Message: [QUOTE="titan4wests, post: 2284636, member: 2047"] As far as combinations go, I think we will be ALOT stronger with Cronk at halfback anyway... The smith, cronk, slater, inglis factor is a HUGE reason the storm have played in the last 4 grand finals. folau also knows how to play with them... Cronk is also a "true halfback" unlike thurston (who is more suited to playing a 5/8 role IMO)... from next year on the halves are more than likely going to be cronk and thurston anyway so perhaps this will be a good thing for Cronk in that he will be introduced to origin with an EXTREMELY experienced big game/origin LEGEND outside of him to show him the ropes in Lockyer... With the storm boys controlling most of the plays, Lockyer will just chime in when he sees an opportunity rather than having to direct the play wide every set because Thurston just wants to use his show and go (as useful as the show and go has been to us in the past 4 years, hell, he practically won us the 2007/08 series with his show and go) Don't get me wrong, with Thurston, we win matches because of him... but in my honest opinion, with Thurston our potent backline is not used to its full potential... Thurston is and has been our best individual player and performer, but with cronk, i reckon our backline will get more opportunities to shine [/QUOTE]
