Farewell Cooper Cronk? February 11, 2016, 10:33:35 pm Interested to hear Cooper Cronk has appointed a manager to help him decide his playing future.Player Managers make more money when a player moves, so it's more than likely all over red rover for Cooper and The Storm.Can't blame him, he's served Storm well and deserves the option to maximise his income.

Re: Farewell Cooper Cronk? Reply #1 – February 12, 2016, 07:34:12 pm Yep wonderful servant for the club and I completely understand.Storm have to start planning for generation next and that day is arriving quickly. The loss of Cronk followed by Slater and Smith in the next year or so, combine that with the likely retirement of Bellamy and it could be a painful period for the Storm.Best source the next generation, blood them and lock them in.

Reply #2 – April 04, 2017, 11:34:03 am Well it has happened, Cooper is off to Sydney next season, to be with his missus!The missus bit is just a stone cold furphy, like you would move states because your wife has a $100K job in Fox Sports!Don't dress it up Cooper, do yourself proud. We've loved having you here in big town and now it's time for you to cash in up there in La La Land.Just do us one favour, start a bidding war and bankrupt those goons north of the border!

He might be thinking about post-career opportunities.I suspect the same logic applied to the attempted Gibbs move, it was never about his missus and her career even though that was one of the contributing reasons given, that aspect of it was just a smokescreen.

In the context of people claiming he is hanging up the boots for love, just months after signing a new two year deal.The argument that a million dollar sportsmen would forego the limited opportunity he has in his life to earn that sort of money, just so his girlfriend can retain her mostly low to medium salary office job, is quite staggering. Frankly it's preposterous. So I doubt he is intending to retire.Sporting clubs and player managers should stop inventing these sort of constructions, a less gutless media would call it as it is even if he has earned the right! Honesty is the best policy, assuming their love is strong, the person earning the low wage would surely move!As a long term supporter of The Storm I don't want to be shined on. Lets face it, the relationship is probably going to be the cherry on the top of the new contract! The lure of a larger carrot must be the underlying reason behind this sudden relocation!

Re: Farewell Cooper Cronk? Reply #13 – July 05, 2017, 04:43:52 pm No wonder Cooper wants to move to NSW instead of home to Qld!http://www.theage.com.au/rugby-league/manly-suspected-of-salary-cap-breaches-as-scandal-engulfs-nrl-20170705-gx565b.htmlI'm sure the NRL will investigate this new discovery, new for those blind to 30 years of "overs" payments. And with all it's resources penalise, fine and bludgeon Melbourne Storm for being too far south!Yeah, only Melb Storm are the bad guys! Quote Selected
