Media Conference at 3pm

[Guest]

Saw this on twitter.

@crowdiegal#NRL Not sure what its about but the Roosters are to hold a media conference at 3pm

Anyone know anything? Hopefully it isn't bad.

We are boycotting the 2011 season in protest of the farcical refereeing for the past 4 or 5 seasons.

I hope that Steggles will still kick in $818,000 and this isn't about refs.

I am tipping that this is what will happen, i hope so, it will out shine the dragons win and we will be known as the Good guys

Like I said in the Steggles thread, how much money have the Dragons raised this year??

Roosters: $409,000
Dragons: $0

Most Roosters press conferences in the past have not been good news.

Hopefully this one will be different.

No, they have a St George Foundation that raised a few hundred thousand.

Big difference, the St George foundation is a division of St george bank not the Dragons.

The St.George Foundation runs their own events and leverages off the sponsorship to get players to visit events and will collect at dragons home games.

Where as the Charity nest is directly related to our results, the players are part of the gains to charity.

Boycotting the 2011 season won't do us any good, they'd never let us back in.

I do hope it's about refereeing ... and that we scream long and loud about being 'robbed' in the Grand FInal and in nearly every other game we've played in the last 5 years.

11-3 penalty counts against us ...and most penalty counts 2 to 1 ratio against us.

It's the "Roosters tax" you know.
...where we have to be twice as good as the other team to win a match.

That's what I mean, Thanks mate!

The $409,000 we donated are a direct result of our results this year.

As long as it isn't about any players doing stupid drunken things I'm happy.

You would have heard about it from the media by now if that was the case.

I'd say they'll be doubling the charity nest.

[Hawkeye]

The extra Steggles $400,000 will be donated to the NRL as part of a warchest to pay Mark Gasnier and keep him in Rugby League
