I agree and if football is a business why cant cronk make a business within and with transparency... unlike the two cooks asking the questions (regarding transparency...bottom feeders)

How isn’t it a conflict of interest? If he’s mentoring or helping the halves of the storm be better in the game, doesn’t that help the rorters when planning the game knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the storm halves?

Can I say as a St. George and Nsw Blues fan, Ive rarely ever cheered for Cooper Cronk, however I believe Cooper's integrity would be far above reproach. He clearly still has relationships with storm players, he's Melbourne's best half-back of all time so of course they'd want him to mentor the young halves. Bloody hell Buzz and Kenty are sooo dumbfounded by integrity, honesty and not exploiting opportunities because they can't imagine not being backstabbing snakes.

Ridiculous. His argument is essentially "I'm a good guy. I know where the line is. Trust me. I'm Cooper Cronk". Tell me - what EXACTLY is he helping the key playmakers for your biggest rival to do if it isn't improve? They didn't ask him there to make those players WORSE than what they were before. So you are helping your biggest rival to get better. Whilst taking a pay cheque from the Roosters. He should have been canned on the spot. And so should Robinson if he signed off on this.

@shannonblack3513 3 жыл бұрын

@@deaddropholiday Ridiculous. How many different clubs have employed Daryl Halligan as their kicking coach? He has worked with multiple teams every year and there has never, EVER been even a whisper of impropriety. Andrew Johns is exactly the same with halfbacks. There is nothing unprecedented happening here, just FAUX outrage from people too easily led by the nose by headline grabbing media personalities.

@deaddropholiday 3 жыл бұрын

@@shannonblack3513 BUllshit comparison. Daryl Halligan was NOT in the same role as Cronk. Nothing wrong with an independent contractor working between clubs. But Cronk isn't an independent contractor. He's on the coaching books of the Roosters whilst he's helping two of the best players at their biggest rivals to get better. Who's to say the techniques Cronk imparts to Munster and company don't result in the Storm beating the Roosters. Kenty is absolutely right that someone like Ricky would not tolerate this situation. One final thing - just because you haven't heard any whispers about the likes of Halligan moonlighting between clubs doesn't mean they haven't taken place. It'll all come out in the wash. Probably result in the Storm being stripped of another couple of titles. The sooner they are reduced to ZERO the better for everyone.

Another club who also happens to be one of their biggest rivals in recent years. Also, if there is no advantage in it for them as I'm sure they already know...then why allow it? It just doesn't make an ounce of sense from the Roosters standpoint, especially if they value the mans input. Why lend a helping hand to a rival??
