For Des to get his extension this week he must have something up his sleeve

Not necessarily... not much proven coaching talent available so resigning Des may have just been a default reaction to the coaching market.

That would surprise me, Cronk already in talks with the Dogs. He's the most honest and intelligent guy in the game, the only self-aware Storm player who doesn't claim the 2 premierships and says they cheated, were caught and copped a fair penalty. He's said he doesn't know what will happen next year, whether it's playing etc. I just can't see a bloke with his integrity going to the Dogs before telling Bellamy et al. He'll get top dollar wherever he goes.

As for Foran, all this 'the Warriors have helped me' and 'we helped Kieran as a person, not a football player' seems all pretty cheap given he'll likely leave in November. I just don't like it for so many reasons, even after as promising as he was on Sunday.

Cooper Cronk said this on NRL 360 tonight - “I’ve got no interest in taking offers or looking at offers or even considering offers from Sydney any time soon, and I’m talking over a couple of months period, because I actually don’t know if I want to play on next year,” Cronk said.

Yeah I watched that NRL 360 episode and I believe he genuinely hasn't decided yet. He knows for certain he needs to move to Sydney after this season. Everything else it still way up in the air and I don't blame him for wanting to focus on the remainder of this season a bit more before he starts shopping himself around, unless of course he retires.

If I were him I'd steer clear of the Tigers so it sounds like the best contenders are Bulldogs or Eels.
