JWH, the heart and soul of the Roosters. I'm trying to think of a better prop at the Roosters since Arthur Beetson than JWH. Any suggestions?

Dallas Hood? Charlie Tonga? Tom Arber?

On a serious note, he's one of the best we've had. It took him a while to fully recover from his knee op and there were critics and fans saying all season that our pack weren't up to it but he has got better as the season wore on.I can't think of too many better then him in the RWB.

Only Ayliffe is in the same ballpark and JWH is miles better.

JWH is my favourite Rooster of the Robbo era.

He's charismatic and bleeds RWB. And on the field he's an animal - a genuine enforcer similar to Adrian Morley.

The stats speak for themselves- we won 13 or 14 straight with JWH playing to end the season.

Best prop forward in the world.

I normally wont blow my own trumpet but before the 2018 season began I felt and posted here that Jared would return to his best form this year.....

He even surpassed my prediction tbh.

I echo Tommy Smiths post, he is the best prop in the world and the best prop we have had by far since Artie.......

My favourite current Rooster and now just behind Fitzy as my favourite Rooster of all time.....

I agree he is the best. Bit slow at the start of the year (and since his injury TBH) but now back to his 2015 form. I wouldn't swap him for anyone.

Don’t forget the great Salvo. He played is a crap side too.

I liked Lowrie too. But none of them come close to JWH.

I was a big fan of Captain Royce, but as you said, JWH is ahead.
I'd have JWH and Morley as the best two since Artie.

Imagine them together in the same team. Brutal! With Ricko at lock, and Napa, Radley & Crocker on the bench.

The opposition wouldn't survive the game. We'd probably finish the game with 11 or 12 men too

We've been blessed with so many amazing players this past 20 years.

I count Morley as a second-rower and I don't think he will ever be replaced as my all-time favourite.

Lowrie's bookend mate Terry Hermansson went well too.

I dont think any prop, in the history of our club, could match the full on intensity and heart of JWH..

Yep. What I love about JWH is the completeness of his game.

He's our pack leader
Has a big heart
Tough & aggressive
A big motor
A metre eater
Has an offload (good, not great)
And he's a brilliant defender
Oh and a ****ing great bloke who's awesome with the fans

The dude is just a beast in the middle of the field for us and when at his best he must be awesome to follow.

I can still remember his hit on Gidley in Newcastle 2015. It was around the time he trampled over half a dozen Eels defenders to score a try. He was at his monstrous peak then and I'd never seen a prop play better.

Such a shame he copped that ACL to derail our season but full credit to the man for getting back to his dominant best.

Yeah he played a lot of 2nd row, I guess I consider him more as a prop coz he played frontrow when we won the GF.

His revenge hit on that Villasanti was a classic.

Lowrie's bookend mate Terry Hermansson went well too.

We used to call them "The Hermo and Lowrie Show".

It's amazing we didn't win a comp in the Gould era.
