Raiders coach Ricky Stuart paid Jarrod Croker the ultimate compliment after
Friday’s 34-30 win over the Bulldogs
as the veteran centre inches closer to his 300th NRL game.
Croker has been painfully close to the milestone for a couple of years now only for injuries and form to threaten his chance of reaching it.
The 32-year-old carried debilitating knee pain during the 2021 season, forcing him to undergo stem-cell surgery in a bid to save his career.
