They also forced three dropouts, and won the penalty count 7-5. Hoping he plays in green again.” Boy I hope this isn’t it for Jarrod Croker. The joy, the relief, the determination and desire in Jarrod Croker’s voice when he spoke earlier in the week down the line about returning to the NRL for Raiders was akin to a teenager on debut. The Canberra Raiders co-captain’s long-awaited return to the NRL ended in heartbreaking scenes, with the 31-year-old walking off the field with a suspected dislocated elbow. Jarrod Croker’s long-awaited return ended in heartbreak, with the Raiders veteran walking off the field with his arm in a sling.

Canberra have ended their five-game losing streak with a 14-4 win over Canterbury but lost Jarrod Croker (shoulder) and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad (cork) to ...

I thought we were just impatient and tried to win the game in that set. I thought the second half we had our chances to get back into the game. "Nobody on the outside understands how hard it is to lose a game and to lose five games in a row and you're not used to it, no one knows what you're going through. I'm happy for the players because every week they get back on the platform to prepare and our senior players have been instrumental in the last five weeks in helping keep everyone upbeat and starting again." To go in 10-0 down we were lucky. We only had 35% of the ball, through our fault.

The Canberra Raiders have recorded a hard-fought victory against the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs on a cold Friday night at GIO Stadium, winning 14-4.

After a Cotric intercept left the Bulldogs short of numbers 10 minutes into the second half, Corey Waddell collected Brad Schneider high to give Canberra the opportunity to extend their lead with a penalty goal. Croker could not convert from the sideline, giving Canberra a 4-0 lead in the 17th minute. It was only a controversial forward pass call against Matt Frawley that denied the home side from extending their lead.

The Canberra Raiders have been in Australia's premier rugby league competition since 1982 - that's 40 years! There's been three grand final triumphs –…

He won the Dally M (2020) and the Clive Churchill (2019) Furner won the Clive Churchill in 1994 and would be my back-up goal kicker. The Raiders have won three grand finals in our 40-year history. As a forward, Wiki was an NZ great, but he was best as a centre in Canberra in my view. Clyde won the Clive Churchill in 1989 and 1991. I choose Glenn Lazarus and Josh Papalii to start. In my opinion, Walters was the best hooker of the modern era pre-Cameron Smith (ie better than Danny Buderus, Ben Elias, Simon Woolford and Steve’s brother Kerrod!) Fans will always remember Mullins’ “miracle” double-chip try against Brisbane in 1995 and his four-try “marathon” against Newcastle in 1994. Mullins just has to be in my starting 13! I choose Belcher as the complete package over many seasons – a rugby league “Mr Consistency” who could create tries as well. Stuart controlled a game with his strategic kicking (in a pre-40/20 era); he also made those amazing “40 metre” lateral passes. With a player like Daley as your five eighth, Jack Wighton, Terry Campese and Chris O’Sullivan don’t get a look in.
