Not unpopular mate, just a fact.
The broncos are no benchmark
They offered no resistance or resilience
And their coach confirmed how soft they were
And Croker took full advantage
Parker on the other hand could not capitalize
He failed to score a close range try after he was put though a gap by a great pass
He failed to make any line brakes
He failed to make any try assists
He failed to make any impression in open play
And close to half time he failed to complete a tackle getting in schusters way which resulted into the Broncos only try
Parker looks out of Place and out of Pace in the NRL

We got a real roll on with the forwards making plenty of yards and getting fast play the balls and he was able to keep that momentum going largely by keeping things simple and staying out of the way. Really good game from him.

Improving with every game. Let’s face it he is a half converted into a hooker there was always going to be a transition period. Some of that service last night reminded me of Matty B.

He isn't knocking on as much this year too which is really nice. Previous years any mistakes he made really stood out as everyone was death riding him.

Right up your alley.😉
We have known each other over the years and so you do know me very well feathered friend 🙂

I was actually going to start the same thread but you beat me to it. And...it had nothing to do with his try (though that was good).
He actually looked like a 9 tonight for the first time. He looked purposeful and you could sense he was thinking about what needed to be done and when. On a few occasions, he threw very deliberate long passes from the ruck to DCE and Jake and the width really made us a threat on the edges. He also kicked to corners which takes pressure off the halves. He seems to have really benefited from Tom coming back because Tom reads the game so well and provides direction for the attack. He hangs behind the ruck and calls the play left or right.

I agree his best game by far last night .They all played well .I'm not sure what Des does next week but I would be reluctant to insert Siro in at the exspense of any of those fowards they have led the way and the magic formula of Sippers and Marty off the bench has been outstanding with high energy runs and quick PTBs .Croker seems to be running those fowards onto the ball a bit better giving us more line bending power he was fantastic last night
Other than injuries if its not broken dont fix it.6 is the key now ,I thought when Cust came on he looked great , quick high energy and plugged into the plays .So for me Cust to 6 ,and I guess if Walker is back Scorpio is out ,but Im not sure about that iether,you would really like Walker to do a week at BWSE to get him a bit match fit.
Anyway outstanding win and a good problem to have trying to fit returning players
Go Manly

He is a better dummy half than a half back. He is getting better and I’d like to think he’ll keep improving. Credit where credit is due.

Fark off you whinger. This is a thread about Croker.
Croker has copped heaps in his time here but an interesting thing about him is that he has been on the field in our biggest wins over 4 clubs
54-0 over Parramatta
50-6 over Broncos
40-6 over Tigers
36-0 over Titans
This thread is also about seeing things in perspective feathered friend
Something that you failed to see
You have also failed to see the reasons why as you say Crooker was copping it heaps
Been saying for 3 years that anybody that writes this kid off hasn't bothered to appreciate his history ... he may never be a superstar ... but has more courage and determination to succeed than any player we have ... whatever success he has he will have earnt ... and at a fraction of the contract price of some show ponies ...

Something that I haven’t failed to see is that you’re as dumb as dog **** and you’re stuck in a loop
Congratulation feathered friend . You have demonstrated your great class and your great intelligence and logic !!!
