    I'm expecting cronk there.
    It wouldn't suprise me if the injury turned out to be severe bruising on the joint.

    If the opposite is announced I'll swiftly be lining up at the nearest bar.

      They have done just that with a half a few times this season so the players will have prepared for such a scenario.

      And on many occasions this squad has used only 3 bench players.

      And we rarely use our allocated changes in a game.

      He only comes on if we are well up or if we need a Field Goal.

      Robbo is ballsy enough to pull such a move IMO.

      That thought has crossed my mind.
      I respect all our moderators here. Past present and even future. Always have done and always will do a wonderful job.

        They were missing Bromwich, Kaufusi and Finucane too; but all things considered we had more improvement in us out of that game than they did.

        Oh and we still would have won if Latrell didn't miss that goal almost from in front.
        And their only try was off a blatant obstruction. Not to mention they were all offside when Cronk went for his field goal.

          I can’t see us losing, even if Cronk doesn’t play (but I think he will).

          Trust in Trent.

            Collins only played 6 minutes last week. Not a big price to pay to have Cooper around.

                Yes mate I think Cronk off the bench is one of the many options that would have been considered. It could work. Bring him on with 20 or 30 minutes to go to ice the finish if it’s close, maybe. Seems like a bit of an each way bet though. Would probably rather he played the full 80 or not at all.

                    That’s a big call I don’t think Friend has ever even gotten a man of the match award.

                    I am supremely confident of a win today.

                      • If this article can be trusted, by the sounds of it Coops is playing. Nice to know Victor will have his back (or shoulder in this case)

                          • Ok, there’s a lot of talk about Cronk.
                            This game will be won in the forwards, so we can win without him.

                            • In my view, Cronk wasn't brought here just to win the GF. He was brought in to instil his work ethic and professionalism that he had at the storm. He has done that and hopefully other players have picked up on that and can take over if he's not playing tonight. I want him to be out there today and will be worried if he wasn't but that's just worry from the unknown. I do know that we have done it before this year with less players and that is enough to ease worries. I just hope that Keary is not asked to 'shoulder' all the attack structure for tonight and others take it upon themselves to make a difference.
