Did he try and snap off Kevin Locke's foot? Looked it like it. What a dickhead.

I wondered about that at the time. I was at the game so didn't have the option of viewing it again. I wouldn't put a bit of grubbery past Crocker.

There were a couple of things Crocker did that raised the eyebrows, especially the Locke foot twist thing...and if you watch the replay at some stage this week look at Crokers face after the incident...guilt all over the ****er.
You'll never know 100% one way or the other how much intent was in it unless the guy talks about it. You can only give him the benefit of doubt and assume he was trying to turtle Locke to slow things down but didn't realise Locke was in a position where he couldn't move

He apologised to Locke straight afterwards. Doesn't mean it wasn't deliberate, but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on that one.

Looked pretty dodgy tbh. No momentum in the tackle and it was a clear lock and twist. Plus he's ex-Melbourne Scum...

We were more interested in ripping on Big Gayve Taylor all game. Man that guy's a softc*ck. So tough when he only goes for halves aye - what a twig. Forearm facialing Locke and Hohaia when they're prone on the ground, talking and laughing it up, then going missing every time his team needed a big man to dominate the middle. Loved his error at a critical stage near the end of the game. Chuck a pair of overalls and a straw hat on him and he'd be a straight up pussy redneck.

Looked pretty bad in slow motion, and because Locke was hurt, but I don't think there was too much in it. Glad Locke is ok

Nah,nah that should be on report. He clearly twisted the ankle in the other direction towards the end of the tackle. Add in a few dirty elbows, some flops in the tackle BUT what about the hit on Maloney (when he was kicking) with no arms, the rule is they have to be attempting to tackle the player he just straight up shouldered him.

Dave Taylor wasn't much better, he had some dirty play during the game. Bro it's not our fault your to fat for Origin!

there was only 1 disgraceful individual yesterday, Steve Lyons !

why?

I thought the refs went ok- a couple of pedantic penalties in the first half, but for the most they stayed out of the way. If anything, we got the better end of the stick

All aggro that a Warrior got ahead of him for Origin, so instead of having a good game to plead his case, he goes out with the elbows then sits on the wing for the rest of his spell.

As twil love to say, he stands out so wide he's known as the fat touchie.

Well. Reason 1.
Locke should not have been penalised for his try attempt.
Yes he dived through the play of the ball area BUT the FIRST infringement was clearly the THREE + souths players who were offside, therefore the Warriors should have got a penalty.
There were a few other dodgy calls as well.

I've still yet to watch the game again, but when i was watching live i thought Crocker spent the last 15 trying to take out players he thought could break the game open--Locke, Maloney, Mateo, etc.

He is a thug, but if you put something on him, he disappears

Still remember a game in 2008, early on in the match Crocker put some filth into Kite, who is 1 of the least aggressive blokes in the comp, and Kite got up and put 3 on Crockers chin and Crockers stats for the game were 33m gained after that :lol:

yea, I think he was under orders.

Lyons tried to root us last time we had him , yesterday he was worse.
He walked off with a touchie at halftime pointing to Bay 27 and laughing his head off.

Rhys Wessers try wasnt a try.
