Johnathan Thurston has admitted he can’t see Cooper Cronk featuring in Sunday’s NRL grand final, if his shoulder injury is as bad as first diagnosed. Thurston had a debilitating shoulder injury in recent years, ruining his penultimate season in the NRL. Cronk’s left arm was out of the sling at Thursday’s joint press conference but whether the 34-year-old plays is unlikely to be revealed until an hour before kick-off.
Cronk and the Roosters have refused to reveal the full detail of the injury, other than to say it was “severe” and included damage to the rotator cuff following scans last Saturday night. But with experience on his side in a very similar situation, Thurston has delivered a grim message for his former Queensland teammate. “If it’s anything like mine he’ll be no chance,” Thurston said.
