Will Croker be back?

[BOZO]

So what. If he feels like he has had enough then he can retire when he wants to

I was only stating that if he is medically cleared we have him for another year 2026

Yes, but if he gets to the point that he has had enough, he can go wgen he feels the time is right

I agree. Which brings me to the moral of your story feathered friend .....
If there is a will
We will find a way
When we lose the will
We will look for a way out

No rush, UK is calling.

With his history of concussion and head and neck injury it is likely most doctors are going to give him clearance for medical retirement. Got concussed at training last time.

 

[Rackets]

Just a suggestion, what about Croker playing lock if TDS does sign with us?

I think he is finished

He would be eligible for medical retirement, however I have my doubts as to whether we would get any salary cap relief as these injuries have been occuring over a long time, but with head knocks the NRL may have a different set of criteria.

The 11 day stand down has come and gone, and he isn't named in any grade this week. It may be precautionary, but ****, it doesn't spell good things for Lachlan.

Think he’s done , and that’s not a bad thing ( he needs to retire for his future health situation ).

 

[Cliffy's Jockstrap]

I think when you start getting concussed in the relatively controlled training environment, that must be a bad thing. He had that troubling problem last year, lingering balance and numbness problems if I remember? I like Froggy and I worry about him. I think it is time to move away from playing and to a different role at the club. He is clearly liked and respected, I'd be keen to see him stay with the club.

The stupid thing , if he plays on , it could greatly affect his life 50+

And let me tell you it’s hard enough surviving anyway without adding brain issues.

I think smart to pull up stumps. Guys had a good honest crack and always been a likeable clubman for us. Can hold his head high if he calls it a day.

As I have posted in the Pre-Game thread, Lachlan Croker's return from concussion has been pushed back to Round 20.

(Don't forget that Round 19 is a Bye Round for us, so his return probably would have been Round 19 if it wasn't the Bye Round).

Will Croker be back??

I've said no before and was wrong. I'm staying out of this one.

 

[Disco]

I worry about the guy.

Concussions not to be messed with. Jake in those areas too

Croker has played first grade for many years and has been a great clubman and played his heart out. It’s now time for him to think of the rest of his life and his family.

He's a half turned stop gap hooker who ended up playing half a decade in the pack, it's been impressive however as most have said - the wear is showing and it might be time to give it away.
