My point is coach CronK is a player that can elevate players around him.
Look at some of the Storms centres over the years. They mad Ryan Hinchcliffe look like a gun in the back row.
Don't tell me Chase Blair, Ryan Morgan and the likes are better then what we have had.
I know our roster needs addressing, however our whole culture needs addressing. You take some of our players out of our cult and suddenly they are world beaters (JAC, Koro, Teo, Fifita, even Sirro is going pretty well) Were soft and have been for years. If you get an experienced number 7and captain it makes a world of difference to the joint. Your soldiers suddenly look a lot better. And you can attract good toilers who want to play with him. Players train harder. Standards lift everywhere.
Think what Cronk could bring to the joint outside of the 80 minutes o game day.
This club has never had that sort of winner.
I would throw everything at him, but thats just me i respect other opinions.
What makes you think it was Cronk who elavated the players around him and not Bellamy?
Oh its definitely Bellamy more so then Cronk. No doubting that.
However Cronk has been in that culture for over a decade.
You don't think he is the eyes and ears of Bellamy on the paddock?!
Who won the Origin battles Cronk or Bellamy?
