Will Croker be back?

[Ohgeez]

Croker should be in reserve grade & get some games under his belt before even being considered for 1st grade. He should also be no where near a 7 jersey in first grade, he was already a snail before another knee injury & doesn’t have the ball skills or kicking game to make up for his lack of ball running threat

Looks like Froggy is back

Re Croker back ,I hope that Simpkin isn't thrown to the curb for a Croker Jazz combo.
I feel Simpkins performances this year has shown that he is our best option at 9 with Jazz at 13 who can do a few minutes at 9 if needed .Croker also should be more than capable of playing 13 and in fact given his 7,6 and 9 history should be outstanding at it, which gives the team further options.
I just hope Siebold doesn't just put Croker back in straight away at the expense of Simpkin who I feel is getting better with more game time.
Anyways Go Manly

I agree that Simpkins is our best hooker
I do not believe he has reached his potential
Given more game time and confidence we will see the best is yet to come for Simo
Jazz is best as a 13
Croker lacks the skills of a half and the dynamics of a robust lock
His best position is makeshift hooker where his strength in that role is to tackle him self to a standstill

I would like to see something similar to the below at worst for the next month (while Jake has a spell)... assuming frog will be back to starting 9:

13. Tevaga
14. Simpkin
15. Bullemore
16. Brown/Navale
17. Lodge

Best 9 we have had since the Api/ Fainu disaster....and credit where due, the more he plays the better he looks

I don't assume Croker will regain the 9 jersey, though he may.
I think he's potentially a Cam McInnes type who can fill in at dummy half or lock. So, quite handy on the bench

Fair call, has the quicker legs and 1 thing he does offer is stout defence, I recall a few head on tackles and thought it was Jake

I would be pretty happy closing the game with all three of Croker,jazz and simpkin - assuming they are all fresh enough.
