I have him in the middle of the pack of centres across the NRL... Granted this list is from a few weeks ago, provided by Julian... The centers in the NRL last week were: Jennings, Hoffman, Whare, Blake, Walker, Parker, Arthars, Kelly, Hunt, Ramien, Tupou, Mitchell, Croker, Cotric, O’Neill, Opacic, ...

FTR, Croker's win record as captain is 54%. Prior to that his win record was 42%. Definite upward trend.
And Hodgo....

Hodgo has a 51.5% win record over the same period.

Papa would need to play many more seasons to catch Croker’s loss record of 128 games. Croker has a good 30 game loss lead on him. Can anyone point to a Raider who has captained or played in more losses than JC ? My point is if you hang around a long time you do rack up lots of personal records but ...

Northern Raider

NR - people like to laud Croker’s indivudual records and what he does for the club. He has been playing 1st grade since 2009 and has been captain for most that time. He has a win record of slightly over 47%. Over 10 years when the raiders have run out with him in the team usually as skipper we have...

Given the history of our past sponsors in Woodgers, Video Ezy, Anzett, Ozemail, McFadden's and FoneZone, I don't like the future prospects of this Huawei bizzo.

Good old McFadden's. Our sponsorship equivalent of Matt Rua.

I guess Jack being picked at centre for NSW blows away the conspiracy theory there is some sort of bias against the Raiders keeping Croker out of Origin. The state selectors pulled a guy out of Origin retirement ahead of him for game 1 then picks his team mate out of position for game 2. Hmmmm do y...

I just realised that there is only 1 centre playing Origin in game 2. A fullback and 2 x 5/8s have got the nod over every other eligible/healthy centre in the game.

...and the best centre in the game just got dropped.

How much has Shannon Boyd fallen down in the pecking order when Saifiti is selected ahead of him. Can’t believe Boyd was a Kangaroo and one stage... Sent from my iPhone using The Greenhouse A well deserved Kangaroo's jersey too. He was a very destructive prop at the time. I think the game has moved...

Really can't believe Fittler made so many changes. Feels like panic following a loss.

Northern Raider

Julian, I reckon the side picked is there to play an up tempo game. I reckon there will be a lot more support for Damien Cook with such a mobile pack. Jake and Dale are not bad meter eaters themselves. They have some footwork and run angles well. They are also mobile in the defensive line so there ...

Northern Raider

Glad to see Finucane in the side. He is a middle forward similar in style to Jake Trbojevic. I see that as a positive at Origin level. So how does Freddy use him with Trbojevic already there? Half a game each? Then how do they use Murray? The other 2 bench players are edge forwards ( also questiona...

Where is the Saifiti hate coming from?

I wouldn't call it hate. More bemusement that a middle of the road NRL prop can suddenly become an Origin player.

Northern Raider

Trbojevic, Murray and Finucane. All are 89 min middle 3rd workhorses. No idea how he plans to utilise them.

Daniel Saifiti - LOL
haha i thought i was drunk when i read that.
He'll put some fear into the QLDers.

No one takes powder puff hit ups quite like the Siafiti's!

Would prefer Paulo. He's actually playing very well.

Blues continue their tradition of not selecting centres to play centre.

Northern Raider

Oh well, at least we were in 3rd place for 3 days.

Northern Raider

Bunker overturns onfield call of no try for double movement. Geez I'd be blowing up deluxe of that went against us. He clearly reached out with a 2nd effort.

Northern Raider

As I wrote in Through Green Eyes this week, if Croker had kicked just two more goals this season he’s on 80 percent success rate, same as Smith. TWO goals. Then he comes out tonight and he’s five from five. Now he’s 78 percent success rate. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Yeah, but he can’t kick t...

Every now and again I can have a whinge about the reffing. And if everyone did this the same way you did, we wouldn’t have a problem! Every now and again people can and are probably warranted in having a gripe with officiating The problem is this fan base, and as an extension, this site, have a maj...

Northern Raider

I think there's too big a gap to teams like Roosters and Storm for us to be contenders. That said if you're in it you can win it. If we can remain in the top 4 come September then we at least have a shot. Left out the Bunnies since the Panthers just knocked them off? These teams are not invincible....

He's literally one of the worst halfbacks on the list, and that's taking into account a number of second stringers listed. No question the standard of halves has dipped significantly over the decade, but that to me says even more about his level. We need a better halfback in order to win a premiers...

Northern Raider

A 1 month injury means he'll only miss one game. That's as good a timing as you can get. With Rapana getting back to 100% and Hodgo still returning this break has worked out very well for us.

Northern Raider

Blind Freddy can see Rapana isn't ready for rep footy yet. Hopefully his selection is treated as an honourary recognition and he's withdrawn from the game.

Northern Raider

Statistical analysis of points conceced compared to ladder position of the opposition is totally useless if you want to determine which halfback is defensively better. The right way is to watch the friggin games and its plain as day. There can be several valid cases made for either player but don't ...

Northern Raider

Sam has two advantages over sezer 1 - Field goal kicking 2 - He works with hodgson better. Sezer wins on most other points. Williams has more finesse on his short kicking game on the red zone. In this regard I actually think Williams is above average by broader NRL standards. I'm not sure about you...

Northern Raider

And Croker also sliced through largely untouched to score his try yeah? Your edges are going to be made to look silly sometimes when the other team outplays them. No matter how good you are. Josh Morris widely regarded as one of the best defensive centres in the game and he's let in some shockers t...
