The SMH had an article yesterday stating that Cronk has an offer from another NRL club at present
There are no actual articles screaming "Eels to sign Cronk".
Coach Daniel Anderson was said to be disappointed with the early unveiling stating "this was supposed to be a surprise, we don't need this distraction going forward. Regardless, we are delighted to have Cooper joining us from 2011".

nice one - i can see 1000 people believing it too
I WANT ONE!!
As I said elsewhere, my reason for believe it to be the case are:
1. Someone I know linked to the very top told me we were chasing him some weeks ago when I first reported it here
2. What I've been hearing about other players being re-signed all point to us not having any money left to offer anybody else suggest we are making a marquee signing and I was told it definitely won't be Greg Inglis who knocked back any approaches
Even assuming we are chasing him, it comes down to what Melbourne decide to do. I've changed my thoughts on this somewhat in the last couple of days. If you look at where Cronk was once at, before he became the half back he is today, Bellamy was able to have success by using him in a very structured way. Melbourne have some good young half talent and I think he would be optimistic he could do the same one with one of those blokes. On the other hand, you can't just create another Greg Inglis, for example, because a player that is born but not created.
He checked with his mate who said he wants to stay and Parra is the last club he would go to end quote.
Just thought I'd pass this on before we go updating the profile pages on parraeels.com.
I believe his source is credible, but who knows. From all the rumours it sounds like we are making a play for him but It sounds like it's far from in the bag.
Mind you his mate could be wrong. He also claims they will get their premierships back.
I like the line "Parra is the last club he would go to".
Part of the reason, I don't want to see it happen.
