He is super arrogant too.Massively over rated. Thinks he’s Benji Marshall but no athleticism. Benji was extremely quick and agile at his peak. I really really hope the club hasn’t just signed Fulton with a view to bring him over. It’s another BJ Leilua sized bungle.
Don’t be too harsh, Anasta was worse.Luke Brooks: Hold my beer.
BwaithDon’t be too harsh, Anasta was worse.
They ‘may’ have been good signing but not on the $$$ or duration of their contracts. The constant injury of at least 3 of the 4 just further compromised the value of the signings.Mataulino was very good, when fit. Cleary signed smart. Even Packer was a smart signing. The issue was CLEARY LEAVING.
Mataulino's knee was the only thing that stopped him & he medically retired instead of holding on. Packer was ALWAYS Cleary's guy, and once Ivan left, Packer lost his way. Maguire never really clicked with him obviously & the rest is history.
Cleary's signings were not bad. Josh Reynolds, when he was on the field, was very good. What made Reynolds a bad signing? Re-signing Benji. It had to be one or the other, or let Brooks go.
Cleary had a plan. He just bailed once a better one became available.
Taylor wasn't popular, but he had zero funds & a poor squad & a core group of players with a manager that notoriously causes issues. He wasn't exciting, but he can develop & spot talent. He's also responsible for Alex Twal being a Tiger- and got some of the best out of him too.
Put a personal vendetta ahead of what was best for the team. Even when it was clear Balin was cooked he picked Dean Halatau and Elijah Taylor ahead of Farah for the shared DH role. Completely lost the respect of players at this club and others.He had the origin hooker in reserve grade, his great signing the busted Ballin in the grand stand, ET at hooker, when ET needed a rest, Rankin from wing to hooker, secondrow to centre and centre to wing to cover what would have been no interchange if Farah was playing. This bloke had absolutely no idea what he was doing, and the worst people skills of any coach ever
He can do a mean PowerPoint presentation thoughHe had the origin hooker in reserve grade, his great signing the busted Ballin in the grand stand, ET at hooker, when ET needed a rest, Rankin from wing to hooker, secondrow to centre and centre to wing to cover what would have been no interchange if Farah was playing.

I thought it would have been Gin!Luke Brooks: Hold my beer.
Same thing happened at Canberra with belemy and Elliot. Elliot got the job due to power point skillsHe can do a mean PowerPoint presentation though
Look, I agree with you.Mataulino was very good, when fit. Cleary signed smart. Even Packer was a smart signing. The issue was CLEARY LEAVING.
Mataulino's knee was the only thing that stopped him & he medically retired instead of holding on. Packer was ALWAYS Cleary's guy, and once Ivan left, Packer lost his way. Maguire never really clicked with him obviously & the rest is history.

I can see Brooks being a gin drinker.I thought it would have been Gin!
this sounds a lot like that fake whatsapp message that’s been going aroundSpeaking with a roosters friend who is in the know Joseph Suaalii is all but out the door this year uncle Nick wants him gone ASAP so maybe a few weeks left but the other bit of information I have is that Brandon Smith is off side with the whole Rooster's squad and he has a few weeks to fix everything he has done off field wrong or bye bye they want to bash the you know what out of him for what he has done to other players in the squad they are refusing to play with him
He has been a very naught boy
No mate not at all he has a problem that affects many peoplethis sounds a lot like that fake whatsapp message that’s been going around

If he does he has good taste.I can see Brooks being a gin drinker.
Yes mate it's very similar I saw him today he told me a few of the players he has borrowed off and a few of the amounts so sad he was doing the same thing in Melbourne but the players wised up to it
