Jarrod Croker will retire as a Raiders legend.
But if he had his way, he would be leaving the game in the same fashion as he entered first grade in 2009.
Croker's first grade debut had little fanfare and that's how he wanted it. His approach to any form of fanfare would be considered by most to be low-key. His approach is based on a 'team first' philosophy.
Despite his desire to keep it moderate, there will be plenty of fanfare around his imminent retirement at the end of this season. That is guaranteed. The celebration witnessed when he ran out for his 300th in June is a testament to this happening.
