Its the best long term plan after Thurston. We have 4 capable up and coming halves at the club who need an apprenticeship and mentor. Who would u like to teach them?
The coach and his staff and the 12million dollars we have already invested into them... not sure what des is doing if we are looking for someone to teach them.

In saying that i would take him in heart beat..

Foran over a 34 year old Cronk any day of the week.
With the salary cap rise and the front loading, back loading and third party payments. Who knows we might be able to afford him and M. Moses or Foran, it would need some smart maneuvering.
Imagine this team
1 Mbye
2 BMoz
3 Hopoate/Lee
4 JMoz
5 Montoya
6 Moses/Foran
7 Cronk/Foran
8 Tolman
9 Woolford
10 Klemmer
11 RFM
10 Jackson
13 Eastwood

14 Graham
15 Kasiano
16 Elliott
17 Reynolds

I dropped this in the rumours thread well over a month ago and had my post deleted by some clowns who didn't want to listen. He has signed with Roosters, it's already a done deal, so don't get your hopes up he's not coming to the dogs. BTW I thought the rumours thread was for posting rumours, why was mine not good enough?
Roosters will lose ferguson, evans abd guerra for a half they dont need.

Time for Auntie Rae to copy Bullfrog's move that got Farrer:

Invite all the Club CEOs to lunch, then duck off to Melbourne to sign Cronk

Cronk was recently in Sydney.. having dinner with Rushton at Sails.

Can't see anything in your post history for this, deleted or otherwise.

Mr SS quoted (what appears to be a Lurker/Mole article last year) which states Dogs after Cronk though.

We will be lucky to get one let alone two. The salary cap rises for every team not just us.

Here is an even bigger twist (and the most likely): Cronk will announce his retirement during Origin period which will boost QLD to win it for him.

Dogs will do a straight swap... Cronk for Mbye.......Bellamy will turn Mybe into a superstar and Des will turn Cronk into a reserve grader as per usual.

des just said a minute ago that he thinks cronk will retire.
journo told him about the news this morning that he was coming to play.
des said he still thinks he will retire
What a load of horse shit. Hasler is taking the piss. He knows Cronk is not going to retire . He also knows that the Bulldogs are going to make a massive play for him. I'll be stunned if Cronk isn't playing in blue & white next year.

Can someone sell Samantha Lynch on the merits of raising a family in Belmore?

If young M. Moses partners Cronk or Foran in the halves it would be an absolute sensation, it's possible !

I think you mean Townsville :tonguewink: but you raise a good point. We get no direct hits from Cyclones here.
