  • lol Queef Cooper????  no chance.

  • Great news...... 

    Hope your on the money mate,  Cooper CRONK - ultimate professional and would lift the place massively.  YES YES YES..... million to one though I think.

  • Cronk has no management team. He does his contracts himself.
    • That's not the case this year.
  • It wouldn't be the first time they have spoken to Quade. I reckon he is behind Cronk though. That would be great news about locking up all off contract players including Semi.
    • Interestingly BA didn't mention Semi in his statement.

      “We are comfortable with Jarryd’s decision. He has to do what is best for him and I have a responsibility to the club and the fans long term in making sure we put ourselves in a good space and a good place with our list that we can retain everyone,” Arthur said.

      “I am also accountable to this team and keeping them together. I am committed and we are committed to the blokes that are committed to us.”

      “At the end of 2017, we have Manu Ma’u, Tepai Moeroa, Clinton Gutherson, Brad Takairangi, Peni Terepo off contract and they are important to me, they are important to this club and they are important to this team and there is no way we would run the risk of losing those guys,” Arthur added.

      BA is all about the Team long term hence the decision regarding the Princess.

    • We also signed him until the end of 2018. That's how it was reported at the time. This 2017 thing is new.
  • Glad Cronk doesn't have Beavis as a manager
  • If Semi going to be paid double obviously playing centre next year, I like the thought of that.

    • Nope, Semi will remain on the wing, his contract will be worth around 500k next season
