He will replace Jamayne Isaako and start alongside Selwyn Cobbo, who pushes out Jesse Arthars at right centre for Friday&#x27;s clash against the Roosters.<\/p>\n<p>Croft&#x27;s tumultuous time as a Broncos player is likely over. He has now signed a Super League deal with Salford for the next two seasons and almost certainly played his last game for Brisbane in last Thursday&#x27;s loss to Newcastle; a match in which he recorded zero runs, capping a failed club switch from Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p><img data-id=\"7bc1a762-d2ab-4e1a-af5f-7d56a0285036\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.static9.net.au\/fs\/7bc1a762-d2ab-4e1a-af5f-7d56a0285036\" alt=\"\" data-width=\"1396\" data-height=\"785\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Kelly will take good memories into the Roosters clash, having inspired a 34-16 upset of the Tricolours when he made his Broncos debut in Round 11.<\/p>\n<p>Contracted only for this season, the enigmatic playmaker will hope to convince Brisbane that he&#x27;s worth another try next year. Croft and Milford will both be leaving the club, while current five-eighth Tyson Gamble was signed for another two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos sit 15th, six points clear of the last-placed Bulldogs and almost guaranteed to avoid the wooden spoon after winning it last year.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/login.nine.com.au\/login?client_id=wwos&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwwos.nine.com.au&amp;newsletter=true\" title=\"clicking here!\"><em><strong>clicking here!<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Broncos coach Kevin Walters is tipped to continue a wild season of team changes, with halfback Brodie Croft dropped for Round 22 in favour of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=114288\" title=\"Failed star gone as Broncos slash team again\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114288"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=114288"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":114290,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/114288\/revisions\/114290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=114288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=114288"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=114288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
