Make Roosters The Bondi Breakers

[Guest]

THE man credited with renaming Canterbury from Berries to Bulldogs has proposed an alternative name for the Sydney Roosters - Bondi Breakers.

In 1975, journalist Geoff Prenter wrote an editorial in Rugby League Week suggesting the Berries change their name to the more fearsome Bulldogs.

The following year, Canterbury management agreed and, by 1977, the Bulldogs were born. Prenter has now spoken with Roosters chairman Nick Politis about the Bondi Breakers. The Roosters board will this month discuss a suggestion by Politis about renaming the club the Bondi Roosters.

"I love the Bondi Breakers," Prenter said. "It tells the story of the area. All clubs should tell the story of their area.

"Bondi is where people go. It is the people's choice - a great tourist attraction. I don't think anyone in the eastern suburbs has a rooster running around their backyard. Council wouldn't allow it. Could you imagine roosters at Point Piper, Darling Point and Rose Bay?

"Breakers would relate to the surf and breaking tackles, breaking the opposition, breaking records."

Prenter introduced Politis to Easts secretary Ron Jones in 1975, paving the way for the first major sponsorship in league, by City Ford.

Yeah. Why don't we just change our colours to Purple and Pink, move our home stadium to Blacktown, start playing soccer, and expand the club and field a netball team in the local comp.

For ****'s sake, this shit gets worse every day.

the bondi bonkers sponsored by silhouettes for your satisfaction with short sponsors durex for further protection from those big willies of the world, the boys are resplendent in a sheer little of the shoulder rwb v number reminiscent of the days they were once a footy team, they now sport instead of numbers letters such as wa, gs, gd etc and have merged nicely with the dover heights high girls netball, now they all shave their legs for those hot training days at the sfs, otherwise it spoils the lycra look the public so demands?next week they hope to get up a game of touch if they can find some of the contracted players that have gone missing, braith is missing with half the dover heights girls, mini was last seen doing backflips in moore park, todd was sighted at a tattoo parlor at the cross with jnr jnr, nate was seen lurking near the sfs toilet block, skd gas gone walkabout, willie cant find anyone to play with, freddy keeps turning up looking lost and spaced out?ryles just wants to show off his equipment, head coach smith was looking for a bus to parramatta, fitzy keeps calling to see how they're doing, theyl be just fine for season opener, they do seem to have lost the plot though? but are looking fwd to bashing the souths mob!this must be a nightmare, cant be a dream?
