Standing in front of his wife, kids and teammates, some legendary Canberra Raiders figures and a bustling media pack, Jarrod Croker admits his 300th NRL game finally feels real.
It looked a near-impossibility at times when he managed just 13 games in two years due to a slew of injuries, but Croker will become just the second Raider to join the 300 club when they host the NZ Warriors on Friday.
The club's all-time leading try and points-scorer could well sell out GIO Stadium, a testament to the impact he's had on the Canberra community since debuting back in 2009.
