One must always be careful when drawing comparisons from one player to the next. No one player is exactly like another. But the aura of expectation that Blake Ferguson brings to this coming season for the Roosters, borders that which Sonny Bill Williams brought with him. Both troubled with decisions that saw them leave the sport. Granted, SBW had no criminal charges or convictions levelled at him for walking away from the Bulldogs, but his reputation had suffered a substantial blow. What he did together with his teammates in those short 2 years in the Red, White & Blue is give Roosters supporters a premiership, instil that SBW work ethic and significantly for him, rebuilt his reputation in the Rugby League community.
Blake Ferguson's reputation laying in pieces on the floor is no one's fault but his own, but it seems that he has started getting things back on track. I hope for him that he shows us his best on & off the field. If he does that, he with his team mates will go a long way to gifting all of us Roosters with another premiership, but so importantly for Blake, he will mend his reputation in a sport where he can be anything he puts his mind to. He has the ability, the strength and the aura to be one of the best. What we need to know is does he have the character.?
