THE CROKER POLL .. THE RESULT UPDATED!

[Kevinward777]

For once a thread where my comments don't make me look like a complete pork chop !! hahaha

Knew he had it in him. And he'll keep getting better. I bet there are teams talking to him

Haha.

He’s doing him job. Very Ballin like.

Perspective time

Great Hookers with all the skills take the game to another level

Perspective time - some Silvertails need to learn how to type - Croker proved me wrong.

Croker played well yesterday. His best game for a long time. I don't rate him as a nine (and probably never will). But if he keeps on putting in performances like that, he deserves his spot in the team. It's great to be proven wrong, (particular when it results in a fantastic Manly win) and I hope it continues like that. Go Manly.

Note: I still don't rate him as a nine (Not in the same league as Cook, Grant, Korisau, Fainu et al) BUT he is doing a great job for Manly in that role, and deserves to hold that spot for the rest of the season. Am hoping that he continues to prove me wrong and that he continues to develop in that position. Most improved player for Manly this year, and really demonstrates how important resilience and determination are to playing any position in the NRL.

Some were predicting that as early as February, long before the season started. They are the ones that really need a pat on the back!

I’d argue that Lionel Richie is the most improved player.

Yep cool. The original post was more about the fact he has massively improved since preseason, he has worked bloody hard to achieve that, and that he deserves to keep his spot as nine for the rest of the season, based on the above. The second post also pragmatically implies that he wont hold that spot in 2022 if Fainu returns, and will be lucky to get another contract with us for next season. Not saying whether this is good or bad, just my interpretation of the facts as they are today.

Learning to Type has nothing to do with assessing a player

Croker has always demonstrated his courage on the field and his defence has improved

I showed you a highlight real with a hooker that has the skills to take the game to another level and the proof is a complete number 9 makes a team shine

The Better Hookers in the NRL are more than a defensive unit
The better Hookers in the NRL give the team another Xfactor

And this is why the club is hanging out for Fainu . Because he is the complete Hooker

I am Hooked on Skillful Hookers

Is this an I told you so thread that we have seen a million times before or some crazy variant that allows people to discuss a poll that has an official voting system......?So random this site is.....

I’d have kept Api given the choice.

Api would have been great to keep Jerry but I believe young Fainu is a freak . He was so unpredictable a real Xfactor and his defense was sound .

Fainu is in another league - no doubt.

But Croker has been bloody great this season. His efforts deserve recognition. Go you good thing!

A baseless call mate. You have no base line for Lionel. Yes, he has been VERY good, but nobody here knew what he was like before. The Frog, on the other hand has improved tremendously.

Well "Hello"
Happy to say Croker is playing better than I thought he could
He is also most definitely benefiting from his team mates and key players around him, but his options are sharper and defensively- very good
