Canberra Raiders coach Ricky Stuart has revealed Jarrod Croker's return to the NRL was driven by the playing group during the week.
Croker was the surprise addition on Tuesday afternoon when Stuart named his team to play the Brisbane Broncos in Round 6, with the green machine coming away with a surprise 20 points to 14 win at Suncorp Stadium.
The win, just the second of the year for Canberra, also handed the Broncos their first loss of the year.
