Cooper Cronk etches himself into Origin folklore | Game 3, 2012 | Classic Origin Finishes | NRL

[@challengeaccepted750]

Take us back to these times.. the world was a better place.

[@JamesWillis-yy5px]

Na, the last two series were the goat.

[@C9H0S]

Peter Sterling voice & And Rabs is the best commentary. 🙂👍🏾

[@deejay8ch]

7:34, after insightful commentary by Sterlo re Carney and Cronk Rabs: "It could be said that Cooper Cronk went plonk..." Other coms: Groans, pained laughs, "not one of your best" Sterlo: "It could be said Ray but don't please"

[@stiflerclassics2645]

Did you listen to Gus Gould's latest pod episode? Some real groaners over the years from Rabs it sounds like.

[@deejay8ch]

@@stiflerclassics2645 No I haven't and not upset I missed it but he's been an institution so there you go

[@Jesso_21]

Massive Broncos & QLD fan & I try not to be biased but I thought Sterlo was when younger lol. I never thought I'd miss certain commentators & voices that were synonymous with particular games back then. When Tony Grieg passed, watching test cricket was never the same & I realised & knew one day Rabs would leave S.O.O. too. He was the voice of my gen & I'll always remember, "They can't take them off him, they wont take that off him," in reference to Darren Lockeys try game 3 2006. It's funny to see & hear recaps of Sterlo & Rabs. They were 2 ppl I actually followed despite me believing Sterlo was biased for many years & those poor attempts at humour with Rabs until Gould became channel 9's cringy go to & Rabs once again the voice we needed & wanted to hear. I can picture Sterlo when Rbs said this 🙄🤦‍♀️ Fatty wasnt the greatest commentator but he was the better host for Thurs night Footy Show & it was hilarious at it's peak, Sterlo best for Sunday show real footy talk. Sterlo also knew the best days of the Footy Show had passed when he left Thurs night & I doubted this at first. I know they have to find a balance as such with the dynamics for fans but I already missed Sterlos

[@stanmaroveii2671]

In 2022, that would be a clear knock-on from Morris

[@james2155]

Yeah and the tackle on Pearce as he went for the field goal would have been a penalty, 10 in the bin, and a 4 week suspension

[@sabanaeem6067]

Nice Video I was there when Queensland Marrons won the game it was a great game

[@br11tnbros42]

Nowadays that field goal would be a 2 pointer

[@Nic.kname.09]

Nowadays it would be a 7-tackle set and he probably kicks from 30m.

[@sakatagintoki2888]

@@daveross1638 Cronk won four NRL Premierships from nine NRL Grand Final appearances including 3 premierships in a row, 2017, 2018, and 2019, the only player to do that in the NRL era. He won the Dally M Medal as the NRL's player of the year in 2013 and 2016, the Clive Churchill Medal as best player in the 2012 NRL Grand Final, the Golden Boot Award as international player of the year in 2016, and the NRL's Dally M Halfback of the Year on five occasions but Dave Ross from youtube said he was overrated....sure!

Phil Gould not complaining about the intervention of the video ref this time!!

[@rtautua3370]

Simpler times

[@rogergreen9861]

Gould is a windsock. His view on the bunker changes with each situation.

[@youwillownnothingandbehapp2678]

At the 4:56 mark, Cronk kicks on the 5th tackle from 55m out. Doesnt kick for his wingers to chase but kicks straight towards the goal posts, the dude is measuring his distance. The chad knew a big dropout was likely and later on he nails it. Literally the next set Queensland gets, cronk gets Miles to run straight then Shillo to dart for metres left with the fastest playtheball you've ever seen and on the last tackle 6:52 cronk scores the field goal from the same area he measured the distance earlier, only closer. I love watching this game blazed.

[@philmckrakin6752]

My dad invented blazing 😂

[@zaccbruv3693]

Imagine if Farrah was paying attention to playing the ball….

[@nobletenshi7659]

Considering he was amung the best for NSW (along with the Morris brothers) over those years of loosing. Its just an untimely mistake many players make. A fumble in the play the ball. His billiant kick is what got them back into the game...

[@ezymambu5459]

Still wouldn't change the outcome. QLD will always find a way to win

[@petersimpson6110]

At the 10.57 mark Robbie Farah has his hand on the side line, just before he loses the ball lol. That is OUT !!!

Josh's try is a knock on if a pass hits the ground even with hands on it it's a knock out.

[@russoswerve7856]

Thank god robbie Farah has never played for my team. Tigers and Blues have had such losing cultures and he was a part of that

[@justintricker7602]

I was overjoyed when he knocked back the Titans in 2009 or 2008. Certainly seemed to destabilise teams with his ego. A lot like Hayne really.

[@filexjane7993]

Hey Nrl fans, Im a new nrl fan and im tryna catch up with the legends. Wanted to ask, Cronk or JT was the best 7 for Kangaroos ? Who had the jersey?

[@sebbenson6213]

Ive never noticed this before but the charge down on pierce at 13:53 warrants a penalty right? Diving at the legs on a field goal attempt similar to that one on Reynolds by James graham that one time? Or did the rule not exist yet?

[@BrisbaneBroncosfan67]

That Reynolds example was 3 years later, so maybe the rule was implemented some time after 2012

[@blehgg]

back when origin was fun to watch

[@KristingusPorpingus]

That 4th tackle run by Gallen was dumb asf. If you know you need a field goal run to the middle, hes left Pearce with a terrible spot to kick from

[@jaminapo4654]

Honestly 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️😂😂😂

The only way he maintains possession is by using Boyd's body.

[@etphonehome351]

Yeah I guess so. Ball came in contact with Boyd

[@nobletenshi7659]

Even todays rulings, I still see that as a try, as long as the balls in his grasp (behind his hands). then its all good. Im even a QLDer and see that as a fair try. Its why some of the "new" rullings they go by nowdays pisses me off alot
