ROOSTERS 2004 v ROOSTERS 2013- Which team was better?

[Guest]

You probably won't win a Finch is better than Pearce argument on here "O", not these days anyway, however it must be said that most of the criticism of Finch came post Freddie's career, so maybe the 2004 version of Finch might pip the 2013 version of Jnr Jnr!?

There's no question of this. Finch was on fire in 2004 and was robbed of a Dally M.

I love Mitchell Pearce at club level, and I'm talking about Brett Finch circa 2004. I actually had Moa on the bench, but thought Kennedy was hitting form when he got injured .

Also the coach was a no brainier ...... Trent Robinson

Incorrect call at this stage IMO.

In 2004 Ricky had been with the club for three years and was pretty close to having three premierships.

[Spanner in the works]

1. Mini
2. Hegarty
3. Jennings
4. Flannery
5. RTS

6. Fittler
7. Pearce

8. JWH
9. Wing
10. Morley
11. SBW
12. Fitzgibbon
13. Ricketson

14. Cayless
15. Tupou
16. Cordner
17. Crocker

That's what I'd pick. Flannery might not be as naturally talented but Hodgo was shithouse in 2004.

Had people made the right decisions back then, then this could have been the halves pairing.

6. Fittler
7. Thurston

I tortue myself at night with dreams of that.

1. Mini (2012)
2. Sam Perret
3. BJ Leilua

5. Chris Walker
6. Finch
7. Pearce
8. Cusack
9. Mortimer
10. Kennedy
11. Guerra
12. Aubo
13. FPN

that was actually pretty hard thinking up a team of nuffies.

[roostersrule2]

needs more Sonny Tuigamala

He played in 09.

The team should be:

1. Flannery
2. Flannery
3. Flannery
4. Flannery
5. Flannery
6. Flannery
7. Flannery
8. Flannery
9. Flannery
10. Flannery
11. Flannery
12. Flannery
13. Flannery

14. Flannery
15. Flannery
16. Flannery
17. Flannery

He could play anywhere.

[sydroosters]

well the only thing I remember from 2004 is when crocker dropped the ball at the end of the grand final so I cant say who is better but going on that the 2004 side had the greatest ever player in their side, won the minor premiership and made the grand final, they are probably the better team but if the roosters I no can go 1 step better than we can judge

Trent Robinson is a far better coach than Ricky, and I'm not taking into account his record since leaving the roosters.
He had a fantastic squad of players between 2002-2006. In 05 when Freddy retired, the roosters missed the 8. Ricky IMO, is not a great club coach. You'd be suprised, how many players don't want to play under him

[Guest]

Any composite side without Ricko and you ain't fair dinkum.
