The Chronicles of Croker ... (The Lazarus man)

[Woodsie]

How good is this kid ....... Obviously Dessie has a much higher regard for him than many (of the numbnuts) on this forum ....

Edit ... Or Dessie is playing one of the best games of ducks and drakes ever ...

Croker is just young thus inconsistent.

His time will come and LG should be kept busy with Croker and Cust in the queue

 

[Woodsie]

Would like to know if Croker has been doing much dummy half work at training ..... a future hooker maybe?

 

[Ryan]

Why? Where is Croker?

I saw the pensioner is on the bench in the 14.

 

[mave]

It was pretty clear that Supercoach completely curtailed any possible spark Croker may have produced last year.
The instruction was clearly to simply be a link man, and tackle anything within arms reach, which Croker did competently.

The first time he came out with a running game he looked fantastic, then got injured 20 minutes later.

He has what it takes imo. You cant teach tough.

Would rather Croker coming on at hooker than Hodgko....but once Fainu is back will be the option well ahead of both.
Didn't think Croker was too bad last season - his defence was actually damn good, attack lacked good service to the outside men but he done ok until injured.

 

[Chip and Chase]

I don't think Froggy has had chance to show what he is capable of yet. I saw some glimpses of potential in a very limited role he was given by TB. Happy to give him benefit of the doubt for now.

Well we have 29 players we can choose from and Paseka, Turbo, Waddell, Fainu and Walker are out whilst hoppa is being nursed

Winterstein left with no confirmation on whether Olukatu (sp?) has taken his spot.

That leaves 22......meaning Croker beat out Kioa

Not really an indication that Des has high hopes for him

Is this déjà vu? It seems that we have the same dilemma as last year with barely being able to name a full 21...

Maybe Dessie can see a bit of himself in the way a fully fit Croker can play.
A good Working type of half with solid defence .
The young bloke deserves a season without injury...

I suppose if we get an injury he’ll be a good spare but I’m ****ed if I know why he’s there when Hodkinson is also on the books.

1 more year of Hodgko ?
Lots of years in Froggy, if he stays healthy.

Numb-nuts?

Ill have you know I'm a member of the offended-by-everything generation. How dare you!

2 ways to look at it I guess. I’m ****ed if I know why Hodkinson’s there when Croker is also on the books.

Back up goalkicker I guess gets him in.

 

[Southern Eagle]

I thought Crocker was on a Development Contract and players on these contracts could play till after June 30?

He has come into the squad to replace Kelly I think

Kioa not named anywhere so would appear unavailable as well

Most of the supercoaches would disagree and were howling at his selection from about round 2 onwards

My compliant last year was that Hastings was IMO a far better player and more experienced than Croker. I considered Croker's selection ahead of Hastings at that time as poor decision making. I don't resolve from that but that does not mean that I consider Croker to be a poor player nor does it make me a numbnut.
