This isn't how Jarrod Croker thought his career would end. A three-minute cameo against the Brisbane Broncos in round 26.
But if you'd offered that to the Canberra Raiders co-captain at the start of the season he would've bitten your arm off to get it.
Not that he's "packed up shop" just yet. He'll continue to prepare to play the Newcastle Knights in the NRL elimination final at Newcastle on Sunday.
