if he leaves the storm it will be bad for rugby league. Imagine if the storm were not at the top of the ladder, they would get about 4k a game and we would lose all the leg work we have gained in Victoria.

They'll get by. Bellamy is a top coach. He'll manufacture another no-name half-back from elsewhere.

Read the thread champ.

Anasta to Tigers, Cronk to Roosters, Pearce to whoever will pay the most for him.

I thought that was pretty simple to follow...

Please don't forget the other pieces in the puzzle - Pearce to the Cowboys & Thurston to the Storm. They'll all be confirmed this Sunday.

I also heard he was going to Parra next year with Quade Cooper and Mitchell Pearce. The spine would look like this:

1. Hayne
2. Hopoate
3. Sandow
4. Pearce
5. Hayne
6. Cooper
7. Cronk

Might just be a rumour though.

And Parramatta finally decided to clone another Hayne so Burt wouldn't be anywhere near the starting lineup...

Hmm with all the talent that Parra are releasing, I expect their team to look more like this:

1. Hayne
2. Hopoate
3. Sandow
4. Pearce
5. Tonga
6. Cooper
7. Cronk (not enjoying his time at Storm)
8. Sam Burgess (released not enjoying his time at Rabbitohs)
9. Farah (released because not enjoying his time at Tigers)
10. Moi Moi
11. SBW
12. Tony Williams (released because not enjoying his time at Manly)
13. Issac Luke (released because not enjoying his time at Rabbitohs)

Of course everyone is dying to be a part of the Parra culture right now and the next supercoach is bringing in the guns after this transition year

Mate if we had two Haynes I'd play one at 5/8 and keep one at fullback.

You have very good contacts. All of this was all supposed to be kept quiet until the press conference this Sunday !

Danny Weilder is now reporting that Darren Lockyer is coming out of retirment once a now scheduled leg transfusion takes place with Cooper Cronk the donor. Locky trying to offically become "immortal".

Have you heard if he's going to Parra? I'll assume as much.


I did just read on Twitter that Shane Tronc is pairing up with Cooper Cronk in the centers at Parra in 2013.

1. Lockyer
2. Hayne
3. Cronk
4. Tronc
5. Hopoate
6. Sandow
7. Moltzen

Moltzen was reportedly about to be traded to Parra when Kearney - asking for a packet of Maltesers - was misheard by the incompetent front office staff. Same thing happend with Chris Sandow. Kearney said he was going away for the weekend to Sandown Raceway to watch the V8's. The rest is history.

NRL officials are formally investigating Gold Coast’s dealings with Cooper Cronk, calling on all other clubs involved in negotiations to divulge how much they’ve offered the Melbourne halfback.
Today’s Rugby League Week reveals the League have intervened amid concerns the Titans could be declared insolvent next month. South Sydney, the Storm and St George Illawarra have been written to by salary cap auditor Ian Schubert and asked about their dealings with Cronk.
Looks like those 4 are the definite contenders then. Knights and Roosters were wild guesses by the Mole.

The Dogs may be smokies now DCE has stayed at Manly? They're a club without a marquee half.

We have the cash. But we aren't after halves. A few weeks ago. I heard we were talking to an international. I assume that was Lewis Brown.

He would be stupid to leave given he will be 30 next year & it would take 2 years to get use to the new style.He has a great partnership with Slater & Smith

Don't mind if he stays or goes.... Always been consistent rather then spectacular. I think he may stay but won't be surprised to see him go.
