Didn’t pack the kicking boots

Croker on the field for 60 minutes = 4 tries Bunnies 2 tries manly.
Croker off the field for about 20 minutes = 0 tries Bunnies 3 tries manly.

This guy is doing nothing but stifle attack since he’s been back.
I don't think Simpkin is the messiah, but we so desperately need something different, if Croker can't be as reliable, both as a defender, and as a player.

I've been one to defend him, for his effort, leadership, and defence, but when he's not on the field, or missing tackles, that value must be questioned.

I think Da Silva would be great for us, but we definitely don't have the cap. Muagututia and Large are it. Simpkin in the meantime...

I agree, Croker seemed like he was trying a few things last night to add into his attack but it failed. Attempted the pass straight to Sipley a metre out but it wasn’t on at all & resulted in a knock on. Simpkin is definitely no star as you’ve said but he at least needs to be on the bench to come on after 20 minutes

One issue I see is Simpkin had been playing well but then Seibold picked Croker straight away once he was back. It doesn’t create a culture of earning your spot.
