I thought James Packer was a Roosters supporter

People like Packer care about one thing. He'd sponsor the Nazi party if it meant he was going to make money.

This.

Chook.

Packer Jr I think is just easily starstruck. Followed Tom Cruise to Scientolgy, now has followed Phone Chucker to the vermin. Suppose if Hugh Jackman invited him out, he'd be all over Manly too.

But the bottom line is as Greedy said above ...he just supports wealth.

money above all else, packer wouldnt know what a football felt like?

This has nothing to do with Souths... its all about one-up-manship over The Star in a two fold bid by Packer to be granted a license in Sydney and/or increase his stake in Echo (Owners of Star).
The good community citizen steps in to help the battlers.... PR PR PR

...and to think 3 or 4 years ago Rusty banned poker machines from Souffs Leagues club, because the gambling dollar was a blight on the community & footy teams should find other streams of income.
I guess when push comes to shove, cheque book rugby league, and the gambling dollar are actually ok ?

This is for Jamie Packer. Change Steve McQueen for Rusty Crowe.

It just goes to show, it doesn't matter how much money you have - you can't buy class.

Stuff Packer and stuff his high rollers casino.

I was under the impression that he followed us.

Yep fark them both Bondi Spy and morons on here want to bag uncle Nick you won't find a more loyal Rooster than him.

Nobody loves or has done more for Easts more than Nick. Another bloke who bleeds 3 colours is Mark McInness. He was on the board at the same time as Packer .

Interesting that Souths moved to ban pokies, but have now had sponsorship from the Star and Crown.
