The Cooper Cronk experiment isn’t working for the Roosters — can he change?

Or are you not just contending he is the only problem, but also that he is having a career worst year?
And yes, the poor bastard appears to be experiencing a "career worst year".............IMO

Like I said, until Robbo has the balls to do something about our hooker problem and I see a game from Cronk where he gets good service, I will do my judging then

If Pearce was playing like Cronk is at the moment he’d be getting absolutely hammered for it.
Makes less tackles than Pearce, misses more (made 14 missed 3 yesterday including one on the line for Uate’s first try), 2 kicks dead for 7 tackle sets (one on the 3rd tackle) plus the usual zero line breaks, line beak assists and try assists.
Can’t blame all that on Jake folks.

For the record, do you think he was awful against Manly?
I didn't see him put a foot wrong, except he adds nothing in attack (always been that way).

I saw Reynolds crying in front of me after the game and yelled out 'WHAT ARE YOU CRYING ABOUT?!?!? GO SAY SORRY TO COOPER YOU GRUB!!!' He looked up at me with a pretty broken looking face.

But he ain't the Jake of old.
He went through a stage a few seasons back where he did offer something in attack.
I think his time is just about up, but he's been a great servant to our club.

When the Friend bashing started anew this year, I was very supportive of him. What's changed for me is the lack of his prior ability to stop an opposition front rower in his tracks. He has always needed another bloke in the tackle to slow down the ruck or stop an offload, but, as others have said, he seems to get on the bus for a ride 5m downfield this year.

I can't believe people are bringing up Pearce again. Pearce has done nothing to crow about yet at the Knights. Big deal he helped them win a few games at the start of the season when there was no pressure on the team. Everyone expected the Knights to get beat. There is a reason why Pearce got the punt, he cannot aim up in big games, he was even terrible when we applied the blow torch on him early this year. Pearce is a good front runner, tends to play great in the first 40 minutes of a match, often goes missing in the second 40 minutes.
The other thing that is even funnier, those people who have a go at those bagging Friend, and claiming these people are placing the blame on one player. They claim he is going alright, then they say it is all Cronks fault. The irony is hilarious....

Not sure how I'd go up against someone with flipper hands. Sounds deadly.
No need to worry, you'd just cop a couple wet slaps. And then I'd spill the ball over the try-line or something equally ridiculous.Originally posted by jism
