A lot of discussion about Croker ... for and against on several threads .... kid probably deserves his own ...
One thing to remember with this bloke is that since he first did his knee in 2016 .. he has played a total of 25 FG games ... and about half of those off the bench for short periods .... that isn't much footy over 5 years ..... and for the past 5 months has been under going re-training as a hooker ...
It is not a surprise that he is a bit dusty as a 5/8 .... I think that he would be thinking that his chances of becoming a starting half are diminishing ... and hooker is his best shot ....
What he needs most is to get a lot of footy under his belt .... but that doesn't appear to be going to happen anytime soon ...
Kid might end up a victim of circumstances .... but we know he has courage and perseverance .... and I wish him all the luck in the world ...
