Cronk injury update it's not good

[Bansai Pipeline]

Disaster. But without Slater I think we can do it without him.

IMO with the new finals 5m rule interpretation it will make little difference. I'd be tempted to play Matto/Keary at 6/7 and play the extra forward with Napa coming back.

Agree.

[Mickie Lane]

Im pretty sure he will play.
If he is out I would put Latrell back to centre & move Momorovski into the halves.

the NRL Physio raises a good point, if Cronk plays he risks causing further significant damage to other parts of his shoulder.

Who really knows.... they haven't been very specific eg: rotor cuff tear etc.

[Lydon]

I won’t believe Cronk will miss this match until it is announced 1 hour before kick off,enjoy the ride folks!

[Andrew Walker]

The way I see it is he is out and the club from today must start preparations for Grnd Final that does not include Cronk on field We have to prepare from now the be without him If he plays great but the onky way we win without him is to prepare from now that we dont have him

He's got an off season to get over it.
He will play.

is robbo going to do that annoying thing we did when keary was out and keep SOS on the bench and not use him

It's called insurance.

SOS should have played some game time instead of warming the bench for those 3 games.

he will already miss 4-6 months from shoulder surgery, if he plays sunday he can make it a whole lot worse.

FFS Let people hold on to some hope Ive never seen a more pessimistic poster thsn you It is always doom and gloom and worst case scenario with you I dont think he will play eith that injury but im stkll hoping he can But I think the club from today must prepare to win without him playing

[Tommy Smith]

His communication and leadership is invaluable but I think we'd be better off going with SOS. Just tell him to kick and tackle his heart out.

We can absolutely still win this. I'm watching for Latrell to have an absolute stormer.

fox sports said roosters officials are confident he will play

Sterlo said on the Footy Show that the rotator cuff is what finished his career. And we all know what happened to Thursto with the same injury. The report is a severe rotator injury, which would have to be a tear. It's rotten luck and we knew Burgess would be the man assigned to Cronk and he landed really hard on the shoulder with 115 kg on top. Burgess was always trying to take Pearcey's head off when we played them. So glad we knocked them out of it.

We can still win this. I think we will. In fact we can win it 'for' Cooper. He's made a fantastic contribution and toughened up our whole attitude. This side is so much better for having him in it. Th e team will just have to remember all that he has given them in building and maintaining pressure. I know who'd be running the water if I was coaching. But we've matured and the boys are fired up for a big one. I think Napa is setting himself for an absolute blinder.
