If you see someone pacing nervously around Canberra Stadium on Sunday, it could be Jarrod Croker's mum, Pauline.

Greg, Croker's dad and Pauline's husband, says she gets a bit worried during games.
That's a lot of worry. On Sunday it'll be 250 NRL games worth. And Greg and Pauline have been there for most of them.
If history's anything to go by, the uber-consistent Croker will produce his usual half a try and three goals - his average across a wonderful career.
Not that it's close to slowing down either. The 28-year-old has plenty of tries and goals in his legs yet. To go on top of his club record haul of both.
"We'll be there with bells on. Don't miss many. Been to probably 90 per cent of the games since he started playing," Greg said.
"It's a super effort. He's achieved so much and you don't sit down and reflect until he retires, and then you think, 'Oh shit she's all over'.
"He's been good to Canberra and they've been good to him.
"We're proud of him and we just take it in our stride. His mother's a bit more nervous than I am.
"I can settle down a bit, but his mother does some lapping around the grounds."
He had the desire and he knew what he wanted to do.
- Greg Croker
It seems what you see now, is what Croker's always been. Calm, quiet, consistent, humble, dependable.
The more things change, the more Croker's stayed the same.
He was the same person when he was playing under-20s for the Raiders. The same person playing under-18s. Which he did in the same year.
As a testament to his skill, Croker started 2008 in the 18s before going up to help the 20s win the inaugural season of the NRL competition.
The following year his NRL career began. Round two against the Sydney Roosters. And he's never looked back.
While he's gone on to bigger and better things. He hasn't changed at all. Just ask his 18s coach Dave Hamilton.
"Sensational human, always has been and couldn't happen to a nicer bloke," Hamilton said.
"That's his family influence I think. They're great people, very stable.
"To do what he's done as a 28-year-old, it's a huge achievement really.
"It shows you how durable he is. That's his training and work ethic too.
"He's done it without any fuss around him ... you take for granted a little bit, what he's done.
"That's his personality. Just pretty humble sort of person."
It was the same from Tony Adam. The 20s coach. Cool under pressure. Clutch kicking from the sidelines. Not just a good footballer, but a good person to boot.
Although Adam had his doubts about Croker's defence early. It was a knock on him in his early NRL career as well. But he's ironed it out to be part of the second best defensive team in the competition.
"He hasn't changed much in however many years it is," Adam said.
"He was always good with the ball in hand, but I thought he had a couple of deficiencies defensively so that to me was going to be his limiting factor.
"Just whether he could iron those out and obviously he has.
"He always had that bit of spark about his attack and could beat a person on the outside."
Although Adam revealed the wild side to Croker. After a 20s win he had a big night out and came to training a bit hungover. Once. As an 18-year-old. That's it.
Until you speak to Greg. There was also a shocking haircut with a blonde stripe through it back in the day. His dad thinks that might've been good mate Todd Carney's influence.
While he always seems so calm and measured under pressure out on the footy field, it seems his sisters Natalie and Naomi knew how to make a young Croker angry.
"[We had] no worries with him, never really any dramas," Greg said.
"The only drama I can think was that stupid haircut when he had a big white stripe through his hair.
"That was the only problem I ever had with him - told him to get it cut.
"That's about the only drama I ever had with him. But his sisters they used to stir him up a bit."
Greg also coached him when he was young. Growing up in Goulburn. Playing for the Stockmen.
He won a premiership as a 16-year-old playing first grade for them. Back in 2007. Against Thirlmere in the group six decider.
Started out as a five-eighth. Like his dad Greg. Also a handy soccer player. There was a soccer pitch over the fence where he was always playing something.
He was a handy cricketer as well. But rugby league was the love.
He's often back in his hometown watching the kids play. Giving back to his community.
Croker told an uncle once if he didn't make it as an NRL player then he'd become a builder like him. The building will have to wait. He's kind of going alright at league.
"He had the desire and he knew what he wanted to do. He had plenty of potential as a kid," Greg said.
"He's brought it all on himself. Good on him for doing it."
