In 2012 just, give me a team that will play their guts out each and every game with a sense of pride and loyalty. Regardless of results, I would like my daughter to know that through hard work and dedication good things can happen.

Well said mate.

That's what separates the succesful teams from those just making up the numbers.

Teams like the Donkeys, Manly, Stains and Melbourne. All their players - especially the nuffies - put in 100% each week.

Yes, well said Platinum, I'd like that too yet I wonder if it's too much to ask for from the Roosters. Additionally I'd like to see the team improve as the season goes on and out of the papers for the wrong reasons. Silly me being so demanding.

Good post!
I could cop losing if I knew that the players were 100% committed to the club, each other and the fans!!

I concur wholeheartedly with the sentiment.

That is why I could not hate Brett Finch as vehemently as some, he tried his best. The fact that it was so substandard and below the NRL level was beside he point.

Agree 100% - my kid came home from school today devastated that once again her hero is in the news for all the wrong reasons.......sadly the old story of too much coin and too much time on their hands.
Seriously - what kind of knuckleheads are at the pub at 2am on monday night?

[RooSta]

Yeah I agree 100 %
And it's true and some ppl on here want mini gone but he's one of these guys that will put he's blood n guts on the line for the roosters jersey

PC your words are the best I've heard in years. Welcome to the pen!

The problem is that the only time a team is recognised as giving 100% is when they win games. Whilst I agree with the sentiment effort will only keep the fans happy for so long. It is results that matter.

Look at Parra, how many games have they lost by a whisker but that don't count one iota.

I would like to not see the team in the paper for anything but their on field behaviour.....

He's had his moments of bad publicity too, but it didn't affect his game. That has happened because of injuries.
I don't care if we lose close games, or get the spoon as long as they are giving it their all like most of the fans do.
(Well, I do, but I will accept it and cope with it).

I've supported the Roosters through thick, and thin for over 45 years.
I've always believed in the adage that "things dont just happen, people make them happen"
Lets hope that in 2012 they are positive things.
Good post, stay positive.

Ask one of your mates who support Parra which team they would rather follow. A 'Death or Glory' team, or one that should be near top 4 on paper, yet somehow is 2nd last.
