Rooster support in media

[Seventy Five]

I met Hughes last year at a Xmas function and had a good chat to him ... both of us had a few..... but he was glowing in his praise of Robbo...said he couldn't see how we'd be over the cap and pretty much rattled off all the unsung players on smaller contracts much like Daley did this morning and any of us guys would. Said most players aren't even interested in talking to other clubs and have no idea if they are worth more on the market because they are happy....

Nice story, thanks for sharing. You must have been on the Red were you? Listening to the show he seems to fancy himself as a bit of a oenophile.

As for the show, Gav Robbo has the most blatant anti Rooster bias, but I find his opinions mostly irrelevant and he follows the Tigers so cant expect too much. As for the others like Ikin etc; have we simply worn them down? A case of if , "ya cant beat em, join em". Would be nice if we could bring Cummins across too.

I wonder if Freddy still has the credit card provided to him which was from Hong Kong or I wonder if Freddy still has a poker machine at Easts Leagues.

Ah, the good ol' salary cap joke.

Everyday on the playground when footy is brought up and I say anything, it's always cheats, over the salary cap, Uncle Nick buying players cars and houses. All this from the majority of Bulldogs and Dragons fans with the one Manly and Souffs fan and a few tigers fans in my group of mates. It's funny cause they'll harp on cap management when their clubs can't even manage to do balance the cap like the Roosters. Reeks of bitterness which is a testament to the club hiring the right people and being smart with recruitment.

You need to find new mates!

Haha, yeah although to be fair, I do have my fair share of roosters fans at school.

How many times have you repeated to still be at school?
Its only since I’ve been an adult that discussions of salary cap have come up. When I was at school we had our favourite players at the Roosters but no one was discussing salary cap, Nick, cars & houses. You post like an adult but you keep saying your a school boy.
You would still be playing footy then if your at school yes?

I haven't repeated, just talking recent experiences (yr10 onwards) I'm in year 12 btw.

Hughes and Tunks were very strong in their support for us after the GF last year when most other media morons were on the Canberra was robbed bandwagon. They have a dig here and there but its light hearted stuff; when its time to be serious they're very fair and seem to have a lot of respect for Robbo, Uncle and the Roosters. I enjoy the show.

Agree.

Do you play Rugby League?

Do you play Rugby League?

No, I do not. Although I've played with mates during sport. I did play 5 years of park soccer when I was younger but stopped.

What got you into the Chooks?

What got you into the Chooks?

My mum got me into the Roosters and rugby league in general as she was a supporter of the Roosters.

Your mums a good lady.

[RoosterBoi]

Your mums a good lady.

She definitely made the right choice in supporting the Roosters.

Everyday on the playground when footy is brought up...

I stopped referring to the ‘playground’ when I was 12 not 17

Damn, didn't have to go in on that, I mean I only called it 'playground' cause the name is drilled in by teachers at school everyday.
