Do you think Cooper Cronk's record of six premierships in the NRL era will ever be equalled?

[TheDalek079]

Four legitimate premierships from nine grand final appearances - not enough justifying of immortal status on its own.

Good thing he also has Dally M awards, a Clive Churchill medal, a golden Boot, two world cups and many origin series victories to add to his claim of immortality.

Also, it's six premierships

Made a very little go a long, long way.

And he scored Tara Rushton.

She's one fine looking beard. Shame Cronk can't just be himself

I honestly think he should be made an immortal. I never thought I would think so. But what he did for the Roosters, intangibles, can't be quantified.

Immortals should only be the very best players of their generation. Cronk was always that step below Smith and Thurston which rules him out imo

I said legit premierships. And I never said that the entirety of his achievements wouldn't at least put him into consideration for immortal status.

No need to get your knickers in a knot over an argument I didn't actually make.

4 for Melbourne

I’m trying to find some evidence of the 3rd and 4th...there’s 2012 and 2017, can’t see the other premierships anywhere??

 

[BennyV]

You mean 9?

It is... as is 6 wins from 9 GFs which more accurately tells the story you are trying to put forward.

Yes, sorry. Meant to say 4 premierships from 9 GFs!

His record is also heavily tainted by playing a significant role in a team that received the wooden spoon. He played in all bar 3 games that year. So seems people are speaking fairly highly of him based on the last 2 years but ignoring some of the major failures of his early career...

With the star-studded team around him in 2010, you'd expect far better.

Two filing cabinets?

He holds the record for number of asterisks after grand finals.

 

[>zuzu<]

Playing in 9 Grand Finals for 4 premierships. Does that make him the biggest premiership loser of the modern era?

Dale Finucane is already at 4 GF losses.

 

[9701]

cronk? no he won 4,
Walters won 6

and if anyone wants to fight about 97, 1v1 at Beenleigh station in 15

I prefer to do my beatdowns at the Aquarium.

 

[ram raid]

When all said and done, a f**king awesome career.

16 seasons. Missed finals once. Played in 9 GFs and won 6 on the day.

Missed finals once.

Had some good Origin moments too

[TheDalek079]

Definitely one of the all time greats. Probably in the top five halfbacks ever.

I only do my fighting at the Sydney Aquarium...

Its a half according to Mal Reilly
You can fight him

At 71, he's got you covered

Im a big cronk fan(roosters days) what he done was and is nothing short of incredible. Deserves all the praise for the little 1 percenters on and off the field for the roosters to go back to back.. but he only won 4 preimerships. The nrl needs to be more strict on Melbourne still counting those preimerships they won after systematically rorting the cap and embarrassing the league. Goes to show how pitiful snd weak the nrl for allowing them to do so on a constant basis.
