Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) — It was an honour and privilege to attend the 2020 Roosters NRL Season launch. The event was a great opportunity to reflect on seasons gone by, in particular winning the back to back premierships in 2018 and 2019, and a chance to build the excitement for everything to come this year. As a fifth generation Bronte-ite, and great grandniece to Gordon Benjamin Favell, rooster number 241 - part of the 1935 Premiership winning team - being a proud Roosters support is in my DNA. The launch was a true celebration of all things Roosters, including the induction of Cooper Cronk as a life member to the club after two brilliant seasons and in recognition of the critical and important role he has played in the club's recent history. I want to wish the Roosters the best of luck for this upcoming season, by saying; "Here come the Roosters, the best we've ever seen. The Red, White and Bluesters, the Eastern Suburbs Team!" Up the Roosters!
