Nick on Roosters Radio

[Rooster36]

Have a listen… I love this man… we need to win as many comps while he is alive as possible.. I get we have some good people to take over but none will fill the gap he leaves!

[Serenader]

No one bleeds RWB more than this man! God I love him!!!

[Rooster36]

Mentioned lodge will resign another year

[Inflictor]

What a great listen.
Sad to hear Toia had an ACL.

Always like hearing The Boss's perspective and passion about our Mighty Roosters.

Says that he and especially Joe Kelly worked very hard through negotiation for months about the New Stadium.

Getting the 25-year lease was unheralded because it's usually only 10 years. Lost out on some things they wanted but Uncle was staunch about getting the Roosters emblem up above all else.

Wouldn't even mention the scum by name but reaffirmed that it is our sacred homeground. Nick Pappas and him are actually mates. (I knew that previously but it always seems crazily ironic? especially with all the rivalry that goes on from that level down throughout the media and fans.) The book of feuds dosen't apply to the Boardrooms apparently.

Totally impressed from their Barcelona trip and is keen on emulating what they do over there as far as their academy goes.

There's a bit they got through in a short time so give it a listen.

But to finish, Cathy King is Mother Superior, JWH is a Viking Spartan, and after the team got bent by sutton against penrith, they vowed not to lose again this season. We are now 7/7.

GO EASTS

We’ll summarised… I’ve heard Cathy is the glue to this place

[Johnny Brass]

Great to hear that he yells out giving the touchies and refs heaps and records the games and watches the replays like the rest of us roosters tragics.
The steps he has left to ensure our lasting legacy long after he has gone should never be forgotten, should have a statue of the man.

Roosters supremo Nick Politis has issued a blunt message to the club’s cross-town rivals ahead of Allianz Stadium’s grand opening on Friday — “it’s our home, not their home”.

Speaking on the Roosters’ podcast, Politis explained the Tricolours should have exclusive access to the new state-of-the-art ground.

“I’ve heard other people say they want to play there because it’s their home,” Politis said.

“The point is we’ve been there since 1928. We started with the old sports ground and then 30 years with the old Allianz Stadium.

“Nobody else has played there. For another club to say we want to go there because it’s our home, it’s not their home.

“The Roosters are the only people that belong there. It’s our true home and it’s very sacred.”

The Roosters’ high-performance centre and football offices are situated inside Allianz Stadium and Politis made sure a sign was erected which read “home of the Sydney Roosters” when signing a 25-year deal.

“I think we all have known for some time that the Roosters regard it as their home ground and no one elses,” The Daily Telegraph’s Buzz Rothfield said on NRL360.

“Their name is on the side of the stadium, it says ‘home of the Sydney Roosters’.

“It wouldn’t be a build up to this game without some sort of drama and shots fired.”

“It was basically a charade to piss off the Roosters.”

NRL360 co-host Paul Kent also explained the backstory surrounding the “kerfuffle” which saw Souths blocked from using the ground prior to the clash.

“The whole kerfuffle over them not being able to train on the stadium, the backstory to that is they didn’t want to train on the stadium, they just did it to ruffle the Roosters feathers,” Kent said.

“It is fantastic Kenty, we should embrace it because it is one of the great rivalries in rugby league,” The Australian’s Brent Read said.

Rothfield also questioned whether the stadium drama will have any influence on the game’s outcome.

Kent conceded, in isolation, being blocked from training on a stadium will not effect a team.

But he believes the “accumulation” of incidents throughout the history of the Rabbitohs and Roosters’ rivalry creates “animosity”.

“The animosity between these two teams, which leads to the superhuman efforts we see in these games, is generated by the accumulation of all of these incidents,” Kent said.

“They sit there, and they stack on and stack on and it turns into something that becomes real.”


Then there was some more whinging from the other mob..not bothering to post that..and waste valuable space on here..

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

Great coverage of our chairman and hero.

Says a lot about their culture when all they want to do is to ruffle the Roosters' feathers. Speaks volumes without having to say anything, really.

[Bruce Pickett]

Terrific listen.
He, Gibbo, Artie and Dally have to be on Mt Roostermore.
Maybe Dave Brown for Dally.

[ism22]

Interesting how he says the 'rivalry' between us and Souffs is largely media bollocks, and that he's best mates with Pappas.

I hate Souffs but find it's mostly friendly banter that I have with Souffs supporters.

[Recky62]

I see people whining about what Uncle said …BUT…is he wrong , we been playing at the showground/ Alliance since , what, 1928 or something…where were the vermin?….Redfern oval , that’s where …ain’t our fault their home ground went to shit
