One year deal. He will want a bucket load of cash in excess of $1million.

If we think we have the roster around him for a tilt next season we should go all out to go for that premiership tilt.

It's not an extended deal like Watmough/Foran so not nearly as risky as they were.

I'm all for it. Australian/Queensland no 7 and a premiership winner.

Yeah just read the same I think him & Corey would be good.

two years yes any thing over that no

But to get him here you have to offer him $2m a year so saying that no way

A cold calculated half that would not only help us for a yr or 2 then someone who could teach our up and comers.

I don't think he'll sign anywhere on a 1 year deal. By all accounts he's the very definition of professionalism, a role model in arguably the most professional club in the competition. The only player who I understand came within touching distance to Cronk's preparation and mindset is Lockyer who retired at 34, and went out on his terms. If Cronk's looking for a $1.5M 3 year deal I'd be prepared to offer that to him. If anything his last year could see him transition into a strategic leadership role within the football club.

  You forgot the most important thing. He's not an injury prone player
