Bruce Sinclair (rugby League) - Eastern Suburbs Roosters

Eastern Suburbs Roosters

Bruce had such a strong influence at Norths that he was picked up by Easts in a surge for premierships moving forward. But what must have hurt Bruce Sinclair the most in 1990 was seeing his old team Norths finishing 3rd on the competition ladder while Easts were down the back end finishing 11th.

However during the early 1990s, the Eastern Suburbs club secured the signature of Australian Test five-eighth Brad Fittler from Penrith Panthers. The Roosters were able to build from this towards becoming a formidable team into the future.

Sinclair was a strong starter at the club for 4 years before signing a contract at the new North Queensland franchise. His work load and captain like qualities made him a stand out at the top flight level.

    Prejudices are useless. Call Los Angeles any dirty name you like—Six Suburbs in Search of a City, Paradise with a Lobotomy, anything—but the fact remains that you are already living in it before you get there.
