Nick Politis has spoken on how they managed to "afford" Cronk, who is rumoured to be on $1.7 million over 2 years (LOL BULLSHIT!!!!!)

Sydney Roosters supremo Nick Politis has revealed Cooper Cronk's arrival at Bondi wasn't all about money.

The Roosters chairman told The Courier-Mail, a Harvard University degree sealed Cronk's fate to the Bondi club.

“We ticked the boxes in a few areas. It wasn’t all about money,” Politis told The Courier-Mail.

“Cooper is looking to go to Harvard and do an MBA in business administration.

“We’ve got salary-cap approval from the NRL to help him with his education.

“Cooper wanted to go to a club with a good coach and a good system that could help him after football as well.

“I hope he wins us a premiership while he’s here, that’s the plan.”

Politis also revealed, he would love for Cronk to stay beyond his two-year deal in a coaching capacity.

“After two years, we’re hoping Cooper will stay on and if he wants he can coach here.

"He could work with ‘Robbo’ (coach Trent Robinson) helping the halves and being a part of the club for a long time.”

According to The Courier-Mail, Cronk has signed a $1.7 million two-year deal with the Roosters.


Cheating scum.... how is that even allowed? Not to mention how have the NRL allowed this to occur, and how have they valued Cronk at less than $1 million a seaso compared to DCE/Hunt/Thurston/etc.

NRL have allowed Roosters to systematically cheat the system it seems, with their blessing.

That's really fucked up and not at all convincing. Would love to see those call cheating cocks busted for a few years worth of cheating this year and ring their next few seasons. Funds have been getting away with this type of garbage for easy too long.

Cheats. Probs throw in some sick accommodation, a car and a couple of business class flights as part of his "education package"

"Cooper is looking to go to Harvard and do an MBA in business administration"
He really said this?
MBA = Masters in Business Administration
So, Politis translation "Cooper is looking to go to Harvard and do an Masters in Business Administration in business administration"

ATM machine
PIN number

Tautological and redundant speech.

People aren't picking up on the acronym!
MBA stands for Masters of Bullshit Accountants.
Cooper did his Bachelors Degree at the Storm for 3yrs, now to complete it at the Rorters!!

Drive past his house.
Count how many boats parked in his front yard.
There's your answer.

Considering AGSM MBA myself, not only for the flexible delivery, it's a well recognized school.

Online course?
It is a great delivery I did a bachelor of computer science via uni of New England online courses but it had its drawbacks particularly when things went wrong.

Glad you're not holding a grudge against me @Lov_Dog .
@Wolfmother -- we simply don't share the same opinion on something, that is the spice of life.
Certainly no grudge held my side 8-)
More importantly, we share a passion for our Bulldogs team and culture, which is our main reason for connecting and returning to the Kennel.

Peace \m/
