Complete plonker. Started years ago as a very ordinary bottom 3 hooker…………
And has advanced to a ……………….. very ordinary bottom 3 hooker.
Another reason DCE leaving is awesome for us, break up the senior playing group click, which Croker is part of.
Team needs to be gutted inside out. An edge top 8 side at best. Just like last decade.
Gut the whole side, like the dogs have done. Bring in whole hearted firebrand players, team first mentality. Complete opposite of DCE types……
X1000, have never ever understood the love for this guy.
Have always thought he was included to appease……… you guessed it D$E.
Similar to us signing the Hotel Sh!tter… to appease D$E……
Fair point , ordinary Hooker then. Stats back that up… think most on here just being kind….
Most just want a hooker that’s played it since junior footy, can pass half decent and can run for more than 6mtrs a game. He can’t, full stop.
Not just Siebold that’s been guilty of using makeshift Hookers @HoldenV8…….. past coaches just as guilty.
I just don’t get it either, 9 is so important in the modern game.
That’s great news. Free up some coin to throw at a Prop, second rower or hooker. I’d take any of those….
Good luck to him though. Just glad he’s won’t be playing for us anymore…
Silver lining? DCE will never wear the Manly colours again after this year.
Been waiting years for this pretender to be gone…….. not long now.
New Era..
