Five Roosters Greats Awarded Life Membership at 2026 AGM

[Vasco]

Craig Salvatori is my all time favourite Easts player. He was a shinning light during some dark times.

How fired up was he coming down the tunnel.

He was on fire in 1992 until he headbutted Brett Boyd.

Not a bad goal kicker too.

I walk past the Bali mural all the time down on the beach and will always stop as I see his wife's name. He'd been in the middle of painting the house of a lady I worked with based in Coogee at the time and she'd said what a lovely man he was and how she just couldn't begrudge him not coming back to finish the job as she had 2 little daughters too like Craig. I really must dig up some old videos of that era of matches and watch them again.

Congratulations to all these legends, was at the Seasons launch tonight and seen them all being presented with their memberships.

Also spoke with Savala and a few others, he is a complete champion love this guy, he is a true fan of the club & told us he has signed for a few more seasons & never wants to leave. I personally think he will be our next club captain.

I'm glad you had a good time and I used to go years ago and catch up with Jman and his lovely wife. I always took one of my friends as Jake was boarding with her at the time, plus she had gone to school with Russell Fairfax so meeting him was a great privilege.

Thanks for letting us know about Hugo as he's my current favourite. I was hoping he'll be sticking around..that news just made my week so thanks again..

Salvo is up there with my all time favourite Chooks. When he made Origin it was the first time I'd ever seen a Rooster play at that level. And he had a blinder.

They were bleak, bleak years. A time for the true believers.

This is fantastic. Congratulations to the new life members and their families.

All of them are favorites of mine. A special mention for Les Hayes who I enjoyed watching through all grades. He usually was a reserve for first grade after playing a full second grade game and was one of the toughest players we had, a boxer who fought at the stadium and also on the footy field. I can remember him getting the better of much bigger forwards.
