi itu adalah liga di mana bakatnya menonjol, dan dia membuat terobosan NRL dengan Melbourne Storm saat masih remaja di mana dia segera membuat perbandingan di antara para pakar dengan Cooper hebat Australia modern Cronk.
Mimpi pindah kembali ke negara bagian asalnya dengan Brisbane Broncos untuk awal musim 2020 berubah menjadi buruk dan setelah dua tahun yang sulit, dia memutuskan untuk menukar NRL ke Liga Super dan bergabung dengan Salford.
Dia dengan cepat membangun kembali statusnya dengan Setan Merah, mendapatkan penghargaan bergengsi Man of Steel di musim pertamanya, dan Croft mengatakan menemukan kembali kepercayaan dirinya adalah alasan di balik penampilannya untuk tim Paul Rowley, yang mencapai 80 menit dari Grand Final penampilan.
“Itu lebih membuat frustrasi daripada apa pun karena saya tahu dan merasakan jauh di lubuk hati apa yang mampu saya lakukan, tetapi itu tidak berhasil bagi saya,” kata Croft, merenungkan waktunya bersama Broncos.

“Saya hanya akan pergi ke pelatihan setiap hari bekerja lebih keras dan lebih keras, karena dalam diri saya jika segala sesuatunya tidak berhasil, saya akan bekerja ekstra keras untuk membuatnya bekerja.
“Kemudian ketika itu tidak berhasil, saya akan kembali dan mencoba lagi dan lagi, dan sampai pada titik di mana saya merasa membenturkan kepala ke dinding bata.
“Saya merasa telah menemukan kepercayaan diri itu dalam diri saya dan menunjukkan kemampuan saya. Jauh di lubuk hati, saya selalu tahu apa yang saya mampu lakukan, tetapi kadang-kadang membuat frustrasi dan menjengkelkan karena tidak berhasil, untuk alasan apa pun.”
Croft, baru saja menandatangani kontrak terpanjang dalam sejarah Liga Super yang berlangsung hingga 2030, dan Salford memulai kampanye Liga Super 2023 dengan kemenangan 20-10 atas promosi Leigh Leopard Jumat lalu.

Setan Merah sedang siaran langsung Olahraga Langit lagi pada hari Kamis mulai pukul 19.30 ketika mereka menjamu pemenang Babak 1 lainnya di Hull Kingston Rovers (kick-off pukul 20.00), dan Croft tidak diragukan lagi mampu bersaing untuk mendapatkan penghargaan lagi setelah mempertahankan banyak anggota kunci skuad tahun lalu.
“Saya akan bodoh untuk mengatakan kami tidak berjuang untuk trofi, dan saya benar-benar yakin kami memiliki dasar untuk melakukannya,” kata Croft.
“Kami memiliki konsistensi tentang hal itu dan pemain berkaliber tinggi yang sangat saya sukai bermain bersama, dan banyak pencangkok yang bekerja keras untuk satu sama lain.
“Dengan campuran itu dan beberapa talenta aneh yang dimiliki beberapa pemain tim kami, kami dapat melakukan sesuatu yang istimewa.”
