McCabe, Boustead, Cleal, Schubert, Barklay and Dave Brown in one hit. All great players. The Manly side of 83 could've passed for the Easts team of 82. Manly did the same thing to Wests and Souths in the 70's. The Roosters buy players like every other club in the comp but the notion that we "RAPE" clubs is utter bullsh1t!
I think the Roosters would happily do the same if the oppotunity ever came up.
Tell us who are the Roosters gonna blood when Fittler retires? Barrett? Anasta?
The fact is Easts haven't done that. But don't let the truth get in the way. ;-)
So back to the question, any young blood coming through to replace Fittler? What about when Ricko retires? What do you honestly think will happen?
When Ricko retires Flannery will play lock. Although Crocker could play lock and Flannery at 5/8.
Most likely the latter scenario actually.
Flannery is not a 6. He can play wing, centre, fullback, second row, lock, and maybe even hooker. But not 6, he has only played there when desperately needed. He lacks anything that resembles play making abilities. No offence to the guy, cause like I said before, he is a fine player, not just not one that can play in the 6 and take a team to the finals let alone the grand final.
