So happy……

Hutch had/has an impressive CV and Robbo/recruitment don't often buy poorly. They look for solid past performers who are team players, without egos and who don't cost the Earth. With few exceptions those guys do what is required of them and sometimes they appear to be recapturing the promise they once showed. I thought Corey Allen, after a shaky start, looked confident and very capable. He was a standout in that last minute loss to Melbourne in the Finals last year. I always thought Hutch to be the reliable journeyman that he was/is as well as being a fine human and role model. Role models are also what Robbo factors in. Whether they kick on after being in the Rooster system is moot for a number of reasons but one thing for sure, I bet that they don't choose to leave.

good post.

I'm struggling to name a Roosters player who hasn't been trashed on here which has now extended to the coaching staff.

I thought he tried so hard yesterday, but their high-profile players offered very little. Hutch wasn't picked up by the Dogs to come up with the match winning plays.

Two beauts King. No way he was/is a dumb player. Held the line competently at Easts in a number of positions for those coming through the system. That Robbo compared him to Aubo is evidence enough.

it must also be said , whoever plays in the halves at dogs is on a hiding to nothing , no middles whatsoever .

Burton's talent is being wasted , i suspect so will crichtons , both will miss penrith badly .

mahoney is a shadow of the 9 he was at parra.

it's the club your career goes to die , along with the tigers and titans imo.
