Cooper Cronk has hit back at claims the Melbourne Storm may be forced into a rebuild after the departure of four of their starting pack following their first week one finals exit in eight years.
The Storm are in a transitional period after the departure of club stalwarts and representative stars Jesse and Kenny Bromwich, Felise Kaufusi and Brandon Smith, which will see them field a new look pack next season.
“The Storm exited the finals in week one for the first time since 2014,” Anasta said on NRL 360.
