SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian halfback Cooper Cronk, who formed a three-man spine at the most dominant club, state and international rugby league teams of his era, announced on Monday that he would be retiring at the end of this season.

The 35-year-old said he was planning to go out on a high by helping the Sydney Roosters, the club he joined for his swansong last season, become the first team to win back-to-back National Rugby League (NRL) titles in a quarter of a century.
