I was curious how many players the Roosters had in their top 30. Looked it up and atm only 21. Wonder if they might go after some of ours that are only on 1 year deals 🤔

They have to have at least 24 according to nrl rules. So a minimum of 3 missing from your list, perhaps more?
Blake Steep is the only name I don't see that should be there. I think there is a 2nd Va'a as well.
Moriarty another.

Missing Rodwell, Moriarty, and the second Va'a. Fairly sure May counts as one of their top 30 if they want him to aswell.

I watched Blake Steep this year and believe he is going to have a long NRL career , If he can stay injury free.
A young backrower that I would like to see in the Tigers colours.
But as we all know Uncle Nic won’t let this one go anywhere
Unfortunately.

I value him that high because I put a premium on hole running . As simple as running between 2 players is as a concept , far fewer players actually can do it consistently . Some can’t at all , I think , and this is just my opinion , but because a lot of them were the massive unit coming up that just ran over people .
For reference that’s exactly what Joe Ofahengue was , and now I watch him get dominated in tackles a lot .
And Garner is really good at it . But as others have said he isn’t going to bump players off and go flying so I’m probably alone in that value , but I guess it’s why my favourite player as a kid was Steve Menzies . To me that was the prototype second rower .
One day there will be a player who can hit a hole , run over people , and take dirty hitups all day . That kid is going to be worth a lot of money .

Hole runners generally need a player who can create a hole .....been a while since we had a player who had been able to create a hole

Junior Pauga must have improved out of sight he used to have hands like feet.

He can’t hold the rule book long enough with his flipper hands to read it.

His defence was the bigger issue.
Made a real go of it over at Roostertown

Got no one to run into them though. There’s only Sam, and there’s no guarantee they play on the same side of the field.

They do though, Sam runs down the same edge
as Luai. The left, quick play the ball from Terrell &
it's raids on that side all day. Add Tiny too & Turuva
outside them. Right edge is the big question mark...

I recall him missing 9 tackles in one game...I was astonished the Roosters cld develop him at his age
I didnt see anything worth persevering with

Damn that right edge powerhouse second rower the missing Christmas present wasn't under the tree hopefully we find him in the new year the missing piece on the board.

Honestly, we may have 2 split them up the more I
think about it, not quite sure yet man. If anything
4 the sake of having our own style of play & showing
a different hand/schemes in attack. No point picking
a starting XIII at the moment if we're all being honest

I think/hope we get a late Xmas gift under the tree
that fell from the branches in the Xmas break lmao

Same size and ability as sam would be sensational.

I think Seyfarth will do a reasonable job maybe Sukkar given time.
