I agree, and I will bring up hazem el masri up once again as the mirror image of Croker. Both great goalkickers, solid week in week out, never get injured so reliable, and have the occasional defensive/attacking spark. Croker will be just like El Masri and Nathan Merrit. both players were outstanding in their prime but when finally called up for NSW, became far too old. Luckily for El Masri, Game 3 of 2007 was a victory with him slotting 3 goals from the sidline and a try, despite already losing the series. merrit was far from luckly, losing 26-6 or smth like that, never ever again put into origin contention. We should all feel sorry for Croker as he is a great player, who is very consistent and reliable. however I bet that he will make his debut in 2019 or beyond.I am very bias and not a Blues supporter but I can't see how Croker continually misses out. He is consistently good week in week out, kicks at over 80%, great kick chaser and quality on high attacking kicks and his defence has improved out of sight. For a coach of Bennetts caliber to label him as one of the best defensive centers in the comp is a solid rap.
NSW have lost 9/10 series and always talk about blooding new players, Croker would be a great option for generation next

WALKER HAS THE GREATEST UTILITY VALUE EVER. 9 TACKLES, 1 RUN 9 METRES, 1 STUPID STUPID ERROR. AND SOME PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS GOOD.
His purpose was never made clear. He's more of an outside back/five eigth if you try and be nice, but he should have sat on the bench for 80 minutes like josh reynolds when he made his debut. I thought klemmer and fifita's attitude was great today. They should have finished the game.Bit tough to blame walker when he gets 10 minutes game time. Should have been on around 20 to go
