Roosters should sign Cronk

[King Salvo]

I have grave doubts if we can ever win another comp with MP as Half- sure he was not helped by an unwell Keary who Robbo should not have played and errors- But he didn't take the game on and again his kicking game was solely up and under's and hope - Was very much outplayed by Morgan one on one - I also have to say Coach Robbo's selections didn't help either - why select an unfit Toops and unwell Keary in your 17- Watson could have played 5/8 and Evans into the 17 plus another forward - Again another missed opportunity for a GF appearance like 2014/2015 as a result of poor play and poor coaching- Don't say oh we came 15th last year and made the prelim this year either - should never have finished 15th last year - May not get another chance for a while of a GF appearance as who knows what may happen in 2018.

You have said basically the same thing in about a dozen posts.

They blew it.

I still can't believe we lost that unlosable game.

[Maxy Walker]

No we shouldn't sign Cronk he'd play for one season and retire then you have to find someone else. That's for desperado clubs not us

[rented tracksuit]

I will put it out there now and say that Cronk at any club other than Melbourne will be all but average.

Just because Keary didn't excel doesn't mean he was sick.

Good point Max. We don't need Cronk.

Mistakes is why we lost. Too damb many. Like usual.

Like Penrith in 2003.

Thats what Gordon thought YET he's playing on for another. Pearce doesn't work...period!

[milanja]

Like Penrith in 2003.

not really, 2003 we were class, 2017 would get slaughtered by them, I don't see this as a choke, because we rarely dominated teams this year.

boyd,toops, jwh and SST make that 2003 team, that's it.

Agree.

We have Pearce, and must coach him to be better.

[bondi.boy]

Move Pearce on...pay him out...no problem...IF there's another young half back that's better.
I don't see any such half backs available to sign.

I agree. Pearce has not and may never recover from Origin and his previous stupidity. At best, he could become the utility off the bench.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I don't like Cronk, don't want Cronk at my club, nor do I think he would have success at any other club barring at the Cheats.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I like the idea of Pearce taking a pay cut and becoming a Craig-Wing style utility of the bench - play some 5/8, hooker, ball playing lock.

With everything that has happened to him over the past 3 years (on and off the field) I can't see another team wanting him.

I love Pearce but atm can't see him having the ability to guide any team to a comp.

Anyone know when Nathan Cleary is off contract?

[The Thracian]

You could sign a corner post and it would have as much influence deciding a big game as Pearce does, he does some very good things, then when things get tight and tough, nothing, the bigger the game the bigger the disappearing act

[Bowie79]

Cronk is good in a great team but Morgan is the best in the game by far.. I reckon he's better than JT and without him they wouldn't have won the 2015 GF.

Swap him with pearce last night and we would've won by plenty even with the mistakes.
