News Luke Keary to Retire

[bradyk]

Roosters gunna have millions in their cap to spend next year fkn no JWH, Keary, Manu and Sua’ali’i. Who would be their targets?

There isn't really anyone off contract (big marquees in key roles). They'll need a centre until Manu's back but I don't think that'll be for long. Alamoti, Gagai (already heard them linked with him) and Iro a few centres off contract. Even with their losses outside centre (and probably have a reserve grader I don't know about that could decent job) they have a strong 17. I think they'll backflip and keep Crichton on his current form too.

I hope the roosters miss the top 8, that will be the ultimate send off for their players leaving the club

 

[The_Chimpster]

Was one of the best players in his position for quite sometime which is no mean feat.

All the best post footy

 

[The DoggFather]

Has anyone mentioned what happened the last time a roosters 5/8th retired?

 

[Sloth]

Wouldn’t be surprised if Lachlan Ilias went to the Roosters, especially with Braith as his manager and South granting a release

 

[XR6T]

I need to retire as well.
I get a concussion when I fall off the couch every time Hutchinson has the ball in his hands...

Mate you should wear headgear when your watching us play. But no because they say that head gear is of no use.

Still a top 8 team, they might have to upgrade some of those players

They’re gonna try and buy xerri, you watch.

Xerri will be a dog for the rest of his career.

All the best Luke , hope your retirement is long and healthy, Another great Queenslander.

Right up there with other QLD greats like Peter Sterling.

Probably not in sterlos league but up there for sure.

Hope you are right mate, I'm liking his progression and he is now back where he belongs.
Big shoes to fill but he could be our Jmoz of the 2020s and with the added benefit of pure pace.

 

[Indiandog]

what a player.

very under rated.

all the best for the life after footy champ.

 

[Wahesh]

With all these Chooks leaving at the end of the year, watch Uncle Nick go to work on the recruitment front.

Not as good as the NSW great Greg Inglis.
