Jarrod Croker's not only the Canberra Raiders captain, but he's inspiring the next generation of Green Machine leaders as well.

Hudson Young, for one, wants to be a leader like him. Cool, calm, collected - a leader on and off the field. And someone even the young players feel they can turn to.

Young felt grateful and fortunate to be part of Croker's 300^th NRL game and will be one of 16 other members of the Green Machine who will be busting their guts to honour their inspirational skipper with a win over the New Zealand Warriors at Canberra Stadium on Friday.

Ricky Stuart has a decision to make on Jarrod Croker - and it'll decide whether the Raiders veteran goes down in the rugby league history books as a good, or a great player.

Croker will run out for his 300th NRL game on Friday night and eventually retire a one-club legend, that much is for sure.

This move is aimed at strengthening the team's chances of winning the game, as the Warriors are known to be a formidable opponent.
