THE chase for Cooper Cronk is officially on.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal that Cronk met with his agent George Mimis on Friday and confirmed that he wanted to continue his NRL career in Sydney for possibly the next two years.
Mimis confirmed: “I caught up with Cooper today.
“Since the grand final he has been reflecting on his possibilities.
“Today he has advised me that his inclination will be to continue to play should the right opportunity present itself.
“So I will now embark on having some relevant conversations and see where they take us.”
It ends months of speculation after the champion halfback revealed early this season that he was leaving Melbourne to move to Sydney to live with his partner Tara Rushton.
Mimis was adamant no deal had been done but the Sydney Roosters are in the box seat to secure the 33-year-old’s prized signature.
Cronk has been linked with a move to the Roosters.
South Sydney chief executive Shane Richardson said last week that his club would not be signing Cronk.
But it is understood that since Cronk announced that he would be leaving Melbourne almost every Sydney NRL club has made contact to express their interest.
The Roosters are keen and have enough wiggle room in their salary cap to make the deal happen.
The Roosters have made it known they have no intention of forcing Mitchell Pearce out of the club but if the deal is done Cronk will be wearing the No 7 jumper.
