Piggy I read the back n forth spats you have with others on here and I hate to break it to you but they are really tedious. I’m not saying you’re arguments are boring.... but ... well they are.PigRickman wrote: ↑June 17, 2019, 5:49 pmWoah billy!

He is the best option we have available for selection at the moment and he isn’t horribly out of form.greeneyed wrote: ↑June 17, 2019, 5:14 pm I can see why NSW has not selected Croker. They have generally gone for a different sort of player (big, power runners), and he has had defensive issues at times, but these are seriously overstated. His form just prior to Origin I wasn’t great this year either.
However, to suggest he’s not amongst the best centres in the game, at least not in the top third of the pack... it is ludicrous IMO. There are suggestions here that he shouldn’t even be playing first for the Raiders or he should be ‘let go’. That is simply ridiculous IMO.

I’ve probably been a bit antagonist on the whole issue but it just irks me that JC has somehow reached a status where his position is beyond questioning.
I do get that he has been great for the club for a long time and maybe clubs need a core of supporters blindly devoted to their players but there needs to be some level of objectivity about the whole debate.
I’ve probably said more than enough on the whole debate today but I won’t apologise for questioning the form or selection of any player where warranted and I’m not alone in asking questions about whether Croker is the long term option. It’s the reaction of being shouted down for even mentioning the thought that makes me go harder at the issue than possibly warranted.
Anyway - it’s all good fun and promise I won’t be disappointed if he does end up holding the premiership trophy aloft this year (unless it because we traded him before the cutoff - that would be awkward!)
Go through the list and tell me the names.
I’ve got a few things to do, but you keep posting and I promise if I’m having trouble sleeping tonight I’ll come back and catch up on your posts
