Only problem with that is Cronk wants to be in Sydney, no way Newcastle can tempt him there imo. Can't see him wanting to do that drive every day, or close to every day.

Money always talks mate

 

[CHOGM]

200k is a ****load of money, especially p.a.

I think he'd earn more sponsorship money in Newcastle than with us.

I mean sponsorships outside of the club, not TPA's. Sydney is the biggest market in the country. More chance of getting deals done as a Sydney based player than a Newcastle one.

Parra have pulled out of signing jack bird....newcastles offer around 900k, sharks around 820k.....would make him the highest paid player ever at cronulla

 

[Bundy Shark]

If true I am dirty we offered 820, we didn't or shouldn't have had to, if he wants an extra 80k or 40k in the hand then off to the Knights he goes.

If we loose bird.. we should go for Curtis Scott when his contract runs out at the storm. I haven't seen him in 1st this year.

Didn't realise Bird was loose. Explains a lot.

820 is too much. Way too much.

 

[stormshark]

Bit skeptical of that figure,surely not

Source NRL :
I wonder if Jimmy's comments were veiled at Chad .
I'm sure Flanno would at least look into all possibilities .

townsend to melbourne > cronk to sharks

 

[puma1355]

No chance !! Plus Rushton is a northern suburbs girl so no way she is moving to the Shire !!! Oh then again isn't there supposed to be compromise in every relationship Cronk has moved to Sydney for her

townsend to melbourne > cronk to sharks

I wouldnt discount the first part

Double jointed I believe!

 

[ABshark]

I reckon Widdop will go back to Melbourne.

Cronk to Parra.

I hope bird knows he is unlikely to play origin whilst playing at the knights. That's about 120k a year over 3 years.

He is also unlikley to play any finals series games whilst playing with the knights.

 

[Thresher]

Gal could keep Cronk's nose straight with the odd gentle slap. Would save him $$ on rhinoplasty and from what I understand it wouldn't be included in the cap.

 

[SharkShocked]

Im not inclined to believe any of the figures i hear reported.

But if we get within 80-100K of the Knights deal, hands down he stays with us i'd say. Spine position or not.

Not always.

Rumour is that's she's pregnant .
That's one way to get your man to move .
Also a big chance he won't play for another club .
Time will tell .

After watching Cronk on 360 last night i think he'll retire at the end of the year.
