Rohan Smith expects Leeds Rhinos to finalise their recruitment for 2024 in the 'next week or two' after welcoming the club's interest in Brodie Croft.
Smith has made wholesale changes since taking over at Leeds 18 months ago and is not done yet, with the Rhinos on the verge of landing Salford Red Devils half-back Croft and a replacement for Nene Macdonald at centre. 'I think we're getting pretty close to having most of it done,' said Smith. 'This usually is the busiest time for a coach, after the season has finished, when it comes to roster and planning.
I watched a lot of him at Melbourne and I was close to the Broncos during my time in Brisbane and saw him play there, and it's been great to see his evolution and his love for the game being evident.' Smith has another overseas quota spot at his disposal after Macdonald was released this week. Macdonald, who agreed an extension to 2027 in July, failed to return to Headingley from paternity leave in Australia.
