BIGGEST SIGNINGS IN ROOSTERS HISTORY

ARTHUR BEETSON (1971)

Revered as a fine ball-playing forward, Beetson led the Roosters to 1974 and 1975 titles.

RON COOTE (1972)

Controversially defected from Souths in 1972, led Roosters to first grand final in 12 years.

RUSSELL FAIRFAX (1974)

A teen Wallaby attacking star, Fairfax’s arrival from Randwick was last piece in title puzzle.

BOB FULTON (1977)

Didn’t win a premiership but lived up to the hype as Roosters’ top try-scorer first-up.

BRAD FITTLER (1996)

Perhaps had biggest influence, leading them to finals for first time in almost 10 years.

SONNY BILL WILLIAMS (2013)

Return to rugby league saw Williams crowned club’s player of the year after grand final win.
