You think Fred69er wants us to play for Smiffy???

All good dude.

You coming down for a game this year?

How does anyone here on the chookpen know who actually first laid eyes on him? Tau Tau
How does anyone know who first sighted the young guy we signed from the NT, Forrester?

Im interested to hear what youngsters you think O'sullivan has scouted for the Roosters in the last 2 or 3 years?

Im just asking, is POS responsible for the purchase of all our Harold Mathews, SG Ball & NYC players?

I doubt he's responsible for all of them cause I don't see that as his role. PoS is more a talent scout than a mass recruiter. And as a talent scout he's doing a ripping job imo. As a support I cannot remember seeing such a talented and youthful NRL squad.

Chook.

Who has he scouted for the Roosters that has stepped up?

On Tau Tau he is from Qld & I only heard his name last year. How did he become a Rooster? Was it through POS?

You might notice there is a similar article for all teams.

Hahahahaha yes,Its been going on for weeks but ours has info from Smith post Dogs game talk...

[Guest]

They are doing the same time of preview for every team.

No way! really? If true thats scary..

Tau Tau has been here 4 years and O'Sullivan since 2008 so he obviously didn't spot him. But Tasi and JWH are both PoS.

Chook.

I don't think it's just scouting. I'd gather a good recruitment bloke would have a network of scouts who would alert him to the real good kids.

IMO it's also about getting the good kids here, that would be how I'd imagine O'Sullivans talents lie.

Basically I mean a lot of people can recognize talent, but recruiting talent is the real talent.

Lol, it's the old Gherkmeister, back as the Robster.

And I'd have liked Gheeeeeeey, as in Checccccccchin.

O'Sullivan oversees all scouting of junior talent signed to the Roosters development system. He has people like Jamie Mathiou working for him. Mathiou is his main QLD scout. I'm not sure whether that means Mathiou's job is to travel around QLD watching prospects that O'Sullivan gets word of or if he simply attends junior carnivals and reports back to O'Sullivan. Essentially POS is looking for 14-18 year olds to sign up. Therefore his best finds will be appearing around first grade now. He scouted guys like Mose, Cordner (pretty sure), Leilua and Guerra. The reason he is finally getting noticed is because his initial young finds are now on the brink of first grade. Guys like Evans, Moga, Wells, Tago, Alofa, Dumbrell and Rona.

Gee some credit to POS but the real credit should go to Smithy who has the hard job of moulding this talent and performing week to week....pending what happens....but its looking promising.

Im sure he had a fair say in the recruitment anyway.

Smith will win his first GF @ the Roosters!

I kinda wonder why we've talked Moga up so much before he's even played NRL.
He looks big + fit and no doubt has shown signs of talent, but why put the weight of expectation on the shoulders on an 18 y/o who still might play 2 more seasons of NYC?
