  • Cronk Interview

    Interesting comment from Cronk on how Keary and Walker don’t listen to him on the importance of lead-up work and how he enjoys coaching the youngsters more cause they listen.

    Now I know you could say it was tongue-in-cheek but personally I would read into it a little further and say he isn’t all that happy about it. With his intellect, he’s not one to make frivolous comments like that.

    Thoughts peeps?

      I thought the same thing but the reality is that our halves were terrible for most of the year, and he was the halves coach.

      I think Cronk is an all time great halfback but the jury is still out on his coaching ability.

        Reminds me of the old adage you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink it.

          It doesn’t appear that the halves coach is very flexible in his coaching methods

            My understanding is that he plays more of a buddy kinda role rather than strictly 'coaching' anybody? Will watch the video at some point though. Surely our on Roosters TV wouldn't have published it unless it was tongue in cheek (and a compliment to our juniors who most probably hate coaching compared with doing NRL stuff).

                It’s a bit of banter, don’t over think it.

                    He’s always looking for reasons to bag the club out

                      I wonder did Cronk have any input in Sammy Walkers stint in Reggie's last year.
                      He came back a better player and I think he will be bigger and better in 2024

                        Cronk delivered 2 premierships. He can say what ever he likes! He could call me a carnt and i'd say thank you.

                          I think you've missed my point, was it his idea to swap Walker and Kez?

                          Was it his idea to put Manu at 6? Our halves have been up and down since he retired.

                          I am just asking the question about his coaching results.

                            I thought Trent Robinson was Head Coach....why would Cronk be making big calls like that
