Let frawley smell cronks armpits for 2 more years- hopefully some of his experience will rub on ready to step in when he retires
I wouldn't be surprised for the following reasons, most of the time when players want to retire they would say when they call television conference 'I will be retiring, or this is my last season, or this club has given me everything and I've achieved all I want! Not in the case with Cronk, also we are led to believe he doesn't like being centre of attention, so if he was going to retire he would have already said it!
My other point is Hasler has the same manager as Cronk, knowing hasler who stated cronk will retire (he was specifically asked this question because he shares the same manager, no other reason, inside info) is not going to give anything away if he knows from the manager cronk doesn't want to retire, what he will do, and he does this better than anyone, is deny he knows anything and will not give any other club information about cronk wanting to play or not! So don't be surprised if cronk is wearing the blue and white next season with Foran in the same colours!
