Rooster support in media

[Thirteen]

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.

Nobody hates the shit teams mate. It’s great to be hated.
They hate us cause they ain’t us!

100% correct.

[Darkone]

absolutely. seems like we are the salary cap manager kings. we've been smart. why? cos our survival depended on it. despite being vital to the establishment of league in oz, our diminishing junior base has meant we've had to be smarter than everyone else to survive. enter nick.
compare us to the broncs who have everything going for them - except recent premierships.
you look at our marquee players over the last couple of years - teddy and cronk - and they've provided value for money. guys like hunt and milford haven't. and then, as you say, we get guys who want to play for us and each other and will do so for less than they're worth.

True,

No choice but to adapt to a reduced demographic to draw from,

Has made the club lean and smart under the guidance of an astute board with Uncle Nick running point.

An Exceptional Coach and staff espousing club ethics and a winning culture where top ranked players can play for less to enjoy the experience.

the Broncos had a massive leg up through Media support, sponsorship money on tap, players nurtured from a vast geographic pool, membership that's bigger than most.

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.

Jeez it was called a quadrangle when I went to school

That's what I'd call it back in the day. What other words are there? School Yard is American isn't it?

I heard Tunksy & Hughes yesterday trying to refute all the nonsense from other fans accusations of cap rort. Tunksy being an ex Roosters Jnr and never having played for the Roosters and his father being involved in the Eastern Suburbs Jnr competition, said that in any time in his involvement with league he had never seen any illegal stuff from the Roosters. They both agreed that the club is one of the best managed club in the comp which translates to success on the field.

Other fans have to invent invent things like sombreros, or fans, trophies or that the judiciary look after us, just because they can’t admit that their club is poorly run, but for fun I like to read other forums now & then and especially what stuff they say about the Roosters and while many of them bring up all that shit, there are many that are resigned to the fact that ‘the Rorters are going to be hard to stop’ or ‘ Why can’t our management recruit that well?’ That makes me laugh!

Thats exactly it.

The comp has for a while been rife with either knee jerk decision making and panic buying/selling, or irrational management from certain clubs. I'd say social media and supporter driven sentiment has been a contributor, but also a lack of independent thinking in leadership too.

The Tigers, Bulldogs and Saints have been rife with this for years because of ridiculous archaic notions such as "he ain't a former Bulldog player so he don't understand the club". The Dogs are a prime example, where you've got the likes of Dean Pay and Jim Dymock who have been in and around the coaching staff for years as untouchables more or less, bringing no success to show for it. They've always go the board stacked with 50% ex-players too.

We are so very lucky to have Uncle Nick steering the ship with Robbo running the footy.

I dont know what Tunks was on that day you were listening to him because everytime I listen to them or ring them up they just continually allude to that the Roosters are rorting the cap. Except Pappy.

They were at it again yesterday talking about how great the Roosters blah blah because idiots ring them and bring up the sombrero issue AND yes they admit it last week that they do at times jump on that rort bandwagon but it’s usually as a joke. There is a lot of respect from Hughes & Tunksy and of course Pappy but not sure where Robbo really stands though some Roosters fan emailed him today giving it to him about tipping for the dogs last round. You’re not that slow Talkin dude that rambles on about Souffs?

“That slow talking dude that rambles on about Souths”, that is one of your best. Classic.
I think his name is Phil. There is actually 3 slow talking Souths supporters that ring in.
Robbo on talking sport is painful.

I don't want the press pushing our barrow, they are whores.

Gorden Tallis likes to go to work on the chooks . He hates everyone and everything so hes only being fair on us I guess...
He was a cheap shot merchant on the field and he's continued it off the field.....
I'm no fan of Seibold but Tallis was having a crack at him the other day because he had a university degree?
What that has got to do with anything but Tallis being Jealous is beyond me.
I can't believe they pay that clown .
i seen a guy at Suncorp bare chested rubbing his nipples on the glass of the commentary box a foot away from Tallis , mocking him overr that stupid sporstbet add..
He looked like he was going to explode it was funny as fck....

[Chook]

Whose positive opinion of us in the Rugby League sports media is really worth having? I mean really worth having??

Chook.

[Vasco]

The complements thrown at Robbo by the commentators after the Monday night game on Fox made me blush. He was very highly praised.

Tunks the bold turd Rooster hating A-Hole (despite being a Roosters junior) was also very complimentary about how well our club is run.

The turd also lives in the eastern suburbs.

Many hate us but in the media Tallis would be the most vocal. He never stops bagging us..always goes on about us being relocated as we have no fans blah blah blah...
saw him after the GF win in 2018 in a bar at Homebush and as he walked past I said in a calm manner “Go the Roosters”
he replied “**** the Roosters” and gave me a filthy look. I wasn’t expecting him to cheer or anything but for him to swear in my face and look at me like that was unbelievable....

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Dean Ritchie has been reasonable to us lately. He was saying similar things about us in relation to SBW this week on the Big Sports Breakfast. I have some restored respect for and faith in him these days. Keep up the good work son!
