GOD DAMNIT!

Why do people bag him so much?

I thought he was good! He was nothing extraordinary, but solid, and hit like a train in defence - FUNNILY ENOUGH, EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED!

DAMN THE ROOSTERS!

ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Give me some taped games of this guys season at Parramatta and I will show you just how bad he really is. What you will see is quite remarkable how a supposed first grade player could be so poor.

I am DEAD serious.

Remember the game against Brisbane in Parra?

When he came on, our defense tightened up HEAPS.

Is that the only game he played well in? Cause I thought Cayless and Heckenberg was the reason the defense was tightened.

I cant think of any games Crouch had made an impact.

Steve Crouch to the Rorters :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wouldn't it be funny if the Roosters broke the cap by buying Crouch :lol: :lol:

Julian Claire or Jason Donavon have more potential then him.

Look, I am not saying Rufus was Mr. Perfect or anything, but he was solid and gave it a go everytime he played.

And isn't that what some people criticised - that some players weren't giving it a go?

If Hex could improve that drastically over a season, I am sure Rufus could have too, over time.

I think the Heckenberg scenario is a different story altogether.....hekenberg always looked good running the ball up but?? his one on one defence was sus & his ball security was a problem when the pressure was on him!!

Crouch has been around for a while......and really isn't a any different player to what he was at Parra 5 years ago!!

It's funny alot of coaches see something in him (potential) but no one seems to be able to utilise this.

I don't exactly think Hex ran the ball too well before finding form. He never got over the advantage line and always got dumped on his arse.

But then he found EXCELLENT form.

I would have LOVED for him to have stayed here, but it wasn't meant to be.

Crouch had good defence and OK attack. But like someone said - we signed him for depth. He was never meant to replace either Hindmarsh.
