Why do you guys think Cronk hates the Tigers?

I've heard him be too critical of us, but I wouldn't imagine we're much of a thought in his head during or post his career.

I think he basically can't get his head around clubs that don't have stacked rosters.

His comments are things like "Just hold the ball, kick early and control the tempo of the game" as if there are not 100 kg blokes trying to smash you every time you attempt to hold the ball or control the tempo.

Cronk was obviously a very good player in his day but he went from one glamour roster to another, with a powerhouse QLD dynasty around him in-between. So for me it's one thing to do your tackles, distribute, kick and pass when you also have Cameron Smith, Billy Slater, Greg Inglis, Israel Folau, Munster, NAS, Finucane, Bromwich brothers, Tohu Harris, Felise Kaufusi in your team, or then move to Roosters with prime Tedesco, Latrell, Joey Manu, Angus Crichton, Boyd Cordner, Keary, Brett Morris, JWH, Taukeiaho, Daniel Tupou and Jake Friend.

What does the Cronkasaurus do if instead of Tedesco or Cam Smith he looks outside and sees Ronald Volkman or the Forbes Ferrari? Trying to organise a team behind the glacial go-forward like Frank Molo or David Klemmer. I guess he wouldn't have a clue.

Ego. Cronk see's himself as footy smarts royalty. A poor performing club like ours are like peasants to him.

Old Skyhooks song........Ego Is Not A Dirty Word........well according to us Tigers fans Gronk it F stinks, maybe in time Fox will get sick of his same old boring lines he dishes up and give him the arse.

Only hear Gronk while watching games on Kayo as I stopped tuning into 360 years ago. I find him to be so irritating and out right boring, but Ennis and Brandy are not far behind in the irritating stakes. Agreed Slater is good but most of the others get the mute button treatment

First poor effort from us and the heat will switch to us again,the useless shits on that show can't help themselves.They would pull the wings of a crippled canary.

We could be 15 and 1 , and the narrative would be “tigers in crisis” . That Ritchie article was the absolute pinnacle of muck raking gutter journalism.
Their data analysis must absolutely say “ all things wests tigers all the time. Eels are shit ? Article about how they can poach the tigers players . Roosters get hammered 2 weeks in a row ? Article about how the tigers failed in recruitment is why they lost by 2 points .
The only other entity that even remotely gets the same level of bullshit , is his Gould , because he called out Rothfield for the piece of shit he is . He’s not even a qualified journo …

Maybe my memory is bad, but I'm pretty sure we used to upset Melbourne regularly while he was playing.

Crawley is another clown as he said that Luai will be a target for the Eels as he played a few origin games with Moses last season. He has played with Crichton for Samoa a few times so he must be linked with the dogs also. You cannot make up this crap and they get paid for an opinion which is laughable.

Remember that game massive upset. Before the six again was introduced under Cleary. Suffocated them and upset their rhythm.

Great game Corey Thompson scoring in the right corner from a Tui LOL-ohea pass and a try assist falcon off the head of Michael Chee Kam with a couple of minutes to go and Tui converts from the sideline.

One thing I did enjoy on 360 last night was the hard hitter segment they had with Ray Hadley.

Now Ray Hadley is a character who most people either like or hate but the story of his career and how things came about that changed the direction that it headed in was an interesting one and I liked the way that he told it in an interesting and entertaining way.

Like him or hate him, putting aside his political views you have to appreciate that 99 Origins, 35 Grand Finals, numerous tests, not to mention the Olympics and other sporting events that he has called puts him in a category of achievement that will be hard for anyone to ever beat.

Cronk doesn’t have any flair, neither as a player nor commentator… he can’t comment on what he doesn’t understand, tigers played with flair on the weekend. Flair I haven’t seen since 05 🐯

The Matty and Cronk show had the flog that is Cooper Cronk giving it to the Tigers about how poor we were and how the game was crap and whoever scored first would go on and win it . The conditions that it was played in was always going to be difficult and sitting in the stands was hot, so I could just imagine how hard it would be playing.
Rather than focus on how we improved week on week, he felt compelled to have a crack at how slow our passing was and not spreading the ball enough. I would think you need to first get the combinations working in games before you spread the ball, however if we can score 32 points and hold the team to 6 and they were lucky to get that then we are going ok.
I was impressed with the goal line defence by our team to keep turning them away along with the backing up in attack. Cooper also had cracks at Luai for not being direct in attack, yet praised Galvin numerous times. I like Galvin but he is not the messiah and whilst his best attribute is his fitness without forwards to lay the platform we get what we have the past three years.

Not a Cooper Cronk fan.

I found him to be an incredibly boring player, surrounded by great players. Overrated IMO.

Yeah, I used to enjoy playing melbourne no matter where they were coming because we could beat their style of play, or come close... there was a cracker at leichardt oval I remember being at - cant remember exactly when, but it was in the wet...

were some others when slater stomped on someones head too...

they were such pricks..

All WT supporters should remember the lowlife Danny Williams,the lowest piece of manure to ever walk onto a footie field.

I don't know he cares enough to hate the tigers. But he speaks about them disrespectfully all the time. And I get it he went from 1 of the best teams of all time to one of the best teams of all time and then played in rep sides that were the best of all time. I don't think he can understand the game from the bottom of the ladder.
In the parra game there was constant valid criticism of both teams followed by apologies to Parramatta supporters. With 25 minutes to go and tigers up 22-0 cronk said words to the effect of " one of these teams is going to click soon and blow the game open ". I like all of us here am well aware of the tigers being able to let go of a lead. However that comment is so dismissive of the team on the park at the time its criminal.

We won a game mate. It’s hardly earth shattering. Let’s win 4 or 5 in a row. Then look at the positive articles pour in.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Its entertainment. Thats all. Better than listening to the news. At least on this channel there is room for hope. I prefer Buzz and his cronies over the 6pm news people spruiking their rubbish onto my family. Day in day out. Like they know. Everything. Western Suburbs Boy.

poor old Crawley probably only has the gig on that show due to his brother

Yes I was there pretty sure it was 5:30 game. Blake Ashford slid across for a try that seemed like he was going to hit the fence it was so wet.. Slater was copping it from people on the hill.
