Just sent to me... Cronk signed. 900k plus third party

[rented tracksuit]

I don't think Pearcey will see SOO again somehow.

i think you are right. The selectors are like gambling addicts. The more they lose, the more they persist on trying to get that one big win.

Ben Hunt 1.2 million... Sure

Ben Hunt is not getting near 1.2m a season. That amount was a media beat up.

Aren't halves combinations supposed to take a while to gel? As good as Cronk is, he did have Smith and Slater with him for 10+ years. I thought Pearce and Keary did well considering it was their first year together. We did finish second in the home and away after all. If we sign Cronk what happens to Pearce?, I can't see him as a number 9, how does this affect the salary cap, team harmony/balance? Once Origin comes chances are Cronk will be gone for 5 - 6 games. And are Keary and Cronk going to gel immediately?

I think our spine is alright. Friend is OK, how many good number 9's are going around? Keary and Pearce will be better having spent a year with each other and Tedesco is as good as Mini and RTS. Probably get shot down for mentioning RTS but when he played with us he was an absolute cracker.

I think the back row are as good as any going and in the back row I'd have Liu, SST and Cordner starting but that's just me. The outside backs need some fine tuning but the talent is there. So as many have said maybe we need a couple of decent front rowers to help out JWH and Napa. We get the go forward I think the halves and backs will shine. Remember Mitchell is still very raw so for the few mistakes he may make at times, in my opinion he outweighs them by plenty with the positives.

If Cronk does come and Pearce happens to play hooker I think he will be the 9 for NSW instead of Peats. His only hope of picking up an extra $90K.
1000000/1 though

Yes I know he won us the game against the Broncos, BUT it will take me a long time to get over his effort against the COWs. That hurt big time. Not just blaming him though. We played SO EFFING BAD I can't get over it. We simply CHOKED right across the park. WTF was Toups doing there? I think it's pretty obvious from Coaches to Players, we thought this would be an easy win. Cardinal effing Sin.

Fingers crossed

Is this hopeful thinking? Or has someone who gets decent mail told you something

Does anyone really think Pearce would be happy playing 9? Coz I think we are much better off with Keary at 6 if Cronk comes. Actually......we are much better splashing the money out on a couple of mongrel props than Cooper Cronk.

If Cronk comes I reckon Pearce asks for a release to Tigers.

I reckon the Broncos or possibly the Storm.

I could just imagine him going to the Storm, playing behind a forward pack that does not go missing. He would kill it with Bellamy.

He would go to Newcastle with his other mates.

Nah nah, I bet you that Bennett would want him at the Broncos & if the Storm didnt have Brody Croft Bellamy would be all over him.

[Guest]

Melbourne seems like a great fit. I still think he would be better to keep than Friend. Friend tackles a lot and offers little else in my opinion.

Oh and his shit kicks and ****ing idiotic blind side plays.

Tell em his dreaming!
