Cooper Cronk has made a passionate plea to his fellow NRL players to "behave higher than the law" after a meeting with the NRL's top executives on Friday.

Cronk was one of a handful of senior Sydney Roosters players who met with NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg, chief operating officer Nick Weeks and head of football Graham Annesley at the club's temporary home in the Entertainment Quarter at Moore Park.

Greenberg completed his 'state of the game' presentation before talk quickly turned into "heated" discussion, according to Cronk.

"Todd and the leaders of the game are going around to the senior players of every club and giving a state of the game address, giving their opinions and I think that works well in terms of getting some feedback face to face," Cronk said.
