Re: Jarrod Croker
Its obvious that Croker cant be honourably managed out of the Raiders, he simply needs to be dropped to reserves never to be seen in first grade again. Sure it will ruffle some feathers amongst the playing group and provoke a media firestorm but they are secondary problems to the main problem of Cro...

Re: Raiders dealt huge blow as neck injury puts CNK out for up to two months
It’s not awful news. It gives a proper chance to take a gander at Aekins, who apparently at one time was Panther’s preferred fullback. If Aekins sucks then we can try Hopoate there. If they both suck CNK should be back well before finals.

Re: Is Canberra Raiders' premiership window closing?
It’s not closing, we just need to address the issues in the backline. The best way to do that is to throw money bags at some elite talent. I’m sure there’s plenty of studs playing for crap clubs who would love to sign for an elite team like Raiders. The prospect of Canberra may not excite them but p...

Re: Jarrod Croker
BJ bought his “bad habits” from Newcastle. Despite his “bad habits” he and Rapana were the most dangerous right flank in the competition for years. They were a key reason we made the GF. His brain snaps were evident from day one, it was simply a case of taking the bad with the good. He definitely lo...

Re: Jarrod Croker
Amazing. Barely three games back and the knives are already turning for Croker. He couldn't even get through a quarter of the season before fans beg for him to be dropped. What happened to him being "Ricky's guy"? What happened to the "human element"?
