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.
8. Knights: Aiden Guerra
Having switched the glitz and glamour of Bondi for the more laid back Newcastle, Aiden Guerra had one of his finest seasons to date in 2019. Having taken home both the Coaches Award and Gladiator Award at the annual Danny Buderus Medal night.
Guerra was signed by coach Nathan Brown to be a leader for the Knights young and inexperienced forward pack, but he proved to be an asset for his performances not just his leadership in 2018.
Having played every game for the Knights in 2018, Guerra was an absolute workhorse, being equally adept on the edge or in the middle at lock. The Townsville Brothers junior was a rock for the Knights pack, putting up an extremely impressive 40 tackles per game at a 90% efficiency rate, as well as 99 running metres per game.
The former Queensland State of Origin representative has two years remaining on his initial three-year deal with the Knights and will have a big role to play for Nathan Brown in helping his young forward pack transition into the dominant force they have the potential to be.
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.
