Insult to injury: Cooper Cronk goes down after being smashed in a late tackle by Tevita Tatola

“We wanted to put him under pressure when he kicked the footy.“That didn’t have any impact on the game.”Asked if they should have run more traffic at the injured playmaker, Seibold said: “You spend your life targeting Cooper, I don’t understand. He was still making his tackles.“Where we needed to be better was our attention to detail in attack. We didn’t get to the right areas on the field.”Robinson praised the work of Joseph Manu and Mitchell Aubusson in shielding Cronk without the ball.“You saw Aubusson, the work that he did,” he said.“He worked tirelessly in and around Cooper. And also Joey Manu. I’m
not sure how many he made, but he made some big efforts around Cooper as well.“It’s an experienced guy knowing how to work his way around the field without actually have to make too many incidental ones.”The Storm and Roosters battled it out to the end for the minor premiership and will now meet for the right to claim the major one.“We know what to expect from the Storm,” Robinson said.“My focus will be on readying for that but also getting the best out of us. There’s a cog or two more to go for us. We haven’t stopped improving all year and we have a week left for improvement.”
