Its a 'hate' thing about Croker. I actually admire his efforts. But its a bit like Parker. Gives his all but just dosn't have the skills that make a top class hooker. He is afetr all a fair five ighth converted to hooker. He's improving, his defense is excellent and he's a good support player. Has characteristics I would think suit lock, but then I thought Parker would succeed at lock and we know how that went, so take no notice of that suggestion. Manly needs a nippy, quick thinking player with quick unpredictable service. I have been hoping Chan would fill the the requirements and he still may, but as yet we have no effective specialist in that position and it shows.
