Very good point. When has anyone announced going to a club the day before playing that very same team.

IMO the order of the clubs from most to least likely goes like this:

Souths
Dragons
Easts
Titans
Knights
Storm

Very good theories for ruling out the bottom 3.

Have you seen the wording of the press release? "Cooper Cronk has requested of Melbourne Storm a press conference". It doesn't sound like Melbourne wanted or expected the press conference. It sounds like he's told them he's off.


:lol:

Bunniesman in shit prediction shocker.

He was in good company though. Particularly liked the guy that named literally every single Rugby League or Union club in Australia, NZ and England except the Melbourne Storm.

I think that this conference shows that Cooper is well spoken, dedicated and thorough in in processes and thoughts. Really puts him in good stead to move into the business side of football in the long term or coaching. He would likely develop into a great coach under Bellamy (both somewhat intense and focussed)

The vast majority of people that posted in this thread were wrong.

He's 6 months younger than Smith. Doubtful.

BTW - I think there is going to be a high after this and the Storm will put the Knights to the sword now.

Classy.

There is more satisfaction in taking less money and doing what you do best with other professionals by your side than being a glory hound like others i.e hunt, sbw, folau, gasnier.

Refreshing stuff.

"deconstruction of my persona" - I hate to be critical of some of our footballers but a good amount would struggle to engage in this conversation at all. I hope the Storm are positioning to make Coops stay around after the four years (I suspect there was atleast some conversation to the potential of such in the long term)

Only negative about Cronk is he's a Laurie's boy. That's not cool.

I'm tipping him for a devastating Origin series now.

True but you have been crowing about how he is going to Souths, outside this thread, for weeks. Its just another example to add to your long list of misses like Bennett and Boyd.

I wish people would stop using my own words against me.


Anyone remember the game thread last round Storm v Roosters, when bunniesgimp was constantly referring to Cronk as 'Souths future half.

'Ah great work there by souths future half'

:lol::lol:

He has once again proved his reputation as the forum joke.
:lol::lol:

I actually think that press conferences like this add to the 'drama' of the football season, increase media coverage, sponsor profile, engage the fan base. Rugby League actually has a problem with under utilising the potential of every opportunity.
