Roosters Jersey, signatures ? year ?

[Easts75]

Hey Guys, My father in law passed away quiye a while ago and just getting around to sorting his stuff. He was a Roosters fan and had this jersey packed away. Anyone recognise the year ,players signatures etc ? There is no paperwork with it etc but might just.put it on ebay and take anything for it, or if anyone here collects them hit me up. Thanks guys..sorry if the pics are no good.

Think we wore it from 2006 to 2008.

Wihtout looking to deeply it looks like M Pearce bottom left hand corner and SKD centre at the bottom and maybe Ben Jones just left of it.

Brings back some painful memories of 06 and 07. I imagine it would be worth more if you could prove it was from 08.... a Freddy signature would make it a real collectors item.

The end to that 08 season was such a good time to be a Roosters fan.

Freddy was coach though and '08 was pretty ordinary?

You'd be stuck with Setaimata Sa, Cherro, Braith, Pyles, Mason, O'Meley, Jaubs...etc. Pity because guys like Mini and Fitzgibbon deserved better.

Then there was 2009. 100 Years of Easts... oooh yeah, I've got that jersey!!! Worst season ever.

Sorry you are right, I'm thinking of 2007. The ride into the finals with Freddy. That was awesome.

08 wasn't that bad... Freddy just lost the playing group at some point after the origin series and we fell away. Up until that point we were flying and having a bit of a laugh.

shirt would be from 2006. Because 2007/2008 we had 100 years logos. But the signatures come after 2006. As said above, SKDsy and Pearce's are prominent, and ima pretty sure that is Ogre's directly beneath the second S of samsung.

also, second one beneath the A looks like Freddy's sig. I'll try uploading copies of signatures soon to show example signatures

Freddy admitted that he got caught up in the press around 2008 when they kept saying we scored all our tries off kicks and they started going away from what had been working. The semi loss against Brisbane was the toughest one to take, leading comfortably at half time and then losing the plot in the 2nd half.

2007 we beat Melbourne on a Friday night, then we had the golden point win over Wests and the draw with the Warriors where Myles dropped the ball with 2 mins to go and us up by 1. We then blew our chance against the Titans before towelling the Bunnies in the final game. That was the infamous 'you're off your head' moment
