I like Cooper basically saying don't judge me by your standard.
I agree and if football is a business why cant cronk make a business within and with transparency... unlike the two cooks asking the questions (regarding transparency...bottom feeders)
A very well spoken response by cronk. Dudes a legend.
How isn’t it a conflict of interest? If he’s mentoring or helping the halves of the storm be better in the game, doesn’t that help the rorters when planning the game knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the storm halves?
No. I'm not conflicted because I said so, is basically what Cooper said.. ridiculous.
@J G mate put a cork in it.
"journalists" talking about morals and integrity is hilarious
people who have no integrity cant believe that people actually have integrity
Murdoch ones in particular
JD Berne You really think there's a difference? They're all in the disinformation business, I don't care who they work for.
@@rogdedodge7258 there are some with integrity, but not in the Murdoch meat grinder. Just have to know where to look.
JD Berne If you say ABC or SBS I'm just going to vomit
So Buzz work's with Cronk on Fox league and didn't want to just ring him directly and ask him? Instead he prints the article and blames a communication break down but Buzz prints it anyway. Tosser!
it’s all scripted
Don't let fact hunting get in the way of a good story!
That’s King Tosser thank you!
Theyre treating Cronk like hes not one of the greatest halfbacks the game has ever seen, he can do whatever the f he wants
Lol he isn’t he was carried in every team he played in
@@carlinislies4348 wake up
@@carlinislies4348 He carried roosters back2back😐
I don't see how those two points are related. Just because he was great as a halfback doesn't mean he shouldn't treated like a god
He’s the goat in my eyes
Buzz getting called out for his bullshit has him absolutely reeling 😂
Dude is a grub
Lol Buzz was pissing his pants for most of the interview.
Cronk articulated his points perfectly and is obviously levels above Buzz as a person and man
Lol 😆 that’s because he is simple and couldn’t think of anything smart to say as a retort .. he just laughs like a simpleton.. der.. der..der.. 🤣 damn he got completely savaged and exposed as the hack he is, and Kent too, and tbh I enjoyed it! 😂 good on ya Coops! You show your integrity through your confidence.. which comes undoubtedly comes from telling the truth
😂😂😂yup
Cooper owning it on and off the field. Doesn’t need to give up his day job... Buzz on the other hand
defo a salary cap thing tho
Can I say as a St. George and Nsw Blues fan, Ive rarely ever cheered for Cooper Cronk, however I believe Cooper's integrity would be far above reproach. He clearly still has relationships with storm players, he's Melbourne's best half-back of all time so of course they'd want him to mentor the young halves. Bloody hell Buzz and Kenty are sooo dumbfounded by integrity, honesty and not exploiting opportunities because they can't imagine not being backstabbing snakes.
@J G and Manchester utd will still
Be dogshit
@J G nothing like making numbers up.
It'll never be the number 1 spectator sport in Australia - it'll always compete with Rugby Union for 3rd or 4th spot and that's just in football.
But hey, if your argument is its the most popular so it must be the best I hope you enjoy driving your Toyota Camry (because that must be the best - its popular after all)
Andrew Johns in the past has been a coaching consultant for a number of clubs in the past. How is this different
I know, he was a mentor for the knights and a halves coach for manly , nothing different here
Cronk is a Queenslander and the Storm are involved. Typical witch hunt from the press after the Storm win a premiership.
@@SPSki I know right, who even cares
He worked with manly bulldogs knights and eels
maybe if Cronk was on drugs as well it would be ok
haha cooper being so professional with these muppets. Just tell em to kick rocks next time cooper.
The patience was impressive
kent and ikin weren't too bad, buzz on the other hand was being a complete and utter idiot for most of the conversation like he usually is
Cooper is a champion! I love it put Buzz in his place he just dribbles year after year. Maybe Cooper should have asked him why he has multiple jobs working at fox and the retirement home?
🤣🤣🤣 buzz be one of those really annoying old men in the retirement village, always asking for his porridge to be cool down
I just witnessed in Cooper Cronk a coach of the future that will rise to the top the elite level.
Cooper absolutely dismantled every iota of their argument. It was a masterclass in how to stand your ground. He won this by a large margin. No surprises one of the greatest halfbacks I have ever seen is one of the smartest.
This is coming from a Kiwi who thanks god we no longer have to play him. Lol
Very intelligent human.
I know it would never happen due to his roles in Australia but I would love him to come to England to try to sort the sport out over here. Certainly would give us a few home truths
Ridiculous. His argument is essentially "I'm a good guy. I know where the line is. Trust me. I'm Cooper Cronk". Tell me - what EXACTLY is he helping the key playmakers for your biggest rival to do if it isn't improve? They didn't ask him there to make those players WORSE than what they were before. So you are helping your biggest rival to get better. Whilst taking a pay cheque from the Roosters. He should have been canned on the spot. And so should Robinson if he signed off on this.
@@deaddropholiday Ridiculous. How many different clubs have employed Daryl Halligan as their kicking coach? He has worked with multiple teams every year and there has never, EVER been even a whisper of impropriety. Andrew Johns is exactly the same with halfbacks. There is nothing unprecedented happening here, just FAUX outrage from people too easily led by the nose by headline grabbing media personalities.
@@shannonblack3513 BUllshit comparison. Daryl Halligan was NOT in the same role as Cronk. Nothing wrong with an independent contractor working between clubs. But Cronk isn't an independent contractor. He's on the coaching books of the Roosters whilst he's helping two of the best players at their biggest rivals to get better. Who's to say the techniques Cronk imparts to Munster and company don't result in the Storm beating the Roosters. Kenty is absolutely right that someone like Ricky would not tolerate this situation. One final thing - just because you haven't heard any whispers about the likes of Halligan moonlighting between clubs doesn't mean they haven't taken place. It'll all come out in the wash. Probably result in the Storm being stripped of another couple of titles. The sooner they are reduced to ZERO the better for everyone.
As a blues fan, Cooper has caused me years of heartache. But I struggle to hate him. He is a gentleman of the game and I can’t help but defend him when people attack his character.
So when Andrew Johns coached every single half back in the league it was ok but now cooper Cronk briefly does 1 and half teams and it’s headlines 🤦🏾♂️
That’s a fair point. Cooper Cronk is allowed to coach or give his advice from a personal improvement point of view.
"What you consider impossible, I may well consider possible." If theres any man on the face of the planet that I reckon can say that its this bloke.
I think its fair to say a lot of us in the comment section are bit more capable and aware than old Buzz😂
Stop the fight!
Cooper absolutely nailed that.
Stop, he's already dead!
Cooper Cronk much respect from a NSW fan
How the hell is Buzz a somebody in the game at all?
Embarrassed for Fox everytime he appears on air.
Be ridiculous to see his pay. His whole demeanour and body language seems slimey, yet he’d still be making good $
Cronk is such a professional in everything he does.
Come help the broncs..... pls lol
There’s no helping that train wreck haha
U guys need it
Broncs need Lebron at this point lol
@@ceciliagodinet733 as a 110% bronco fan, your comment made me laugh and I cant be mad 😂 Broncos all day....
Nah you guys look great at the bottom of the ladder
These guys are judging Cronk by what their integrity is like ( hahahaha).cronk will do a professional job .
Lmao and Cooper has integrity?!?! Salary cap cheater.
@@SPEKULATE its not cronks fault they breached the salary cap lol wtf wake up to yourself
It's more alarming who is doing kentys hair before shoot, oh lord just shave it lad
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Whispers are it’s a toupee lol
I’m a storm fan and grew up with Cooper Cronk and Cooper was my favourite player, I really couldn’t care if he helps Hughes and Munster and than goes backs and coaches the roosters
So many ex-players have helped multiple clubs. Joey Johns for years was consultng at multiple clubs. Hasam El Masri used to coach kicking at 5 or 6 different clubs at one point. From a fan perspective, I can't see anything wrong with this.
Lol don’t worry 😉 the fans they were referring to in this were just the loser trolls who hang out in the ‘daily smellegraphs’ comments section 🤔 🤨 😂 they probably aren’t even real people tbh let alone real fans of OUR game! These reporters exist for gossip because they are small minded and can’t comprehend concepts like integrity .. because they have none 😊
Cooper with the alpha move of not letting buzz interrupt EVER but lets Iken politely point something out. This is brilliant
Didn't even notice that till you said it 😆😆
This guy seems like the most intelligent player I have ever seen on TV. Great talker and so articulate with his response.
how good is it to see this comment section filled with cronk support, both storm, roosters and other fans alike agreeing that if anyone in the game could have a hand in both clubs without having their integrity questioned, it's cooper
Buzz is the greatest example for all talk no walk
As a Roosters fan I am happy with Cooper's situation. He has more integrity than buzz, ikin and kent combined
As a Storm fan i’m more then comfortable and happy to have Coops play his role for the club. His a legend at the Storm and wouldn’t do anything to jeopardise his relationship with them. Buzz is a complete flog the end
Buzz acting like a worm in this interview
Crazy how disrespectful the media is these days and how they can lie and no one holds them accountable.
Buzz has no job reporting NRL.
Brilliantly handled by Cooper Cronk...great posture, believe in what he does and defense of his integrity.
Ben iken defending cooper thank you
Why is Buzz trying to butt in on Cooper when he's doing a good job of explaining himself
I understand the issue. He’s part of the coaching team of Roosters and also mentoring some players from Melbourne. BUT, both teams and coaches have signed off on it so 🤷🏼♂️. He says he can do both. I can appreciate that it can be hard and the question can be asked. Ben said other former players do a similar thing too.
Love watching Cronk straightening out Buzz
Even when he is being clear and transparent in front of buzz, the parasite still carries on #shutyafacebuzz
Bros that's not even a hashtag 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@nrlclips3653 should be
@@nrlclips3653 it is now🤣🤣🤣 #shutyafacebuzz
@@utaichoro no I meant like it has no videos and that
So these 3 muppets are basically asking: How do you keep a secret when you're speaking to people that would like to hear it?
It's f&&king simple, INTEGRITY as Coop said, odd that reporters have an issue understanding that when they have zero ability to keep quiet about anything..
Media grubs and that old flog needs a slap 👋🏼
Buzz making a mountain out of a molehill with this situation. Glad Cooper has given his side of the story :)
"Are we okay?" "NO, NO WE ARE NOT!" Fair going Coop, bloke deserves a dig
@1:57 Rothfield shows his pure lack of professionalism by not fact checking with the appropriate sources, which is 'muck raking' in any other language. NRL has a rich history of ex players helping 'rival' clubs with skills. Andrew Johns is one of the current skills coaches who works for various clubs.
Thank you cooper cronk from a roosters fan. Your such a loyal bloke, im glad your still helping out the storm because they were a big part of your sucess and vice versa.
Cooper speaks so well!
This is so confusing. Cronk shouldn’t have to explain himself at all.
Kent's hair 😆
Cooper plz come to the broncos we need your help
How is Kent a journalist I remember the whole ivan Cleary and ref situation and he broke all jounalist rules
It’s called being a professional.
Journalists need to take note from Coops.
Cooper Cronk is the best in the business and his intergrity with club offers to encourage younger players,e,well done mate CC👋👋👍🇦🇺🇵🇬
Journos sitting back questioning everyone's integrity lol imagine if they looked in the mirror they'd have the stories of their lives
@sokin jon 😂😂
Maybe 🤔 they do look in the mirror and and that’s how they come up with new episodes for ‘Days of our Lives’ 😆 🤣
I honestly understand the technicality in regards to his multiple positions between competing clubs but in my own personal opinion I believe Melbourne will always find space for Cooperin any way possible to be a part of their club in regards to what Melbourne done for him and what he done for Melbourne but as he explained his coaching prowess is solely with the roosters and only corporate events with Melbourne I feel it another we for Melbourne to say thank you for the service to the club and what he has done and mad props to them for doing such a thing never forgetting what Cooper Cronk done for the Melbourne Storm organization
Massive respect to Cooper. Take a look at the nba, all players and former players regardless of team they are/were at train together to be the best they possibly can be and raise the entire standard of the league. And look at the amount of widespread talent they have! The standard across the board of the nba is ridiculously high, why wouldn’t NRL fans and execs want this too? It could take rugby league to a whole other level.
Coops still kicking ass...such a legend
Kent says the comments section is in favour of buzz. This section must of been hacked 🤔
About time buzz gets pulled up for he’s writing
I think it reveals Buzz and Kent’s character hat they can’t believe someone is able to act with integrity.
This is how the media creates news cycles:
1. A journalist writes an article on their newspaper.
2. The journalist then comes on Fox show to discuss what he wrote.
3. More articles are written on what the journalist said on the Fox show.
They create their own work and they think or assume people are looking into their garbage.
. I’m not even a fan of both clubs he played for or him. But Cooper held him self very professionally and had intelligent answers 👌🏽
Even most roosters fans agree cooper always will be a Melbourne great not a roosters great
@alida flus SIMP
if his employees are happy with what he is doing then thats all that matters... everyone else can shut up.
Ben And Cooper vs Buzz and PK
How is Buzz still working?
Cooper is 100% correct, he’s straight talking about his job with both clubs.
Writing stories after talking to people who don’t know the full details just to sell papers, nothing new.
Cooper could have won that discussion with a broken jaw
Working for the DT and Fox Sports Buzz not a conflict??
its funny how the 2 reporters are the ones questioning integrity, and the 2 footballers are stay loyal to there integrity. Buzz and Kent find it hard to believe someone has integrity because in their own world (media), the trashier you are, the further you go..
👏🏽
Jeez this is spicy Cronk stood up for himself
If coaches were worried about gameplan etc being leaked to either club then they wouldn't have signed him...jus caus media weren't informed doesn't mean its wrong..
Well done Cooper. handled that very well
Copper too smart man 😂😂
It's funny that Journalists don't realise just how lowly they're held by the public in terms of integrity. They shouldn't question anyone's integrity
@@rogdedodge7258 exactly it was funny watching buzz backtrack on his words 🤣😂
Valid questions but Cooper handled it well.
Whether he's right or wrong, it's good to see him front up and say exactly how it is without tip toeing around the questions
They need to go old school. Whoever wins in a fist fight, is the winner 🤣
Love Buzz telling Cooper what his job is, what a gronk
Buzz is the biggest pleb
Was never a fan of cooper, but he was a Queenslander, but also storm rooster, but he is 100% upfront. He walks away from this interview as a tough nut.
Cooper Cronk is the goat halfback premiership winner both storm and roosters
To good you are Coops. You pretty much rebutted brutally with well structured responses hence forcing Buzz to find faults and keep throwing stones at you.
I actually thought that this was quite a civil conversation. Enjoyed it
Copper your a champion and ambassador for the game, a true professional. Keep up the good work bro 👍🏼👍🏼
I love it. Glad to see you guys back!!!!
I don't see a problem. If he's needed to help and inspire different teams and players... great.
Good on ya cooper..awesome
This is round one, start off with a Bang! 🤣😂🤣😂😂💯
Johns has been doing this for years without question. The Professor schooled Buzz the has been.
Great to see Cooper kick an old “never was been” in the nuts! Musta had problem finding them!
I understand the fact that he's well within his rights to do both and that everything is transparent between himself and the two clubs. I just don't see how a club in a competitive environment gains any advantage by allowing one of it's employees to operate in an advisory/mentoring capacity at another club. Another club who also happens to be one of their biggest rivals in recent years. Also, if there is no advantage in it for them as I'm sure they already know...then why allow it? It just doesn't make an ounce of sense from the Roosters standpoint, especially if they value the mans input. Why lend a helping hand to a rival??
love you cooper. give it to em.
Coops, 100% admiration and respect from the common man. This passes ths pub test any day, any time.
Buzz, stop making criticism and fight picking your headline. Give us some positive feedback and news about God's winter game.
Cronk must be making a fortune, good on him has taken a good path after football. Good role model for young and up coming players .
What a class man Cooper is. These twats peppering him with questions like he is on trial here. He handled it with such grace and self discipline.
Not much smoke in this story. There hasn't been too many more honest or professional people in RL than Cooper Cronk - and I'm a Raiders supporter.
I think I got a glimpse of Buz's wheel chair in the corner
Talking to a legend like he a kid!
Well handled cooper...
Could be a new off-field rivalry video for me to do. I already did Sterling v Rothfield.
So Cronk can play for Storm, Qld, and Australia for 9 seasons straight, win 4 finals, 9 state series and every series played for Australia, leave the storm, play 2 seasons for the Roosters and win 2 grand finals with them, and Buzz questions if he can consult to one club while helping with player development at another?
Cronk was the most disciplined to play the game, Buzz is just another reporter looking for clicks. Cronk put him in his place.
Just curious, if Cronk works with munster and halves of storm leading up to a roosters game, what does he say ? Does he coach them and advise them deliberately the wrong way to ensure the roosters win ? He did say roosters are his #1 choice ?
In which case, why would storm work with Cooper leading up to roosters games, knowing roosters are his #1 choice ??
Good on you coops✊
Getting my league fix watching Justin Hodges vs Troy McMahon in the boxing ring , let’s go league !
Johns brothers did it for years but know one really knew about so know one cared .
