"The main reason I left is because it was getting too mentally draining for me.
"I've been lucky to be in some good teams but the constant grind of training and the intensity of being up every week for every team, it got a bit tough to handle.
"Going to England, where it's a different style of game and a new challenge, appeals to me.''
Roughly translated that sounds to me like he's going to the KC to wind down. Not that he'd be the first NRL player to do that, of course (I mean England in general rather than Hull in particular).

I agree with your rough translation.
Given the fact that it's a choice between Super league or retirement shows he doesn't place a high value on the competition. It is arguably less intense than the NRL but it might be a bit tougher than Crocker's expectations.
And what message does this send to his new coach? Can't be d before he even pulls the shirt on.

that's not the first comment he's made since signing his deal that suggests he's coming over her for a slightly easier ride. |

Going by Englands offering in last years WC he could play at 70% and still be head and shoulders above any English forward. Besides, when/if he gets over hear I don't think for one minute he would give anything less then 100%, he is a winner.

Playing at 70% he is still better then any English forward and let's face it, he won't need to play with intensity in SL - no one else does.

Not at all, just don't think people should be allowed to keep coming back with new personas posting the same old same old. |

No, Super League clubs do that job.
Why wouldn't I mention the Kiwis, or Samoans, Tongans, Fijians and the like who Super League is built on?
They are the only quality players in the bloody comp! |

Even though he is KFC bound I hope he does get his visa, he is a phenominal player when fit/not suspended and will only add to the spice of our local derbies and SL in general. Plus his best pal Clint Newton might stay a bit longer if he is on a long contract

The thing you have to remember about Crocker is that, he is an Australian. He doesnt have to be anywhere near his best to belt a pom.
