Weyman, Sailor, Soward, Scott, Weyman??(Do we have his brother), Priddis & Costigan. All on the scrap heap and unwanted. Not a star amongst them. Roosters don't go and buy players and develop them into better players. They brought themselves into 3 GF's. I don't disagree with you there.

Fitzgibbon was a bench player at Saints
Cayless was unwanted by Smith
Mullins was a punt after spending 2 years in England
Morley was brought over by Murray
Fittler was signed in 1996
Catic & Robinson were handy toilers who did their job
Finch & Sing were both about 21 when they signed with us and Sing was bought in about 1995
Wing spent most of his early period with us on the bench
Walker was an early in the season depth recruit who didn't fully nail down a regular starting spot until Hodges was injured
Hodges is probably the only signing of star quality you could find between 2000 and 2005
Who exactly are these players we signed that bought our way into those grand finals?
We had 4 players take the field on friday who have played with an NRL club before the Roosters - Myles, Mason, Fitzgibbon & Kouparitsas.
