Celebrate Croker’s Record
Unfortunately Jarrod Croker was playing at Jubilee Stadium when he broke the Raiders all-time leading point scoring record. Fortunately for Raiders fans at the game this Sunday it gives us an excuse to celebrate his achievement! There will be plenty of special things happening around the ground to celebrate Jarrod’s point scoring prowess.
Special commemorative Jarrod Croker headgears will be handed out in specific areas of the stadium. The best way to make sure you get one is to head up to the Raiders members lounge where the first 100 people into the lounge after gates open will receive one.
