Where does Cronk go?

The roosters’ signing of Cronk is weird.

They signed bozo in the twilight of his career too for zero premierships. Then how did that go for them? Let me remind you:

Bozo coached them before coming home to manly along with bousted, cleal, Barkley, brown, Gibbs, McCabe, gurr, Schubert and probably more players that I can’t remember. Easts were easybeats for many years after that, and were playing at Henson park in front of 2000 people at some stage in the 80s when the sfs was being constructed. It is a wonder they didn’t go the way of the jets.

Cronk isn’t anywhere as good as bozo. If he moves into coaching at easts I bet he goes back to Melbourne to replace Bellamy at some stage, taking players.

Easts history repeats.
 
Fox HQ is at Moore Park dude, TCN 9 is at Willoughby.

Yeah sorry i should've worded it different, my bad. Fox SPORTS is actually seperate from the main Fox Studios / Foxtel etc. I should've added the "sports" bit. They have their own studios / building etc. and that one is as others have pointed out, close to mosman.
 
Also easts bought fatty of course in his career twilight and paid him nicely to play reserve grade. You’d think they would learn.
 
This seems a little too articulate for Big Willie, but the sentiment is spot on;

Former Roosters star Willie Mason was particularly vocal about Cronk’s move last week, blasting the club’s short-sightedness.

“He’ll be 35 next year, If they pay him $1 million for one year ... is it worth losing a player like Pearce or Friend for five or six years?” Mason asked on SKIPI TV before smashing the Roosters’ veteran’s critics.

“I don’t understand their mentality on this, I’m a bit disappointed in the Roosters. Pearce has won a premiership, the only time he’s vilified is when they talk about Origin.

“Everyone hammers him and bags the crap out of him for Origin all the time but if you have a look at his club level playing, you cannot fault him — he’s in the top three players for the Roosters all the time.

“For them to sign Cronk in front of Pearce, it’s ridiculous, it doesn’t make sense.”


Mason said Cronk’s signing could cause a revolt within the 2013 premiers’ dressing room.

“I’m not sure how he’s going to put himself in that locker room and tell blokes like Friendy and all these other guys who will have in the back of their head (thinking) ‘the only reason you are here is because you flicked one of my best mates’,” he said.

“We’ve heard rumours Pearce wants out. Maybe Friendy will want out. It could start a revolt,” he said. “That group has been together for about six or seven years, the main playing group, they’ve won premierships together. So when you slide in now like Cooper Cronk is now, it’s just the worst, worst situation for him.”
 
I’m wondering how many more of those playing for Australia in the RLWC are the Rorters going to sign?

Surely they can fit a few more million dollar players into their side!

Uncle Nick’s not even into his second tier TPA’s as yet, so I reckon they are good for another 2-3 Million.
