Jarrod Croker played just one game in 2022, leaving him stranded on 292 games for the Raiders.
The shoulder injury, which required a reconstruction, was a cruel blow given his battle to return in the 2022 season Round 9 game against the Bulldogs.
Croker had fought his way back into the NRL side through the NSW Cup, with endless bus trips up the Hume Highway, only to have his season end in May.
