Jarrod Croker could get all clear for Round 1 after shoulder surgery
Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season with shoulder injury
Jarrod Croker played his final game this year with a shoulder injury that has ruled him out for up to five months — an act of bravery Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has described as unbelievable. The Raiders will be without their captain for at least the first four rounds of next season with Croker requiring major off-season shoulder surgery.
According to Stuart, Croker suffered a ruptured rotator cuff and torn labrum (cartilage) just five minutes into the Raiders’ season-ending 30-10 preliminary final loss to eventual premiers Melbourne a fortnight ago.

According to the story, Croker underwent delicate “bony Bankart lesion” surgery on Tuesday, Rapana has had a similar injury previously. Five months rehab minimum. Return Rd 4-6.

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
This explains his performance against Melbourne. Very brave from the skipper although Stuart and his medical staff should have had him off if he was so affected.
Interesting to see not only who it is that replaces him in the side but who is going to be the goal kicker in his absence
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Did anyone see how he injured his shoulder?
It couldn’t have been from using it in tackles the past decade

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Might have helped if we'd had a centre out there who could put his shoulder into a tackle Toots... (and Ricky)
That explains his poor play though. I wonder what round he did it in.
Gives a nice window for Timoko or HSS to audition in (does Timoko have a side preference?) And even juicier they'll be auditioning in the very same games as Scott plays - assuming he's a dead cert for one centre spot now. So the best performing might just stay in...

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Goal kicker will be interesting. I expect Simo to play and take the reins.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sticky plays Rapana there, with Scott on the right and Valemei the other winger.

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
I’m stunned I have to make this warning... but there have been some posts that have crossed the line. I’m not going to have them on the site.
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
I hope not but I also could see him doing it. It depends a lot on trial form so let’s hope two of Timoko/HSS/Scott stand up.
I tell you what this probably saves Scott a little I think.
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Ideally HSS plays there with Timoko on the right. Unfortunately, that's probably a little too far-fetched for Stick at this stage, what with the lack of experience there'd be in a backline with them.
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
It would be a courageous move, although one I would agree with. Rapana on one wing provides good experience and Simonnson is pretty solid as well.afgtnk wrote: ↑October 31, 2020, 7:05 pmIdeally HSS plays there with Timoko on the right.

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Heroic yes, maybe cost us a chance at the win, no involvement in the storm game, poor defence.
I'm keen to see a Harley Smith shields and timoko centre pairing come round 1 2021.. exciting times... and croker may have to come back via the bench. Maybe at 14.
And Wighton or George will kick, or Rapana or simmo and then Elliot.. probably

That's pretty hopeless. When I watch games with my kids I help them to empathise when opposition players go down injured. We are all humans after all.
My kids get it. And they are 9 and 10 years of age.

Shame about the injury...
Going to be interesting to see what Ricky does and who takes over the goal kicking...

Papa for goal kicking! Ricky reckons he is a great goal kicker and was sorry for Papa when he miffed his only attempt in his 200th game. True.
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Bad news for JC, I hope the surgery is a success. On possible team changes, I recall Valemei as a center in lower grades. Perhaps Simmonson and Rapa on the wings with Valemei, Timoko, Scott and HSS competing for spots in the centers. Pre-season will be interesting with all players competing for a spot in the backline and I reckon dusting off the goal kicking boots to try to get an edge for FG selection.
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Valemei is a winger, IMO.
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
If Seb Kris makes it back he is also a possibility at right center. GE has Andre Niko left the club? From a goal kicking point of view he was good in lower grades.
Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Contract expired this year... unless he can get another development contract... but unlikely.

If the posts that have been left in are any guide to what you've deleted, it just reinforces my opinion that are a lot of trash posters on this forum with NFI. Hope Toots recovers well and we see him back in his place soon as possible.greeneyed wrote: ↑October 31, 2020, 7:33 pmSome posters appeared to be almost happy about one of our own player's injuries.

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Courageous.. hat off to him.
I hope we play a natural centre round 1 and back whoever we play there. No point having a "fill in", we need to have a longer term view on this position and its the perfect time to get this process started.

Croker will go down as a club legend. I think constructive perspectives are fine and interesting.
But to be disrespectful is not cool.

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
If this is an excuse for Rapa to be our starting centre come Rd 1 in 2021 I'll be furious.
HSS to be auditioning for a long term role in those opening few rounds. Big chance to put our fears of a lack of backline talent to rest.
Scott vs Timoko for the right.
Really bad news for Croker. 2021 is shaping up as a pretty critical year for him and without a pre season under his belt, he's behind the eight ball already.

Re: Jarrod Croker to miss start of 2021 season after shoulder surgery
Thanks GE. I have not seen much goal kicking from the potential FG 17. Perhaps a call to a specialist goal kicking coach will be part of our pre-season for the coming year. It is a vital part of the game particularly in the tight contests.
