‘I’ll never get over it’: Croker driven by grand final pain – NRL.COM
Raiders captain Jarrod Croker has spent months avoiding a replay of the 2019 Telstra Premiership grand final.
Raiders captain Jarrod Croker has spent the last nine months avoiding a replay of the 2019 grand final.
He’ll probably spend at least the next decade doing the same, too.
“I’ve seen it walking past at the pub and there’s a replay of it, but don’t really stick my eyes on it to be honest,” Croker says.
“You ask blokes who lost one 30 years ago – they’re not over it. I’ll never get over it. I’d just love to win one.”
The heart and soul of the Green Machine for a decade, there was no more shattered player in the dressing room on the night a boyhood dream was cut agonisingly short at the hands of the Roosters.
What about reviewing the Roosters as preparation for Thursday night, will the grand final highlights get a run?
“I don’t think so,” Croker said. There’ll be enough hype around the media of a grand final rematch, but I won’t be using it
