Would you expect your work place to let you have a weekend off to attend the wedding of someone you are close to, if notified in advance?
I don’t have a problem with the wedding thing.
But the holding the guy back so 300 is a home game… like Milch said, what if Croker does a hammy at training? What if they lose by 2 against the Tigers because of poor goalkicking?
I don’t really believe any of the celebrations for 300 couldn’t happen before game 301
It’s also a bit unintentionally disrespectful to Croker, who I imagine as a professional athlete wants to play and help his team win rather than have a massive circle jerk over a large but ultimately arbitrary number of games played.
Plus if he was Mal Meninga v2 rather than a decent club pro his coach wouldn’t let him sit out.
