Cronk call on horizon

SYDNEY Roosters halfback Cooper Cronk says he will make an announcement in the next few weeks on his NRL future.

Cronk is in the final season of his two-year Roosters deal but hasn’t ruled out playing on – and potentially breaking through the 400-game barrier.

The 35-year-old will run out for his 356th first-grade match on Sunday against Canberra at Suncorp Stadium as part of Magic Round.

With it, he will go past former Queensland State of Origin and Australian Test teammate Darren Lockyer into second on the all-time list of most appearances.

Only his former Melbourne teammate Cameron Smith – who is eight games away from his 400th game – sits ahead of him.
