If it came to Foran and Cronk
Wanting the same
Money it be hard. I don't think Foran can command the same to be honest. Hough his age is a big plus

Time to make up for the past 5 years of recruitment! Maybe we'll get the chance to finally forget about crusher's abysmal recruitment!

cronk to dogs
mbye to storm
think Mbye would flourish under their system
but dont even think Bellamy could make him a good halfback


id prefer we keep him and try him as a hooker first

I'm sorry to say it but the club needs to make some tough calls. Need to cut jmoz, Lichaa and Reynolds maybe Graham for someone of high quality. Maybe Cronk and Tedesco.

At this POINT in time, give me Foran.

Cronk will be 34 next season.

Also, he wont have Cam Smith outside him.

Not worth it for $1 mill + a season.

Not at this age.
I respectfully disagree, a player like he is exactly what this team and club needs right now!
A big name player who always delivers and is a clean skin....

Do a deal with Melbourne: straight swap Cronk for Mbye now until 2019. Then in 2020, Dogs get first option on Mbye (and Cronk retires).

Might be money issues to sort out, but that's easy enough (Back-ended contracts etc)

Yeah I know, Buckley's, none and sfa

I like the 1,6,7. We could even keep Lichaa to play 9 and frawley could develop under cronk
Im not a fan of Lichaa, but whatever needs to be done to get Cronk across

Id be sticking Steve Turner on a flight today to go tell Cronk what a cushy life he has post playing as a winger at Canterbury with limited abilities, imagine what a player of Cronks ability would achieve...
Free lifts from Hasler on the way down to training and games...

Outside Inglis which Storm player has been a standout once they leave Melbourne?

Look at Proctor LOL. Blake Green has been non existent, Dane Neilsen, Sika Manu just to name a few.

Even Inglis for the past 2 seasons looks like he couldnt give a shit anymore.

Damn it. I already posted this in rumours... but I suppose cronk has confirmed it himself (so i'm probably in the wrong).

Anyways, One thing I do agree with Wahesh is that its pretty likely he has already either signed with another Club or is a long way down the track with it. No way would he call a press conference in early April otherwise. But I don;t agree about him being too old.

I can understand him moving if it is to try and start a family. If his partner is the same age, their window is closing, and trying match up cycles etc and being in separate cities is tough (this coming from someone who has a partner who travels a lot). This would be the only real valid reason why I would think he would want to leave the Storm (unless another Club has thrown the chequebook at him).
Or a couple of pokies

Didn't get released bro. He just didn't trigger his second year option.

Can't make a deal.

You talking about a bloke who has played over 300 NRL games with 2 premierships, 31 tests for Australia and 19 Origins?

One of the best three players in the last ten years is a possibility of coming to the dogs and people are saying no? Thats pathetic.
