Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has confirmed he will not pick Jarrod Croker against Wests Tigers next week so the captain can play his 300th NRL game on home turf at GIO Stadium in Round 15.
Stuart made the announcement following the side's 33-26 win over the Rabbitohs on Saturday night with the Raiders later releasing a statement confirming their reasoning behind the decision.
"As a club we've made the decision to rest Jarrod against the Tigers next weekend to give him the opportunity to celebrate this very significant and important milestone at our home ground in Canberra," Stuart said.
