Michael "Croc" Crocker (born 21 June 1980) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played in the 2000s and 2010s.

Having won the 2002 NRL Premiership, the Roosters travelled to England to play the 2003 World Club Challenge against Super League champions, St Helens R.F.C.

Crocker played for the Roosters at second-row forward in their 2004 NRL Grand Final loss against cross-Sydney rivals, the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

He was part of the victorious Melbourne Storm 2007 NRL Grand Final team against Manly-Warringah,[11] although this premiership was later stripped due to a salary cap breach.

Chasing a high bomb kicked by Greg Inglis, Crocker pursued the ball to make a tackle on Stewart alongside fellow Storm player Billy Slater.

Crocker's outstanding performance in the Grand Final earned him a position in the 2007 New Zealand v Australia Centenary Test, his first international selection since 2004.

[14] At the end of the season, Crocker was named in the Australia team for the 2008 Rugby League World Cup,[15] and was due to play but had to withdraw through a rib injury sustained in the grand final.

[16] In an interview with media regarding players for the 2008 World Cup team Australian national coach Ricky Stuart declared English-bound forward Crocker had played his last game for Australia due to his pending defection to English club Hull F.C.

[26] The British High Commission rejected Crocker's appeal to be allowed to work in the UK in May 2009, but did not give an official reason.

"[29] Notorious for his tough playing style combined with high and sometimes dangerous tackles, Crocker has missed a number of games through suspension.
