An unsung hero, every team has got them. They're not flashy and they won't have a massive highlights reel on YouTube for you to watch, but each club can't do without the men listed below.
14. Roosters: Mitchell Aubusson
Probably the man most deserving of featuring on this list is Roosters stalwart Mitchell Aubusson. Heading into his 13th season at the tri-colours, Aubusson typifies the professionalism that has seen the Roosters return to the top in recent seasons.
Although he may not be the most physically gifted or imposing, it's the things that can't be expressed in terms of numbers that the Ballina Seagulls junior brings to the table. Most notably his leadership and versatility.
Aubusson is a coach's dream. He will play anywhere that the team requires, from the centres to lock, as long as there's a tangible benefit. He is also a three-time Clubman of the year and is a shining light for the young players coming through the rooster's system in terms of his professionalism and durability. Displayed by the fact that he has averaged 22 games a year over his long 12-year career.
Having been shifted from position to position under coach Trent Robinson in 2018, look for the two-time premiership winner and Roosters Mr. Fix-It to continue his role with minimal fuss and maximum effort in 2019.
Mitch Aubusson might go under the radar with opposition fans but EVERYBODY at the Sydney Roosters know that this bloke is no unsung hero.
Mitch Aubusson has been a tackling machine and a great runner of the ball for a decade or so and we at the Roosters know how vital he is to the team. A Mr Fix it with his utility skills covers 2nd row, Lock, 5/8, centre and hooker.
Has played over 260 NRL games and if he plays one more season after this year injury free then he will be the most capped Roosters of all time Minichelio holds that with 302 games, Aubo is less than 40 away from breaking that.💪🐔👍🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓🐓
It’s true and I think even the commentators have raised this on a regular basis. He’s a solid all-rounder, not an unsung hero.
Unsung hero? I’d be thinking Liu or Toops. Both get picked every week, play big minutes and have a direct impact on results. However, neither get a lot of talk.
💪🐔👍
O look it’s woodcrower, posting in the same lingo, with back to back comments……astonishing that someone can claim to have to rival clubs that “hate” each other but then posts stuff like this
Haha woodcrower. Hahahaha. Wooodcrowerback2back lol
Good one penso.
Sorry to disappoint wood but not penso. Only you do multiple logins
Despite common misconceptions, Mitch Aubusson is our least talented player and I wish I had never given him that brown paper bag.
