Ahhhh Ben

[Teddy]

just a few things. its a big rebuild to get back from an acl recon and be able to kick bigger.

Ive been looking for xavier Vaa on our site and on social media. there is no link to the roosters for him 2025 at this time. so it might be Delasalle only

Agree the ACL is a dagger in the heart, will take a long time to get it right, but no suggestion that he won’t make a successful recovery.
ACL’s are terrible injuries, we have had way more then our fair share, I don’t know anything about this stuff so I won’t really comment apart from saying that Victor and Kez made successful comebacks from them, how that affects long kicking game? I’m hopeful it doesn’t affect it to much.

Yes I can’t see Xavier either, perhaps the sight hasn’t updated team list?

[HDTONE]

Yep Flanno the coach, maybe a double deal with Kyle don't know.

[milanja]

Flanno the coach

If we are lucky, we might get both

not sure where/why his info has gone ghost but he's turned up for duty with the rest of the young brigade & kicked off pre-season... praying he gets a good start out of the blocks for 2025 after a couple of setbacks over the last 2 years...

Xavier Vaa was listed last year as on a development contract for 2025 and top 30 for 2026. Roosters website needs updating but they dont normally say much about lower grade players

Going to be a massive day when they run out together for an NRL game

Disappointed at no Ben especially if the 600k being reported is actually legitimate. Keary was on 700-750k a season this past season wasn't he? Hunt in 2024 was definitely a better player than Keary by a long distance.

Tedesco, Hunt, Walker and Smith if all are firing would've been a competition winning spine. Tedesco, Sandon/Townsend, Walker and Smith not so much.

The club are working on a cure for insomnia. They reckon our halves combo of Chad and Little Sandon may well cure it.

God knows who we have our sights on as our future 6. Hopefully they won't play Ponga out of position. Classic Robbo move.

On the surface I agree with your thoughts.

Then again, he's clearly a sulky spoilsport who's perfectly prepared to tank it despite being on good money if he doesn't feel like playing.

He wouldn't have given all his effort playing for us.

And he has never won anything - quite the opposite, he has the born loser ring about him - my god I wonder if he still has nightmares about handing that premiership to the cowboys not so long ago.

[roosterchook]

Townsend or Mark N?

Can Mark N kick goals?

At this rate the star signing for 2026 will be like Brodie Croft after a glowing review from Cronk
