Saw a comedian on the alleged comedy show The Professor last week play up to the audience, yelling 'how the hell can the Roosters afford Tedesco AND Cronk?' Notice too, that our club is the only one constantly referred to by the media as 'star-studded' (even though we only have ONE current Australian international in our ranks). The fact is there have been deliberate, massive breaches over the years by the likes of Canterbury, Melbourne, The Warriors, more recently Parramatta and Manly, and now allegedly Cronulla. That is nearly half the teams in the competition! Go through the minor breaches (largely account-keeping errors) and the Roosters still finish among the also-rans on that list! I wonder whether reality will ever hit the blinkered conspiracy theorists and they will just have a look at the way the club operates, signing young and developing, and letting players go they can't afford to keep. (Hope Cronulla enjoyed having their premiership steered by James Maloney! Hope the Warriors are enjoying the sight of RTS stepping his way through opposition defences! Hope the Knights are enjoying winning a few games for a change! Hope Parra are enjoying Kane Evans.....well, can't win 'em all). But facts matter little to those blinkered by jealousy and hatred. The Roosters a few years back were the ONLY club honest enough to stand up in a meeting and say that the salary cap needed to be drastically raised. Of course, they were severely criticized for it, but some clubs are so poorly run it wouldn't matter how much the cap was!
