Preview:
Cooper Cronk is already a Clive Churchill winner thanks to his brilliant Grand Final performance with the Storm back in 2012. What has eluded the great man in 16 years of rugby league though is back-to-back premierships – meaning we should see a spirited and motivated Cronk on the field this Sunday.
This time last year Cronk took the field in a shoulder sling as he willed the Roosters over the line with a broken scapula. It’s been a much more comfortable leadup this time around for the 35-year-old, and if Cronk’s recent form is anything to go by, he might just put on a show.
Cronk has shown no signs of regression during his second year with the Roosters, and with the Raiders’ focus being on Latrell Mitchell and James Tedesco, there’s every chance the orchestrator at half back leaves his fingerprints on this game.
As far as experience goes, Sunday will mark Cronk’s ninth Grand Final, and although he’s already achieved legend status, a second Clive Churchill would not only make him the sixth multiple Medal winner, but also put him among some fairly elite company.
Tip: Cooper Cronk at at $7.00
Value Tip: Latrell Mitchell at $17.00
