Cronk...What will you do Today?

[ism22]

Penwiff will test us, as will the Rain. Actually sadly it's a lot like last year. A lot of very tight wins and losses. Any team can be dangerous on their day.

Agreed. They are arguably the team to beat and the only way we are gonna make the top 4 is if we start beating teams like the Riff.

Panthers, Storm, Bye, Titans, Manly.

If we can get win all 5 (including the bye) then we will be extremely well placed.

To an extent I think cronk is doing what he was brought here to do. He is a calming influence on a team that is well know for its low completion rate and dare I say it silly plays.

What I have seen he is able to put in at 100 % at what seems to be a high tempo whilst remaining calm and still make good decisions. At one point in the Brisbane game you could see him looking like he was going to take off he was flapping his arms that hard trying to get the guys to settle down.

On field wise I am still looking forward to him combining with our second rowers. I may be off the mark but I seem to remember him for that when he wasn't playing for us. So fingers crossed there.

off field I think he would be invaluable his professionalism and analytical mind would have to be a massive plus not only to the young blokes but hopefully to the older guys as well.

Its even worse when people are saying we would have been better off with Pearce? How do they know that? He got injured this year, we would of been stuck with Cornish.

cronk shouldn’t escape criticism, but we are sitting healthy in 6th halfway through the year.

Pearce has nothing to do with this, why does he get brought up every time Cronk correctly gets criticised? This is the bullshit mentality of blindly kissing Cronk’s arse that is annoying to see. He’s done nothing to warrant such adulation.

You're right about Pearce.........................he's newcastles problem now.

You talking about Pearce? I Agree

we will get minimum 4 wins from those games, The Riff are in the the same boat as us, winning ugly, they have been extremely lucky in plenty of games this season

Robbos tactics and Cronks lack of experience will see us fall victim to the bye.
We need Pearce back as our halves coach.

LOL Classic! Equal to your best Eddie.

Cronk has played a few good games for us this year, but still not anywhere near his previous form for Melbourne.

[roosterchook]

We are playing against the best team in the comp not paramatta with our halves mostly mediocre. I just hope our for and against doesn't take too much of a beating but absolutely no chance of a win here on current scrappy form, very scrappy and unreliable form. We've scraped home by 2 points in our last 2 games one of them against lowly Newcastle and we almost lost on the death. Against Origin halves in deadly form we have zilch chance of victory and will be struggling to stop a complete onslaught. Penrith by 30.

Well you tipped the Warriors to flog us by 50 when we went over the Dutch last time we played them.

I'm now feeling confident we will win....

We gotta see through these plots.
Robbo has been planning to undermine our great club from within ever since he got the job. Yeah , he helped us get a premiership first up, but that was just to give us a false sense of security so we would be oblivious to his evil schemes.
Cronk is in on it.
I heard he was running up the tunnel to take the field at one of our home games wearing a Melbourne jersey.
Luckily one of our officials spotted this treason and made him change.
Some on the pen know whats going on,

Seeing this thread will be relevant again tomorrow and on each match day up to the Grand FInal.....

Why don't we make this thread a sticky?
