Will Croker be back?

[LeonardCohen]

He was walking around the Allianz members lounge in his Manly gear with Jake T last weekend. Doesn’t mean much but it’s a sighting so I can confirm he’s still alive!

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Crocker is Currently undergoing continuing assessment to see whether he will play again…he played tough hitting hard and could never be accused of arm grabbing …and as Bellamy said to his players do not run at him which speaks for itself…wish him all the best

110% not the best hooker by far but gave 1000% effort

Not sure whats happening with Froggy going foward , but hopefully we have moved on from him as 9 , but gee i think if he is fit and plays on he could be a more than good lock and cover for 9 too, once Jazz goes to UK.
We can then put $ into young FRs and 2nd row

It's time to move on and invest in youth or bring someone in that offers more. He had a great career and gave it his all, probably came up short but enthusiasm and effort kept him in that position for a long period. I genuinely do think though he always gave everything he had and he is probably one of the few that can say he lived up to his full potential.

I agree, but unless he retires or is medically retired he's on the books.

The attitude he's always shown on field, plus the fact he's a smart guy, make him a potential coach (if he wants to be?)

He’s a primadonna - acted like a spoiled child when he was dropped a month or so back

You got the right person? Do tell.

That's pretty much it, he did not take being dropped to cup very well. The players believe they are a protected species. It's a massive issue at the club.

They have to earn that right ..... and given our results most of them haven't earned that right at all

Forgive me as I missed this but what happened (and no rumours etc pls)

Remember when a few blokes got dropped to NSW cup, Saab, Crokes etc? Well, they all took it poorly, Croker mostly. I suppose this consitutes as a 'rumour' as it is not published, but I can assure you it is how it went down.

Well Saab deserved it and should still be down there. His form is in the toilet and we are lucky our left side is smokin hot.

Saab is putrid. I hope we move him on. The bloke just doesn’t have it.

The gap in effort and talent between Saab and our other backs in Lehi, Garrick, Koula and Talau is immense.

He comes across as entitled. I can’t see him improving in any of his deficiencies and he has plenty.

 

[47MVEagle]

I don’t like how Saab tries to act so nonchalant every time he makes a mistake.

I know it’s a front that he’s putting on to downplay the error he’s made but it just makes him look like a poser. If he got the sh1ts & looked pished off it would at least look like he cares.
