Jarrod Croker: about to destroy record books near you

[AlwaysGreen]

Long lauded as the best young centre in the game and an immortal of City v Country football, Jarrod is poised to break all types of records.

Plays his 250th game this week at just 28 years of age.

At number 8 on the all time pointscorer list and poised to set a pointscoring record that may never be topped.

Already 121 tries to his name with many more to come.

Possibly in the top 40 captains of the NRL era.

Will be considered in the top echelon of players over the last 50 years - it's time to celebrate Jarrod's sterling career.

Obviously a troll thread but it’s true that Croker may well break a few records, point scoring being one of the most likely ones. He’s no superstar but IMO he’s vastly underrated.

 

[mozza91]

He could very well be the 3rd best centre at his club.

 

[THE CHAMP]

He’s the John Morris of point scoring

 

[dogslife]

And he's not even French!

 

[Vic Mackey]

 

[Jean Capdouze]

And he's not even French!

What have the French got to do with this?

 

[hineyrulz]

4/10

 

[Life's Good]

He sure is clocking up some big numbers. The 121 tries/250 games is a pretty good strike rate. The number of tries he has let in is an even more impressive number....

Best young centre in the game

 

[Joeboy]

More than happy for him to topple the balding accountant’s records for points and appearances. The more smith can be deprived of records the better

 

[myrrh ken]

He's the embodiment of a certificate of participation award

 

[BadnMean]

He'll be holding the Winfield Cup (whatever they try and call it these days) aloft in a couple of months.

BYC in the game

some say 4th, depending on how you feel about Bj, Wighton and Cotric!
And would STILL be walk up start for most NRL clubs, most especially yours

Dem Raiders go deeeep.
Croker is going to hold a ton of NRL records and so he should. What a star

 

[mave]

Records coming out of his ears, but not a premiership to be seen.

This is BYCs future.

The best playa to ever don the white headgear.

 

[Fangs]

Many young children playing rugby league now sport white headgear due to young Croker.

I’d rather have Kyle Lovett and an on contract Wes Naiqama as my centres ahead of Croker with his shit defence, non existent passing game and constant whinging.

I'd say he'll probably be "pushed out" by the age of 31-32 as younger players come through and Croker starts to decline a bit with age. Unfortunately for him that probably won't leave him enough time to get those records, especially if Smith plays another year. Good luck to the bloke though.

That's good. Acceptance of who and what you are is a good thing for the fan base. Kyle Lovett and Wes Naiqama are the sort of players that team deserves.
