If Cronk joins the Roosters, the 2018 competition is over before it starts

[Valheru]

"Pearce's departure now gives the Roosters about $1 million to play with in their salary cap, although they have dismissed the idea of signing Jarryd Hayne, who wants out of the Gold Coast Titans so he can return to Sydney for family reasons."

So a reporter with no quote from anyone at the roosters.

We all know it gives them far less than that to play with as far as next year's cap is concerned.

I would say that Andrew Webster has more credibility than most...

 

[Saxon]

So he's run off, showing that (as most of us suspected) he's not actually a team player and it's about what's good for Mythell and not what's good for the Roosters.

Now normally I would say that loyalty (disloyalty) is a two way street, but in this case I think the Roosters have been super tolerant and supportive of a petulant brat with serious behavioural problems.

 

[JJ]

What bullshit, the Roosters shafted him he had every right to want out

On th OP, Albert is amazingly good at picking the winner

 

[Dodgy]

Roosters odds have blown out a bit with Maloney joining the Panthers!

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

With the signing of Angus Crichton, the Roosters look likely to get back to back premierships in 2018 and 2019. That will be a first in the history of Todd Greenberg's NRL.

So the Roosters have signed a Todd Greenberg as well? Sounds about right....

They haven’t even won one and your already got them as going back to back. Your delusional buddy. Why not go with the more realistic option of the Storm going back to back.

Because the Storm star play maker is with the Sydney Roosters. He will bring his wisdom and experience to one of the greatest teams to ever don rugby league jerseys. The Sydney Roosters have Cronk's talent to guide the Roosters strike weapons -- Tedesco, Mitchell, Keary and Cordner -- to even greater success.

More important, will the Roosters win The Shield

Can he produce the same quality for the Chooks without Smith and Slater helping him? He looked like he was slowing down at the World Cup aswell tbh. Overall he’ll be good but I don’t think he’ll win you a comp.

He'll be lighter now with all that lead removed from his pencil

Yes Cronk may have gone to the Chooks but as Mozza said how will he go without Smith and Slater. He has to get used to a different system and different players. Everyone knows that Cronk is a very structured player and when that structure isn’t there he isn’t that effective. Now while Croft is still young, it will be much easier for him to slot into the Storm then it will for Cronk to gel with the Roosters. Also pointed out that Cronks form was well down this year. He was not the reason Melbourne were so good, he was basically a passenger for most of the year, I mean Slater had more try assists then Cronk had

 

[Perth Red]

Cronk knew his role at storm and played it to perfection. Without the game contollers around him at roosters it is going to be very interesting to see if he can step up and be the sole leader of the team. He is meticulous as a player though so if anyone can it you’d put money on him. He does like discipline though s9 n9t sure how he will go with roosters given some of their track record of players not giving a f**k. Going to be very Interesting to see how he goes.

If Robbo can put the frighteners on the lads like Bellamy does, 'listen to Cooper or else', the Roosters will be fine

 

[Pedge1971]

Did u swallow Bellamys nuts whole or did u have a chew and taste the juice?


Come in spinner, hooked another one, shallow end , too easy etc.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Cooper Cronk is an awesome player now playing in an awesome team. Tedesco is Billy Slater's successor. Latrell Mitchell; is a freak. Luke Keary is a brilliant running half. Coops could not ask for more.

Melbourne will have to adjust to Brodie Croft. IMO they should have gone for the Canadian international Rylie Jacks.

 

[Spot On]

The party boys will have to give up the party for that to happen.

Nck has admitted they've screwed up with the roster they had - too many party boys.

How do they ensure the boys stay off the grog and ..... stuff. Cronk going to get his Jedi happening?

 

[Bandwagon]

Too many people here underestimating the power of Cronk in the huddles.


Forget the game play, it is the huddles where wars are won and lost.
