Robbo promotes Zach Fittler to the Roosters elite under 17 training squad

[theGman]

We seem to have a large amount of quality young forwards coming through our systems right up to those guys on the fringe of the top 17. I think a few stars are going to emerge over the next 2-5 years.

Agree and I'm excited.

My favourite fittler moment was when he took that intercept of Joey Johns to knock the knights out of the finals.
He always stood up when he was needed most
he's definitely my all time favourite rooster

I have sooo many Freddy moments.. too hard to pick one for me -

when he was on the run and got pulled down about a metre short.. he then puts the ball down to play it and kicks it into the ingoal to score. That was the first time I ever saw that happen and was amazed by it ahaha

- When he ran a beautiful line off toupsy’s offload against Penrith put on a huge step to beat Whesser and all up ran 85M to score with Preston and co on his tail.

- When he threw an absolute pearler off a ball to Singy on the wing against newy, loved that cut out from him.

He and Mini in the latter years formed an awesome combo albeit it was short lived but it was awesome to watch.

Always thought Freddy should have got the CC Medal in 2002. Fitzy got through a lot of work but Freddy changed the game and then nailed the coffin shut for us

Joey’s mouth guard is still stuck in the SFS turf after that game.

Agree 110% Freddy was by far the best on the park that night.

Unfortunately it's not the only time that the selectors have gotten the CC wrong. Both 2013 and 2018 come to mind.

No losing teams player deserves to win it, it should be pretty simple really, and I don’t understand why it is picked around the 60min mark.

Royce Simmons was the biggest rip off of a CC in my opinion.

I put $25 on JWH to win the CC in 2019, it was paying $41 i missed out on $1025 because of those cheats.

It's quite stunning that in 2 of our last 3 GF victories we couldn't land the Churchill medal.

The ex players who make the decisions must surely have some unconscious bias going on...or maybe it's not that unconscious.

Well Bob McCarthy was one of the culprits in 2013. When somebody in the press threw Maloney's name up afterwards he said 'All he did was come up with a couple of lucky kicks and nailed a few goals'. Up there with the most ridiculous statements of all time

Going off the title, does Robbo actually make such decisions about U17 players?
