Cronk thinking of retiring at the end of the season

I like the way he drinks his beers if you've seen the footage !!

Aha I have indeed.

I wouldn't mind a drink from that fountain too!

Oh to be a pro footy player. I'd spend more time doing that than playing footy haha

[Moose]

Even without tertiary education?

As long as you've finished high school. If there's big enough donations they'll let you in. Why do you think all these idiotic kids of rich people are at stanford and yale?

Nor has he torn a pec sidelining him for over half the season.....

This is very true.

I have no doubt that Cooper has told the club what his intentions are for next year, therefore giving them time to plan. There is no way the club would stand for not knowing their halfback position for 2019. Also Cooper is a pro so he won’t leave the club hanging.

We know he is leaving at the end of 2019 regardless, so there must be some sort of plan.

I would say Radley but he is now a forward. Or is he? I mean with his development the way its going, he could be a better option for 2019 (with us signing a couple of forwards and a decent outside back after releasing Fergo, Cronk, Robinson, FPN and Baptiste).

C’mon mate Rads is a backrower and that’s that.

Yep lets get rid of Pearce they said. We should have never let him go. It's not like we are going all guns blazing and doing better with cronk. You're all muppets who said get rid of pearce.

The bloke was a proven perennial under achiever, on and off the field, you will be saying Pearce who when OSullivan gets his chance after learning his trade from the best in the business, not some over hyped chump that was such a terrible example for our young blokes

yeah... an under achiever alright.. no wonder our club gets the rep for "buying premierships" its the way our fans act... unless we win every season we have the sword and chopping block out... there are fans out there that would do anything to see their club achieve what our club has in the last 20 years... I feel like a broken record but Pearce was never the issue.. he was a good halfback that was the scape goat for a shitty fowards performance last year against a damaged cowboys side... and the guy bled red white and blue... unlike cronk.. we as fans demand our players to have loyalty to the club yet we show no loyalty to our one club players... sad.... and to top it off everyone that shat on Pearce are too blind or stubborn to admit replacing him with Cronk was WRONG.

[bondi.boy]

Now I wish we still had Pearce.

****ing right on son!
A decent half back who can defend, decent kicking game and most importantly tried his heart every game. PLUS he would have given another solid 3-4 years. BUT NARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP lets get cronk!!!
How'd that go ? DOG SHIT (even worst if he leaves and doesn't play on 2019)

We have been a merciless heartless club for as long as can be remembered, no two thoughts about that. Buy success and accept no failure. As a fan of the roosters, it is just something that has to be accepted.

In saying that, we have plenty of players who have played record games with us, and do have great tradition.

but if you want a romantic story, it’s time to follow the bunnies or dragons. Even though their successes recently involve buying players to create a competitive team.

rugby league, like many other sports is just a business, the biggest sports in the world are always buying and trading the best. Best to not get attached to a certain player anymore, and just follow the club.

It was his poor influence on younger players in the squad over many years that was the deciding factor in the end.
