Jarrod Croker, an NRL legend, evolved from using a styrofoam cup to creating a self-designed kicking tee during his rugby career.

The Canberra Times

Much has changed for Jarrod Croker during his lifelong love of rugby league.

As a young boy, he was a regular visitor to the Cookbundoon soccer fields next door to his home.

"I'd find an old styrofoam cup, tip it upside down, poke holes in it and that would be my kicking tee," he said.

Practice made perfect for the Goulburn Stockmen junior who went on to play for the Canberra Raiders in the NRL from 2009 to 2023. He also captained the team and scored 2374 points, the fourth highest of all time. During his career he played 307 games and booted 915 goals.
