I turned up to Roosters, and the first day of training was COVID.

Oh, wow.

Met all the boys and went, rightio, see you later.

See you in six months.

No, no.

They'd won the comp in 16, so I think any of that kind of stuff had well and truly gone by that stage.

Yeah, like I said, it was girls last year, so we enjoyed that and we had a good trip away to Bali at the end of the year after that too.

Yeah, like I turned up at the Roosters and, like, I was a senior player at the Dogs, senior player at the Sharkies, but I get there and they've got Jared, they've got Mitch Orbison, Brett, Boyd Corden, a Jake friend.

Tedesco.

Yeah.

Yeah, I loved it, you know, and we were probably pretty unlucky for those two years that I was there.

They had a horror run with injuries.

Mm-hmm.

And, like, I remember being 21, we were up in the COVID bubble.

I think we had about three players left by the end of the year that could actually play.

Like, that's how bad the injury toll was.

They obviously lost Boydie, Jake Friend, both to concussions.

Brett did his knee in 21, so we lost him as well.

But in terms of that club, I'd come into 20 when they'd come off back-to-back premiership wins and the standard of training was unbelievable.

Really was it?
