Thats MR MACDOUGALL to you, young Master Croker.

I dont know how you figure that out mate, he is one of the worst defensive centers in the comp.

45 missed tackles is top of the competition.

It's not just about missed tackles. For a centre, that stat can be made to look worse than it is if your winger makes bad decisions.

What I like about Croker is that he generally makes the right decisions. He jams in when he should, he stays wide when he should, he generally has a real good footy brain. Just not when he comes up against MacDougall.

I like Croker, one of my favourite player in the NRL, but I would never associate him to be a good defender.

His biggest problem is he gets brushed off too easily. He needs to bulk up a little and that might help him make his tackles stick.

Has Croker played a worse game? 2011 hasn't been kind to a lot of Raiders players but I've been really disappointed with his growth. I thought he would have been well in the hunt for a NSW centre spot instead of looking like a NSW Cup centre which is what the Mad Dog is making him look today.

I thought this game would be a lot closer than it was. Sans a big second half I think the Knights might rack up another big score.

Very disappointing crowd considering the score last week and the cheap tickets.


Although their next home game vs Broncos would've drawn a lot more had it been on Friday Night or Sunday arvo, barring bad weather and given that they got 17,000+ at their last Monday Night home game vs Cowboys, the Knights should be able to get 20,000+ to the Broncos match.

It's probably the worst game in his career so far.
