Is there going to be a major announcement next week?

[Guest]

I keep hearing SBW to Parra.... Admittedly from parra fans who think they have inside info but I don't really care for him

+1 I don't want any Khoder Nasser influence anywhere near the club.

What that wasnt clear enough? I said I dont believe anything will be announced. Thats is, I doubt you'll hear anything.

Please elaborate some more.

I don't mind him.

If we don't sign any big names for 2012...2013 could be our massive buying spree.
With Ryles/Myles/Anasta/Mini/Carney all going for the 2013 season, plus the new TV deal..heres hoping anyway.

2 problems with that 85. The cap is up for everyone so all clubs will be getting rid of dead wood and looking at what stars are on the market. But more importantly, Brian Smith is not a coach who attracts players. In fact, just the opposite. We are no longer a club that players jump at the chance to sign with.

apparently to play him in 012 we have to pay the dos 200k, thats a lot of filaful for a 3 minute player who carnt outrun skid?

Yeah I know, but is there any other club that has gotten rid of the money those 5 would have attracted, and not signed ANY big names?

You're a handsome devil.

What about me mad rooster, I think I could be right up your alley.

Maybe not but I think the Smith factor negates that. Im not saying I think Smith is the main factor in our performance. I just keep hearing about his coaching style being very draining on players. Maybe thats why Elliot is there though.

[Guest]

The only major announcement i want to see is,

"Sydney Roosters are proud to announce that our pack is full of massive hitting monsters,whose fitness has improved massively.."

"The club also says the improved maturity,and gargantuan hunger to inflict the maximum amount of pain on opposition packs,has been clearly observed by the coaching staff.."

"These boys have all morphed into men..Men on a mission to inflict destruction through the competion,with furious intent that will shake the country to it's foundations"..

Coach Smith could only comment to waiting press "I can assure you boys that is not a gun in my pants"..
