Cronk?

[Bansai Pipeline]

Still has a better kicking game than Pearce.

[4 the all in brawl]

Cronk ain't slow...

It's just he is not used to the garbage service thrown his way by our Co Captain.

He was pretty sharp in some of the earlier games when we were on top in the ruck. But if you are getting harassed and belted from pillar to post while trying to haul in passes from all over the place. This was what my Dragons mate observed then heck u are going to end up looking pretty awful......

Oh the poor boy, Maybe he should have prioritized the team over team Pearce ( Like that would ever happen ) , he play's for the money and as I stated earlier the same money he would have got if he was playing at 7.. Pearce just got the shit's because he couldn't have it HIS way and threw the rattle out of the cot.

Or maybe he just wanted to keep playing halfback. He’s entitled to do that. He is the current state halfback after all. He’s gone somewhere else and thriving. So pretty pointless to accuse him of throwing the toys out the cot.

The point was you made out the club let him go, they did no such thing.. He made his choices as you now agree with as per above statement.

lol Artie. You’re just going round in circles mate. Aren’t you getting dizzy yet? Yes he made his choices. But he had to make a choice because of the position he was put in by the decision to sign another halfback. That’s what I’ve been saying all along.

And that’s enough from me on the subject.You can continue to go round in circles with it if you want but count me out I’m done.

Sorry Roosterman Jake hasn't played good consistent football since he went to hospital with a haemothorax, yes he's had the good game here and there but his game went downhill from there.

I dont disagree... I am talking about the people who think he is the key to all our problems like they thought Pearce was.. im not argueing his form.

[King Salvo]

Dude he chose to leave, the club stated they were happy for him to stay irrespective of what people say that he was forced to ask for a release ect... He could have became our new dummy half and reinvented his career at Hooker, he could revitalised his rep career at the new position... We will never know... We didn't let him go he left.....

The Club gave him no choice but to leave - I didn't agree with this decision in signing Cronk when a prop and centre was a required signing - Tedesco a different story although his form isn't much better.

Rubbish - Cronk is standing too deep and wide for starters - Nothing at all wrong with Friends passes if Cronk was closer in as Pearce played. - its the passes out wider and or the lack of them that are the worry and the lack of any plan in attack- passes going to ground or behind players for instance - Keary is heart attack stuff with his passes and positional play - seems so unsure on whether to run it or pass it - runs too much sideways and that wrap around 5th tackle play should be retired permanently - it doesn't work at all.

Until I see a whole game where Cronk is getting decent/good service from Radley and Baptiste, I will make judgement on if Cronk was the right or wrong move

THIS !
All the rest of you death riding Cronk shall be eating your words

Has anyone thought that maybe it’s going to take longer than 8 weeks for the new combos to click, if they ever do?

I mean Cronkite has had one 9 passing him the pill for what almost 20 years, including lower grades.

Friend has been passing the pill to the same 7 for his whole 10 seasons of first grade.

Surely in all probability if it takes years to build up combos and get to know players styles and preferences it is going to take more than a limited pre season and 1/3 of a season to look slick?

Sure some blokes change clubs and it instantly clicks into a great rythem like Baloney has done repeatedly.

But this combo we have going hasn’t as yet.

We had the same 1/2 since 2007. Almost the entire squad has come thru with him running the team around,

It may just take more time.

You all believed the bookies and the pre season hype. You always do. Then the Tantys start when the unrealistic expectations are not met.

The FlogPen in full retard.

Master coach Robinson rubbished claims from reporters at the start of the season about new combinations taking time,he was adamant they would gel right away..
I think Robinson’s confident act in front of the cameras is starting to be shown up,either that or he truly has no idea.

You don’t lose the ability to coach or play for that matter.

Form can be elusive yes. But I cannot believe Robbo has had that much success and has NFI.

Would you prefer he acts negatively in front of the cameras mate?

Ofcourse not,but I’m starting to think he’s not as sure on the goings on with our performances as we are led to believe..Hence why I’m losing faith and belief in him..
In saying that though I want nothing more than our team to get back on track and play the football expected of this roster.

Whatever King......re Friend and Cronk. Uncle Nick should hire you as a coaching director....


About the second part of your post. I was talking about Cronk in this Thread. Was I talking about Keary????

[crikey chris]

Patience people....
Its round 8, not round 18.

Rome wasn't built in one day!
