Since we lost Eric, how good would it be to see the Cronin name running around in the Blue & Gold again !

We've still got Bert and Horo. Not to mention Reddy and Manoa Thompson's kid. And let's not forget Daniel M-word.

There was also a Scott Ella (nephew) back in the mid-90s.

Peter Cronin won't get a game. He'll sit on the bench in his footy gear and soak up the atmosphere. He's been running around in the micky mouse Group 7 comp. He is no where near ready for anything that remotely resembles the NRL. He starred in that comp, however. Dragons obviously see something in him. I think he'll end up back with his dad at Gerringong in 2011. Worst places to be in this world.

Would have been good to see Cronnin Jnr line up next to Grothe Jnr. Ah well, all good things come to an end, even the 80's.

Just curious is Diamond dave out front again?

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Good player, but not classy enough to make it in the NRL as a back. Could make a good lock however.

I remember them. Now touring retirement villages no doubt.

Cronin knows there are no guarantees he will be signed by the Dragons for the coming season.
"I'm not sure yet. After the trials they said they'll make their decision as to whether they want to keep me or not," he said.
"I've always followed the Eels because of dad, but that doesn't worry me now.
"To get the opportunity to play in the NRL, you'd jump at any club who gave you an offer."

Is he any good? Has anyone here seen him play? I just noticed some bloke on the Parra Facebook page throwing a tantrum that he is playing for the Dragons.

 

[eels81236]

Ordinary.

 

[Gronk]

So what happened ?

 

[natheel]

didnt see much of him, dragons seemed to start shifting it to his wing and the players out that side had butter fingers, he dropped one pass that i saw as it was behind his head from boyd.

so no real indicator of how he actually went.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

If he is going to make it he would need some time in reserve grade to build up his fitness, experience etc. Pretty hard to go from Group 7 to a NRL starting spot unless your are Mick Cronin, Rod Wishart or Keith Beachamp.

I hope no one ever does the young Cronin the disservice of comparing him to his dad. Michael Cronin was an absolute freak. Even with the accolades he has received over the years, he is still a terribly under-rated player. In my opinion, Michael Cronin and Bob Fulton are the two best centres in the history of the game in Australia. They would have made a legendary pair! With Kenny or Lewis at five-eight and Alan Langer at half. Who would the fullback be, I wonder? Langlands, Churchill, Les Johns, Ken Thornett?

Josh Dugan.

Someone's forgeting about Shannon Hegarty.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Skardon and Vowles.

 

[lingard]

Good to see you`re both very keen footy historians. Or are you both too young to know?
