No need for Two Jags to shift his considerable bulk into motion. The biggest hurdle any club wanting to sign Crocker will need to overcome is his shiny new 3 year contract.
The one with the SL get out clause in it

It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.

For value for money, i'd take Galea over Crocker.
it just goes to show you know nothing about rugby! taking Galea over Crocker is madness,what on earth has Galea done? 1 grand final to what has Crocker done?????

So applying that logic then Lee Radford is far superior to both of these players?
And I however believe Galea to be the more skillful of the two.
This doesn't necessarily mean I think he is the better player.

Correct. Furthermore it's not unknown for Aussie superstars to not quite hit the same heights in SL as the do in the NRL. Galea has been consistently good and often excellent. Crocker, while it is likely he would be (even at his age) an excellent signing for any SL club, is unproven in the British game, much of which is played in cold, damp or even icy conditions.
Let's just see what happens eh? But, if only for the laugh, he would be a fantastic signing for Rovers. If I had the money I would pay it myself!

Crocker's salary IMO would be nearly double Galea's, that's what I was getting at re value for money.
And as a FC fan I can still see class, and Galea's performance at Edinburgh is equal to any back row forward playing league this year.
I wouldn't want Rovers to sign Crocker over Galea. I'd also like to think we can move on from trying to pull the rug from under Hull Fc's feet all the time by trying to undermine them constantly off the pitch.
We are doing the business on the pitch, and leaving them behind in the process, that's enough for me.

I'M SURE THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE FACT THAT THE FRONT RUNNERS FOR THE 2009 MEDIA WHINGING AWARD ARE FROM GATESHEAD AND HULL FC, FORMERLY THE B*ST*RD-TWINS OF ONE OF RUGBY LEAGUE'S LOUSIER IDEAS.

Galea has played every game this season, he can be excused for his form dipping from the middle part of the year, what's Manu's excuse?
