Was at the game and hooker is one position we have covered in Croker. What stood out initially was his defence. It was unbelievable. He continually cut down much bigger players and would make 2/3 tackles a set. Then he started to run and his 40/20 was so unexpected therein lies the beauty of it. His effort plays all night were exceptional including the 2nd try. He was so far ahead of any other player as MOM it wasn't funny. BUT with about 15 mins to go you could tell he was gassed due to his effort (as were 4/5 other players) and the warning signs were well and truly there that a comeback was a possibility. Croker did not deserve to lose and he should feel p**sed at some of his team mates whose efforts were average.
