I thought he was the smartest of them by far, great playmaker and seems like a top bloke. We're still trying to fill the gap he left.People loved to refer to him as the shittest of the big 3 during his Storm days but I sure would have loved him at my club for the last decade.
Not the announcement I thought he was going to make but anyway... I'll guess he'll do that once he finally feels confident enough.
Got owned by Chad Townsend in the only game that’s ever mattered.

Speaking on Triple M's Dead Set Legends, Dan Ginnane read co-host Michael Ennis a quote from Cooper Cronk after Origin III regarding his beautiful kick for Val Holmes (see below).
"To be brutally honest, I was in a state of grace at that particular moment," Cronk said, according to the Daily Telegraph.
"In those few split seconds of time between receiving the ball and landing it at its intended destination, there was no noise in my head whatsoever.
"Every sinew in my body came together - one perfect whole.
"For those that have ever experienced that feeling - and it doesn’t happen very often - will tell you it’s in a whole other place of experience from the usual ego or vanity that drives my game.
"I’m not afraid to own it for what it was. I didn’t feel good or bad about myself afterwards.
"I began to realise that when we are being completely free of our own expectations, the body extends into its natural form, without impediment, and things happen."
Of the salary cap scandal, he said: "Sometimes it takes a small fire in your village to realise that your personal character at that moment in time is made of hay."
At an all-in media conference the day that story appeared, I asked his captain, Cameron Smith, if he knew what village his halfback was referring to.
"The less said about that the better," Smith said, quickly moving along the conversation.
