Best Roosters Team of the Past decade

[Steakface]

Sparked by the 'Your Fave Roosters Player' thread, it made me realise that we have been so fkn lucky over the past 10 years or so. We could likely have 3 Premiership worthy lineups to pick from. Its never been a better time to be a Chook, and i think we should all remain thankful for that.

This is mine. I reckon they'd rack up 60 points against even Melbourne Storm in their Waldron $$ prime.

The other centre is hard, fatty was never making it, tossed up SKD and Fergo I love em both but Jennings has less wtf moments. Mini and Jimmy I really wanted to put in but Mini’s probably better suited to the 00’s decade and Kez/Cronk ain’t gettin beat. Heaps of forwards missed out Guerra, Collins, Sitilli etc. Hard squad to crack

sure we won 2 comps with cronk but if pearce had stayed we'd be pushing for the 4peat this year

Notable omissions:
- RTS (I just don't think his left foot step cracks it when compared with Teddy's game. Toops is more loyal + has become Mr Consistency. B-Moz... it's just such an honour to have had him on our books).
- Jennings (I think Latrells got a much bigger skillset... includes his kicks, vertical leap, passing and MASSIVE 'don't ask').
- Manu (he'll make the next list I'm sure and his form before some d*ckhead [who makes the list on form] broke his jaw was incredible).
- Minichiello (Teddy's better than Mini was in his twilight. Mini's longevity and adaptability was amazing though!)
- Maloney (I think Keary's better... aaaaw is he though with Maloney's kicking + personality? Tough! Real tough)
- Stapo (I shed a tear when I realised he hadn't made the cut)

For mine, Todd Carney was a top 3 best individual season along with Tedesco’s dally M season and SBW’s 2013 and since people either toss up between Maloney and Keary who were/are great for us I wanted to give Toddy some recognition.

Jennings was fantastic for us and came without the rocks and diamonds of SKD or the temper tantrums of Latrell

I’m a sucker for Luke O’Donnell and his signing was the one that convinced me we would win the comp, we needed that fire.

honourable mentions:

Daniel Conn: arrived with little expectation and was by far the surprise of 2010 he performed well above expectation.

Aidan Guerra: busted a gut for years for us, legend.

SKD: don’t care, he was a true rooster and gets way too much shit from fans. Broke the try scoring record, club legend.

Brett Morris: the player I always wished we signed 10 years ago, won us the 2019 grand final.

Blake Ferguson: played for us longer than I realised, really did good for us especially in 2018 although he never hit the heights of Canberra 2013 for us.

Daniel Mortimer: he was awesome off the bench in 2013 and it was a feel good story seeing him turn around a shit few years at Parramatta.

Jason Ryles: he was really good in 2010, didn’t have it in 2011 and the sin bin at Newcastle was a farce.

Mitchell Pearce: I think he needs to be respected more than he is but let’s be honest you could pick any combination of Carney, Keary, Maloney and Cronk and it would be better.

Pearce at 7 is ridiculous. It should be Lam. Otherwise agree.
