Full extent of Cronk's painful injury revealed

Finally on Friday night, Cronk picked up the phone and told Robinson he would be sticking his hand up to play."It's the toughest thing I've seen from an individual to go out there and play like that with a fracture like it was, it was incredible. He's a strong, strong man," Robinson said.While the Wide World of Sports' phone call to Bennett was one test of the
Roosters' commitment to their misdirection in regards to Cronk's condition, his only training session for the week - a wrestle with the physio on Friday held in Neutral Bay, well away from where the Roosters' team preparations were taking place - was another.In the end, all the secrecy and lack of transparency was justified when Cordner and Jake friend lifted the premiership trophy.
