Imagine having
1.Hoppa
6.Hayne
7.Sandow
9.Cronk (c)
He would be a perfect 9 and a leader just like Smith..IMO

of all the Storm big 4 (I know Inglis has gone) Cronk was the most average imo

even Inglis has been poor by his Storm standards now, Cronk will be paid overs and probably just be another average NRL halfback

he's way overrated imo

As much as i hate the 3 contract Merkin Smith is easily the best player of the Storm 3 and as good as the other two are he makes them and the rest of that team look better than they really are. And on the other hand we have Keating :crazy:

If there is any truth to long term rumours of Farah not getting on with Sheens, would be good if we made a play at Robbie.

You can't really afford to have superstars in all of positions 1,6,7 and 9. I'd be interested to see how Cronk plays at a club other than the Storm. Cameron Smith makes him look a lot better than he actually is.

That's what half these nitwits don't understand.

The Storm have Smith and Slater who are worth top dollar, and Cronk who is soon going to be on top dollar.

But not at the Storm.

They'll replace him. You need a good spine, with a couple of stars but you're wasting money having four blokes on a combined $2 million fighting over the decision-making.

Even some of your spine players have to just play a role - look at Cam Smith in the Queensland Origin team. He plays a very different (limited) role to when he's playing for Melbourne, where he runs the show.

Cronk is holding a media conference tomorrow to announce his future.. (Will stay with the Storm is my tip)

who says Cronk isn't coming here? no one knows where he's going.
Maybe Hindy has told us already he isn't playing on and we are using his money plus a couple of others who are moving on and we signed him? i doubt it but stranger things have happened. This one not even the media know what he is doing normally something is leaked.

This has nothing to do with nothing..I just like it, and remembered it when P-M was talking about leaks...

PIDDLING PETE

Well a farmer's dog once came to town, by the christian name of Pete
And he was a hound of high renown and his looks were hard to beat
And as he walked in to the town 'twas beautiful to see
His work on every corner and his mark on every tree
As he watered every gateway and he never missed a post
'Cause piddling was his masterpiece and piddling was his boast

Well the city dogs stood looking on with a deep and envious rage
To see this simple country dog, the piddler of the age
They sniffed him over one by one and they sniffed him two by two
But noble Pete in high disdain stood still till they were through
And as they sniffed him over, their praise for him ran high
And when one sniffed him underneath Pete piddled in his eye

Well then just to show these city dogs that he didn't give a damn
Pete strolled into the grocer's shop and he piddled on the ham
Piddled on the onions and he piddled on the floor
And when the grocer kicked him out, Pete piddled on the door
Well behind him all the city dogs debated what to do
They'd hold a piddling contest to show him who was who

Well they showed Pete all the piddling posts that they knew about the town
They started out with many a wink to get the poor dog down
But Pete was with them every trick with vigor and with vim
For a thousand piddles more or less were all the same to him
And all along went noble Pete with hind leg kicking high
While most were lifting legs in bluff or piddling mighty dry
And on and on went noble Pete as he watered every sandhill
And all the city champions were piddled to a standstill

Well then Pete an exhibition gave in all the ways to piddle
Like double drips and fancy flips and now and then a dribble
And all the time the country dog did neither wink nor grin
But piddled blithely out of town as he had piddled in
Now the city dogs said, "So long Pete, you're piddling did defeat us?"
But no one ever put them wise that Pete had diabetes



Now, as you were, back to the topic.....
