I know many of us have said for a while how great Rowan has been this year. I just thought he deserved his own toast thread. In a team who has struggled for at least half the season Roma has been a shining light in most of games especially when the rest of the team has struggled.
Firstly a bit of credit to the recruiting team who have been maligned by many for going for clean skins. However what the recruiting team has shown is that picking guys who have been made to work and have the character to work through road blocks and setbacks is more important and a stronger shower of success ie , Wilkie , Parker, Sinclair, Hind, Paton.
Most importantly I think with Roma any role he has been asked to play he has shown an ability to work and develop himself to a point where he is competitive. The sky is really the limit for him. Another big pre season and he is very much a possibility to in contention for All Australian. For some perspective he is currently 3rd for average possessions, 3rd for average contested possessions, 7th for marks and 10th for hitouts.
