    Out of the players off contract end of this year:

    Fletcher Baker, Egan Butcher and possibly Isaac Liu are the only players I could see leaving for more game time.

      Can't see Isaac leaving.

      The two that came to mind were Hutch and Egan Butch. Hutch has filled in well but with guys returning in the next couple of weeks I think we'll see:
      6 Lam
      9 Verrils
      14 Keighran
      which pushes Hutch to Bears. Will be interesting to see what Robbo does.

        I think Hutch has looked better the last 2 games than Lam has ever been.

          Isaac gets plenty of time on the field.

            And he's part of the leadership group. I don't think we will lose anything other than a couple of depth players to the Sharks.

              All the best to Fitzy. He’s done way too much for us already and deserves a big pay packet rise and a head coach job. I think it’s the challenge too. With Easts we’ve been up the top and he’s seen I think 4 premierships with us. But I’ll miss him a lot.

                I think Fitzy's dad coached the sharks.

                Cannot begrudge him the opportunity to coach first grade. Has been a loyal servant to Easts.

                        He's steady ay? Nothing spectacular but the commentators were talking him up big time last week when we were down 18-4.

                        I remember Hutcho did a nice, safe but spiralling kick to Kennedy and they were like 'that is EXACTLY what he has to do... a kick like that is fukking impossible to catch, limits their 1st tackle options and eventually somebody's gonna make a mistake if he keeps it up without trying to force something'.

                        What happened soon after? Hutcho scored himself to break the ice... then as the Sharks started going 'aaaw shyte!!! They can totally score 2 tries in 20 minutes!!!' the mistakes started to happen and Walker guided us to victory.

                        Patience won the game. IMO Drew has a lot of patience and positive energy.

                        • Hey guys, been a while since I pestered you. Pretty happy Fitz is coming across, think he’ll be good for us and you have to admire him wanting to honour his contract with you guys. Says lot about him.

                          Whilst I’m not expecting a Barrett /Panthers situation where he’s raiding them I do expect a few players to come over and I’ve heard a few props.

                          One is Liu and the younger Butcher. And maybe someone who’s boarding with Fitz, but not sure if that’s true. They could all be rumours .

                            Great signing for you guys. He’s learnt from the best. I don’t think Isaac will leave The Roosters and the younger Butcher you can have.

                            Just remember that Fitzy is just on loan. He’s a Rooster legend and life member and will one day return home.

                            • I know we’ve had discussions with Liu but I guess we’ll see.

                              He can be life member and legend and still coach another club
                              Can’t see Robbo leaving for a while. You can have him back in 20 years, I’ll be too old to care about it then. Morris twins probably still playing.

                                Guarantee when Robbo takes over from Uncle Nick Fitzy will be back to take over from Robbo. Please don't ruin him in the meantime buy teaching him the bad habits of some of your previous coaches.
