Roosters declare they are $100,000 under the NRL’s salary cap

[Guest]

I am glad the club responded if anything to support us, their fans.

You can see next year.. We have already lost 4 players form the top 25. The only player signing is in our 2nd tier cap.
Upgrades to players contracts will suck up nearly all of our cap space...

the rest of the teams can go and get stuffed we coached up our teams, Cronulla and maybe manly booster theirs chemically, the dogs bought big using anz money, Brisbane always known for their racehorse payments? and so it goes!

the only way out of this for us is to sack sbw and mini at seasons end! cruel but fair on the other players?

It is a surprise that a club would go on the offensive of just talk and conjecture.

People can accuse the Roosters all they want, it just thanks to good long term investment and smart trades.

It's the brainless that can comprehend basic maths and investments and have a stab at our club because of the success.

What annoyed me was that this Roosters official did not make mention f Rothfields constant agenda against us..same shit at the same time each year. Last year it was the drug allegations.

They should have pointed that out to discredit the article.

It will get a mention in this week's Wentworth Courier.

They are on back ended deals..

Looking at the comment about losing players for 2016 season, I had a look at our current players contracts (according to erotackle who aren't 100% reliable, but normally only post contract lengths if they are sure)

1. Mini (2014)
2. Tupou (2015)
3. Jenko (2016)
4. SKD (2015)
5. RTS (2016)
6. Maloney (2015)
7. Pearce (2017)
8. JWH (2015)
9. Friend (2018)
10. Moa (2016)
11. Cordner (2016)
12. SBW (2014)
13. Guerra (2015)

14. Aubusson (2016)
15. Liu (2016)
16. Napa (2015?)
17. FPN (2015)

Others that have played First Grade; Casty (2015), Elliot (2016?), Evans (2017), Hastings (2016), L'Estrange (2014), Langi (2015?), Nene (2016?), Meehan (2016?)

Good to see so many of our players that our future will be based around locked up long term in RTS, Pearce, Cordner, Friend & Jenko.

Think the big name players that we are most at risk of losing would be likes of Tupou and/or SKD (Fergo? and Nene easy enough replacements if they leave), Maloney, JWH and FPN.

We have Evans, Liu, Meehan (I think) all wrapped up which will obviously help massively if JWH/FPN go.

As Robinson said last season after the GF we have achieved little compared to what we want to which is be a dynasty long term, which looking at that seems promising.

True but our whole team are rep players

And a couple of years ago the vast majority were wooden spooners.
