Several media outlets have ran stories in the past few weeks about the breakdown in the relationship between Cronk and Smith.

The pair played together for nearly two decades in the Queensland Cup, for the Storm, the Maroons and the Kangaroos.

But the Roosters halfback has denied a rift between him and Smith.

"From my point of view it absolutely is fine,” Cronk told reporters.

"I know there will be a lot of talk about it and everyone has their right to adjudicate or have an opinion, but I’m not in the area of commenting on it publicly.

"We’re absolutely fine; we’ve spoken different times."
