I agree with that squad Stomp. However i think Finch will be the Halfback with Firman at Five-eighth and also i think Fa'aoso will take Catic's spot on the bench.

have to disagree there

i am quite sure finch will be 5/8 and firman half back
finch is much bigger and he will bulk up more over the off season

Expect to see Soliola in the centres next year. He would have been blooded in first grade this year, but due to Salary Cap restraints he wasnt allowed to play.

Bye bye Chris Walker :clap:

I'd prefer to see Flannery get a starting position next year in the Centres and bring in Webby to replace Flanners on the Bench.

Are you Roosters fans worried that there isn't much beef in your forwards, and your outside backs bear a resemblance to turnstiles?

It'll be very interesting to see how this squad performs - what will Ricky do with them? I'm guessing he brings a bunch of players up to speed defensively, and plays the game at great speed, but is the class there (sans Fittler) to win big/ close games?

The main factor of there season is not recovering from successive gf defeats but geeting over freddy. Stats point out that when freddy left the field in the past two years the roosters would let in 2 or 3 soft try's. but finch and firman will cover the attacking loss. Have roosters decided on a captain, i just havent heard if they did thats all.
