Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Melbourne @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

Croker is never anything but ordinary and hetho has been pretty decent, that's definitely a step backwards.

That’s harsh. He’s been pretty solid but unspectacular most of the time in the minimum minutes he’s got during his FG career. Was shocking in that first trial though.

Game Day gents!! See us winning this one and winning comfortably. I think Cogger and Brailey is going to instantly and dramatically improve the speed of our attack and we should be putting on 4 or 5 tries today.

Croker offers something different to our other middles and is still very young. I hope he kicks on and shows why he was so highly rated as a teen. He is going to need to step up because the depth we have now means he can be dropped any game.

While it would be a bad state of things if Croker was in your starting side every week he’s a very solid replacement.

Lucas and Croker coming in size wise is a concern but Storm’s pack is small too so that shouldn’t be an excuse.

 

[Yosh]

Is Croker small? He looks bigger than Leo?

 

[Knight Tales]

Still waiting for Hetherington to have any form of influence in changing a match off the bench outside of getting suspended or sent off. Not saying Croker is better. But Jack has been a massive disappointment.

 

[PhilGould]

Hetherington was clearly better for the second half of last season and the opening 2 rounds.

I like Croker but he's not suited as an impact player off the bench. Maybe if Elliott goes down he can get a real run.

has been our best forward in first two games

He's best suited as a NSW Cup player.

Apparently bigger than Hetherington and Leo.. Doesn't play like it.

 

[Yosh]

I think he should play a different style to our other forwards. He should try to play the Elliot role or even model his game after Yeo. I think just taking hitups and trying to play aggressively doesn't best make use of his abilities.

 

[Knight Tales]

He is second guessing his game. His natural game was to go after other forwards like a badge of honour. I was hoping he could bottle that rage and yet make it less reckless. He has gone the other way. And here we are.

yeh just looked at the player profiles. Surely they're wrong. Crocker looks tiny out there compared to most forwards.

Go Knights!

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Jeez we sure know how to kick out on the full don't we

 

[Tom155]

poor start

 

[SamSepi0l]

So glad our reserve half is playing

 

[Loose Cannon]

Jeez we sure know how to kick out on the full don't we

It’s ingrained in the system.

 

[Haffa]

Crossland thinks he’s passing to a much taller half.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Can we get 2023 Crossland back yet?

 

[perverse]

That is the sloppiest shit from Crossland. Is he for real? It's dead set like he's rewound the clock 12 months and just back to his normal awful self.
