It doesn't look like Lachlan Crocker will be playing next weekend because going by the information above, his return has been pushed back by another week to Round 22.
Let's just hope that we fight Jake Simpkin's concussion grading and hope that also he doesn't cop any suspension for his dangerous tackle on Melbourne Storm player Grant Anderson that he was penalised for and placed on report during the game.
