Re: Canberra Raiders co-captain Jarrod Croker eyes round one return

We currently have two centres in the squad for a tier 1 national team.

If we were to lose either of them - or HSS - to give Croker a last hurrah, I think that is a poor footballing decision.

Ben Hunt has rejected the offer the Drags tossed up.

We looked the goods then Whitehead killed the momentum and that was it. Penrith clicked and we never had a chance from there.

You can’t blame Whitehead for the loss, but he definitely started the rot.

I'd rather they spend a bit on Viking Park and make it into a usable ~12,000 seat venue and we play there for a year while they do the whole thing in one hit.

I am just baffled by the continued selection of an outside back on the bench who’ll be lucky to get five minutes on the pitch. Adam Elliot or CHN can cover centre in an emergency if there’s an injury. It’s absolutely mindbendingly idiotic to waste a bench spot every week in case we lose a back to in...

He has shown that he can handle the core responsibilities of being a FG hooker with a little bit of attacking flair in his dummy half runs, and he can play ~60 minutes without getting gassed. I agree that Starling is the one that starts to look a bit odd one out moving forward. If Trevelyan is comin...

Frawley had some good moments - his monster touchfinder in the 78th got us the field position we needed to win - but there was also some vintage Josh McCrone in his play as well.
