Makes losing that Roger bloke an easy pill to swallow.
Hey! That Roger bloke might be wanting to come back one day. Last time I heard him interviewed, he sounded very nostalgic about his time with us. He’s tired of being with losers.

James Tedesco is on the verge of signing a life contract with the Sydney Roosters.
The champion fullback will join the likes of Manly’s Kangaroos half Daly Cherry-Evans and Gold Coast Titans recruit David Fifita as the highest paid players in the NRL.
It comes a fortnight after the Roosters locked up five-eighth Luke Keary on a new three-year deal. James Tedesco will be smiling all the way to the bank. Picture: Cameron Spencer/Getty
Tedesco’s father John said: “It’s not too far off. You look at (Daly) Cherry-Evans and (Jason) Taumalolo with their lifetime contracts.
“That’s what James is looking at. That’s definitely what he wants. He loves the Roosters and everything about the club.
“(Luke) Keary, (Victor) Radley, Boyd (Cordner) and all the boys are great mates.”
The Roosters’ contract will be worth around $1.2 million-a-season. Over five years it will be close to a $6 million deal and take him through until he is 32.
The Roosters want the contract sorted by November before the Kangaroos and NSW Blues superstar can talk to other clubs.
Tedesco has a new manager after cutting ties with Isaac Moses.
“We’re just sorting out the new management agreement,” his father said.
“Then it’s a matter and having a coffee with (Roosters chairman) Nick Politis and getting it done.”
Fantastic news , as long as we have Teddy and Keary we will be competing for titles. They are top of the range consistent footballers who back their ability with an insatiable appetite for success.
Thanks Rusty for the gift that keeps on giving, best Xmas present ever from the Santa lookalike.
Thanks mate, I appreciate the kind words, don’t worry Robbo knows exactly what goes on in the chookpen, I’m in his ear all week about Joey going to hooker when Jake retires, he’s warming up to the idea, any day now.
Great news. Given his quality as a player, $1.2 million per season is very reasonable value in my opinion.
MRR or Rabid
Some people believe supporting the Roosters
is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed
with that attitude. I can assure you it is
much, much more important than that.
