New Rivalry

[Guest]

Enough said.

I think our new hate must be aimed at the Saint George-Illawara Broncos. Feel free to add to the following points:

- Their fans are no better than the Bulldogs

- They have the likes of Boyd and Soward in their them

- They coached by Wayne Bennett

SO much to hate.

We'll get them next year.

Wayne Bennett eats babies.

I don't think Bennett will be there next year.

And they will be nothing.

Their purchase of Gasnier has ****ed their salary cap.

Bennett is leaving?
Yeah Gasnier... I think it is majorly dodgy how they signed him mid season. That said, look at their NYC team and Shellharbour. Both teams were dismal this season whereas the Roosters made the GF + the Jets and NYC team both finished in the top 4.

I think Smith is the right guy for us. Bag him out or whatever, but I think he is good at taking on shit teams (yes we were shit last year) and getting them into grand finals. Few coaches can say they have done that consistently...

As our younger boys improve I think we are a shot. Also, how is our salary cap looking now? Carney must be worth a million but I think we have stripped off a lot of the fat. Failed recruits like du plessis were on NRL contracts but didn't even play NRL footy.

I'm proud of the boys. My guess is that in the long run the Dragons will pay dearly for this premiership in years to come.

It won't be the long run. Their forward depth is already bad. Just look at their bench. Now they lose two of their best (Smith and Costigan) as well as Saffy.

Bennett is pissed off that they signed Gasnier without consulting him and ****ed his salary cap. Now he has won them a comp he is odds on to walk out on them. Joey even asked him about it and he hardly pledged his loyalty. Having said that, Mr Handshake has no loyalty. The reception he got in the tunnel from our people after the game when he tried to talk to them was priceless.

If he goes they may not make the eight.

The Roosters, however ......
