James Aubusson: Why I walked away from the NRL

[Rooster_Luke]

I believe he has not retired from rugby league, just the NRL, I am sure he has signed as captain coach of Goulburn Workers, footy club, good luck to him and his new wife, lets hope he can get some injury free footy under his belt.

Burnt Rooster.

Correct... He has signed as the captain/coach for the Goulburn Workers. As he admitted, he was never going to be a super star however i think we was a better talent than he gives himself credit for! Good luck to him and his family for their future

When he got a few starts at the Storm when Smith was off he was outstanding. As far as I remember, he only had 1 outstanding game for us and a couple of alright games. Wasn't terrible.

He was an out and out halfback playing hooker

We should have made more of an effort to keep him. Watts isn't going to play for a few months and we've now had to sign Piggy Riddell to cover his injury.

I can't see Piggy playing in the halves during origin and I would have happily stuck Jaubs there with Anasta and Friend still at hooker during that time.

Still, couldn't have predicted all of that in September when decisions were being made.

Sad to see him go, I think he will regret his decision to leave the NRL!

The Roosters won't regret it too much.
