cronk has scored the final try of the game on a number of occasions for the storm when he comes off the bench with say 20 min to go.....

well thats your opinion....

just like the knights johns wont be around forever ethier....and a young guy will have to take over.

cronk wont do it over night...and he wont win us a grand final in his first year at half...but he will grow as a player.

I also think you are over-rating orford a bit...he is nowhere near as good as you think he is IMO.

Orford is nowhere near as good ???....wake up !!!!... :lol: :roll: :lol: :roll:

you're the one who needs waking up. Orford can be a very good halfback but he certainly goes MIA a hell of a lot more often. He's totally over rated.

Matt Kicks, scores tries, sets up tries, tackles. We're going to miss the Ox. How many clubs make the finals year 1? The Dragons don't count.

Would you still be saying this if he was staying with us ???...perhaps if he had Hilly there to support to him then he might not go MIA.

Take a chill pill Thunderchuck...

if you are to blind or dumb to see that orford has been MIA this year then tough titties...you keep believing that its all hills fault...but ill have a smile on my face when we finally see orford leave.

Thunderstruck there's a reason why Manly and Souths wanted to steal him away from us(Manly did in the end) he's a great half back, Souths wanted a half back that knows the job, Manly wanted him so they can have a back-up kicker and to give Monas a break.

Nope, Cronk is ours. Unlike Manly Melbourne doesn't get rid of very promising half backs for cost a plenty jokes.

Yeah, the reason is they kept missing the fact that he goes missing a lot of the times when the Storm needed him to fire up and that he's extremely gun shy when faced with a much better halfback. Also, he goes underground whenever rep jersey gets mentioned.

As far as kicking goes, you're kidding. The guy's on 60%, he's not worth getting for his goal kicking rate. You got Michael Witt who's been converting them all season long, Orford only does it mostly from right in front or near the posts and he only kicks from his good side. Not because Bellamy made him share the duties but it's why we have Cam kicking from the other side

Not saying that it is all Hill's fault but how can Orford settle his combinations when Hilly is in and out...as for having a smile on ya face...yes Orford has gone MIA but it is better than having a half back that is a clear pretender to Ox.

Don't get me wrong, Orford is not my favorite player but Cronk will do no better.. :cool:
