The Canberra Raiders' games record holder has backed Jarrod Croker to have an immediate impact in his comeback as he edges closer to becoming just the second player in club history to reach 300 NRL games.
The Raiders have given fans more to jeer than cheer about so far this season, but the return of cult hero Croker is something everyone can get behind.
The centre has a tough gig in his first appearance in the senior side in nearly a year.
