I doubt Parra want him. But Burnie is no fool. He will want to know his asking price so he can atleast tell the media we coudlnt get close to the Roosters offer.
If every other Sydney clubs says we are not interested the Rooster can offer less or atleast say they did.
Yep, Bernie's on top of the situation...

Crighton is special. Would you prefer him or Hess? Id lean towards Hess due too size.

Crichton is a brilliant young player, but Coen Hess is a freak of nature.

A guy that size shouldn't be able to move with the agility that Hess possesses. He's incredible.

What's the 'big gamble' exactly? He's achieved everything in the game. He is just looking for a retirement fund. He doesn't need to win another premiership. He just needs to get paid. If he goes to another strong club he won't even be made to look bad, but even if he does who cares? He'll get paid, he's still played for Australia and Queensland, and won two premierships plus two Dally M medals.

Playing a year or two too long won't change any of that. It just means he will earn another $1M+
Cronk is an absolute professional ... we wont play on just to get paid - he will make any team better ... but agree, i dont think he will wont to go to a team thats not already strong

He will make any team stronger but not by as much as some merkins might think. If he went to a shitty club they would just become less shitty. If he went to a mid-table club they wouldn't suddenly become contenders unless halfback was already their weakest area.

it's not just his ability as a player

cronk is one of the best in the league at game management knowing how to pry open defence or get repeat sets and build pressure

if he can pass some of those skills on to your other players whatever you pay for him is money well spent

I'd rather take Friend or Maria after Cronk signs with the Chooks.

I like Crichton, but I can imagine the howls here one day when people realise that he is not a giant.
