Fair point that, and despite the fact he might actually be the better of the two.

If all the stories about how Croker has been having a huge preseason are true, then he deserves the first crack.
I'd prefer Hastings but I'm keen to see how Croker goes. I wouldn't trust the Raiders to get the best out of a young player much more than I'd trust the Knights to.

And why we let Gutherson go to Doesn'tmatta.

There is no A.I. Just better computers
We have a good history with ex-raiders players, hope it continues.

Ben Kennedy, Michael Monaghan, Michael Robertson all good.
Jarred Kennedy and Michael Chee Kam not so much.
Good research Kevin

Mark Bryant was another who was handy and did a solid job in a winning side
Phil Carey went alright
Good memory . I am sure he played on the wing for us

Carey was a Lakes United, Newcastle junior. He played for the Graders post-Manly.

Moritz was a Manly junior, who later played for Norths.
Derek Moritz was an Australian rugby league player from the 1970s.
A specialist winger, Derek Moritz was a Manly junior that was graded at Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in 1967. Moritz played for Manly between 1967-1972, and played on the wing in the 1970 Grand Final. He moved to the North Sydney Bears for two seasons between 1973-1974 before retiring. [
I think we can change the thread title now, from a Smokey to current first choice 5/8.
40 years an eagle
Bencher
Used to watch him play when I was 8 or 9. After he retired he owned the BP station at Wheeler Heights shops, right across the road from out grounds, St Mathews Farm. He had a seriously nice Mustang and used to roll up to watch our A grade home games sometimes.
It went full circle.
Was a nice guy and always told me I was going good.
Memories.
Nice story . Thank you for sharing
Damn you are right! 39 Games for us and 89 for the Raiders. I was kinda right....after so long....ahh forget it..
It's a long season. I expect they that both Croker and Hastings will have their chances. I hope the competition for the position brings out the best of both of them. I hope DCE stays injury free.

Arthurson had high hopes for Carey when he signed him. Sadly he didn’t quite achieve the heights expected.
