It's a test not a distraction says Storm star

Cooper Cronk says playing for Australia is a great honour and he won't consider Friday's rugby league test a welcome distraction from his club's salary cap turmoil. Cronk and his Kangaroos teammates assembled in Melbourne on Monday ahead of the Anzac test against New Zealand. The match will be the first ever played at the city's new rectangular stadium, AAMI Park, and is expected to be close to a sell-out. Selected to replace injured incumbent Johnathan Thurston at halfback, Cronk is one of four Melbourne players in the side along with Cameron Smith, Greg Inglis and Billy Slater. Cronk said there was no ill-feeling from other Australian players toward their Melbourne teammates as investigations continue after their club was punished by the NRL for long-term salary cap rorting. "What preceded this doesn't really count for much," Cronk said. "When you represent your country everything's about wearing the green and gold." The Kangaroos' four Storm players have been in good form as their club won both their NRL games since being stripped of two premiership titles and banned from playing for competition points in 2010. And Cronk said calling the test match a welcome distraction from the turmoil at the Storm would be disrespectful. "I wouldn't use it as a distraction at all," he said. "When you represent your country, to call it that doesn't give the jersey or the feelings or emotions and everything that comes with it."
