Interesting to see Croker come up so much in this thread.

He leads the comp in points, has 7 tries (tied 3rd in the comp) and leads the comp in line breaks.

Shows stats aren't everything ey?

It's pretty much his terrible defence that gets him a mention.

Terrific ball runner but he's responsible for a good many tries scored against us this season.

Can't see him being dropped though.

Fair enough. You'd watch more Raiders games than me.

He seems to balls up when I'm watching him. Getting tackled into touch, knock ons, penalties etc.

No mate your right - his defence is f**king ordinary. A couple of flashy plays and some think he's a world beater.

You need to stop watching tapes of 2011.
He's probably an injury or two in the backs from a NSW call and rightfully so, he's safe as houses under the bomb, has reign in his brain explosions and is a beast coming off the line taking hit ups. He's been exceptional this year. Including City v Country

His side of the field has conceded about 6 tries all year. 3 of them against the sharks. Defensively he and Berrigan are outstanding. Get a clue. The shoddy defense is on the other wing

Sounds like both sides are farked. Only three tries down his side on the weekend hey. Stevie Turner also bagged a couple in the rep game as well didn't he? Was Ferg on that side?

point is it was an off day down that side.
prior to that game that side has been absolutely brilliant.

As per Steve Turner's try. One was a perfectly weighted kick behind the line, not a lot you can do about that, the other was a 3 on 2 and the 3 won. Again, not a great deal you can do.

You should try watching some games, instead of just picking a few highlights packages and forming an opinion based on that.

The good old, "you should try watching some games" line. Always gets used when differing opinions are given. Fergo has his faults. Rocks and diamonds type player. Doesn't quite have it between the ears. He left the Sharks to join a club with a great chance of winning a Premiership. Oh the irony that could possibly occur.

haters gonna hate i guess. I understand it, the blokes not very likable unless he's playing for your side. Meh, i wont waste time trying to convince you otherwise, Fergo's been great in 2012 and i hope he continues his current form. He's an injury or two away from further rep honours.

I don't wish to single out players as being poor as any player who makes it to first grade is 8,000,000 times better than me, so who am I to throw rocks at someone else's ability?

But I am amazed at people mentioning Blake Ferguson. When the Raiders played the Roosters Ferguson slotted into the fullback role and played it well.

His defence has been pretty good and he makes a lot of metres in attack. He's impressed me in the games I watched and he got a berth in City v Country. That's a representative player having a terrible season. I think an explanation is required there.

Darius Boyd

re: Sandow. It's true he is being singled because of all the hype/money surrounding his signing, however he is playing like shit. I think it was the game against the Knights he looked devoid of all football skills....totally lost.
