Cooper Cronk insists he and fellow Queensland great Cameron Smith remain on speaking terms.

Eyebrows were raised when the Roosters halfback briefly shook his former Melbourne teammate’s hand but embraced everyone else who greeted him when the two sides played in Adelaide in June, while reports continue to circulate that they have fallen out.

“Everything is fine,” Cronk maintained on Tuesday.

“Read into it as you will and dissect it as much as you want but from my point of view (everything between us) absolutely is fine.”

According to reports, Smith was upset after Cronk spent much of last season undecided about what his future held and then announced in October he’d signed a two-year deal with fellow top four side the Roosters.

The champion halfback had said he decided to make the move so he could be with Sydney-based fiance, Fox Sports presenter Tara Rushton.

When the couple married in December, Smith and his family didn’t attend despite their long-standing friendship.

“I know there will be a lot of talk about it and everyone has their right to adjudicate or have an opinion but I’m not in the area of commenting on it publicly,” Cronk said.

“We’re absolutely fine; we’ve spoken different times.”

Asked about the prospect of having to line up against Smith should the heavily-fancied Roosters and Storm play-off in the NRL grand final, Cronk was non-committal.

“There are still five weeks to go (before the finals start) and there’s a lot of football to be played,” he said.
