Preview of the Cronk/Holmes premiership run 2018...

I didn't know Holmes is confirmed as going to Newcastle...

Tell ya what that was a bloody pin point kick. I appreciate a good try, just hate having it rubbed in my face
42
Here's something to make you feel better mate.
22
I wonder if that was a set play? The Qld players were running through for a grubber, and it sucked in Ferguson, who was covering that because teddy was out of position having made the last tackle, so Holmes was then wide open.
Complex yet simple, just needed to be executed, and that it was.
32
Holmes knew what was up.
22
As soon as it happened, I knew it was a set play they'd been waiting for.

Dugan rushed in for the pass. Fergo had to come in as he was defending 3 on his own
1†
dugan was in line with morgan and fergo was behind dugan?
2
Dugan was in our attacking line between Coops and Morgan..
5
Oh how I envy being a Queensland fan, that was beautiful.
28
U could always join us u know
18
I'd rather be 2/24 than have to call myself a Queenslander.
53
Only a few years to go 💪🔥

Funny. You think you can win another series in the next twelves years.
23
That's the thing about us nsw fans. We can win 1 series out of 12 and still look forward to the next series, you know instead of losing 3 in a row and declaring it a dead concept.
33
And zat is vhy you fail.

Not even a decade to go m80

Thats not how this works truf Le But

Watch urself fat rolls

Ha.

Honestly, I've always wondered what the big deal about Cronk is, I always thought he was just elevated because he has always played with greats of the game.
Kicks like this are what showed me how good he is in his own right. It is the definition of a perfect in field kick. Perfectly read the defense, perfectly weighted the kick, If there is footy porn, this is it.
23
imo coops is better than JT
-11
eeehhh that's a bit of a stretch...
9
watch some of the previous 5 years of rep footy, and see who JT is taking instruction from, then ask yourself again if the above comment is a bit of a stretch
4†
I have... and it's still a stretch
Look, I get it, Cronk plays for your team, so you automatically think he's the best, I really do get it. Purple coloured glasses are really comfortable to wear.
But watch JT turn a NRL game around single handedly, watch him practically carry the entire Cowboys team on his back. I'm by no means a Cowboys or QLD supporter, but credit where credit is due. JT will be an immortal, you can put your house on it. Cronk? not so much I don't think.
Remember, I'm not saying Cronk isn't good, he is Brilliant. But in no way is he better than JT.

That's a bit different. Smith and Cronk are born leaders of men. JT is individually unmatched.
Cronk is execution, timing, set plays, calm and collected.
JT is the guy who pulls off voodoo and snatches victory from the jaws of defeat.
JT has at one point or another won pretty much every RL award that he was eligible for, including 2 golden boots, 3 Dally M player of the year, 6 Dally Ms for halfback/five-eighth, etc.
Cronk is a fantastic halfback, but an immortal? I think not, not yet anyway. JT has that in the bag.

I can't believe this has actually been upvoted.
JT is a step above Cronk and so is Smith.
8
Reputation and fear for a playmaker is a double edged sword. Being "under the radar" and "the boogie man" can both be good and bad things.
Cronk more often gets to subtly fool a relaxed defense while JT makes the defense hyper aware to the point of panic.
8
ur opinion is wrong
3
I'm with you. Not 'significantly' better by any means. He looked like he had so much time last night. He's never rushed.

My terrible internet connection made that Gif play at about 1 frame per second and it was beautiful
20
Now do Maloney's kick to the bloke sitting in the first row.
20
That was to Alfie.
34
Every time a try like this is scored it makes me wonder why some "experts" believe tries from kicks should be worth less points. This is just as skillful as any pass or run.
17
Theres a big difference between this kick and just some random pray to the heavens bomb lol
35
Yeah, one was by QLD and the pray bomb was NSW
20
also known as "every bulldogs attacking kick this season"
12
What fucking gronk says that? I'd love to see more of them they are as exciting as fuck.
2
Deserves to be put on pornhub, because that's how fucking sexy that kick was.
16
I would view it before a threeway-a-thon to climax +1
1
It always feels good waking up as State of Origin winners.
13
It was basically a 40m cutout pass. Beautiful.
11
So you heard the commentary on TV as well huh?

Look how low he drops the ball, afl like
9
And the little flick of the foot as he kicks it, amazing stuff. You can't help but hate him and love him at the same time.
1
Gotta give Morgan a credit for having the awareness to leave it and let Holmes take it when he could of easily made a play on the ball.
9
Anyone else spot Gordon Tallis in the crowd?
8
good eyes, mate
2
Ah, I thought that was him.
2
is that the bloke two to the left of Chris Lynn?
1
to his right is box Walters then Brett Kimmorley
1
Box was in the sheds wasnt he?
1
During the game?
I don't know, the four pixels I saw when I paused the video looked like box but could have been Tracy Grimshaw for all I know.
1
Ferguson out of position no pressure on Cronk
7
He was further in because our forwards gave up an easy line break
8
Honestly, it's like people look at every play in a vacuum. Cronk made the perfect play, had he gone through the hands Fingers could have covered.
Perfect attack beat solid defence. It happens.
12
Duges had rushed up and in our attacking line. Fergs would have been left alone on a massive overlap
1
guess whose fault the linebreak was
9
(((((((Greenberg))))))))
25
I thought it was obvious
6
Cronk took the line on before kicking forcing the defence to squeeze, fergo had to come in.
3
all holmes btw
7
My grandmother could have caught that.
6
she couldnt
12
Cronk to join Sydney Swans 2018?
7
Absolutely perfect kick but what amazes me even more is the fact that fingers was so far infield. What the fuck was he doing?
Fingers thought it was for sure a grubber
Looked like he was prepared for a shorter kick or grubber. Maybe it was a coached strategy based on Qld usually going short or to Gavin Cooper.
Look where Tedesco is and it makes sense.
Picking up women like bowling balls
cos fat cat woods let an easy line break through so we were compressed in defence
