This Cooper Cronk Speech Is The Most Eloquent Thing That's Ever Been Said In Rugby League

Speaking on Triple M's Dead Set Legends, Dan Ginnane read co-host Michael Ennis a quote from Cooper Cronk after Origin III regarding his beautiful kick for Val Holmes (see below).

"To be brutally honest, I was in a state of grace at that particular moment," Cronk said, according to the Daily Telegraph.

"In those few split seconds of time between receiving the ball and landing it at its intended destination, there was no noise in my head whatsoever.

"Every sinew in my body came together - one perfect whole.

"For those that have ever experienced that feeling - and it doesn’t happen very often - will tell you it’s in a whole other place of experience from the usual ego or vanity that drives my game.

"I’m not afraid to own it for what it was. I didn’t feel good or bad about myself afterwards.

"I began to realise that when we are being completely free of our own expectations, the body extends into its natural form, without impediment, and things happen."

"He lost me at ‘grace’," Ennis said.

"That’s better than the kick! 

"Whatever works for him. That is something that I would hear from Richard Mercer."
