The Thoroughbreds was the name of the gentleman's club whose $$$ backed both Wayne and many Broncos players for a sustained period which not surprisingly brought them success.
Came crashing down (pardon the pun) when their billionaire benefactor's plane crashed somewhere in Africa killing all prospectors aboard.

Working out nicely thanks. Glad my club isn't despised by the rest of the league for stealing players and not having a junior base.

How does he get away with saying what he said? He works for a media company who pay hundreds of millions per year to broadcast the games. Without offering any evidence or any proof, he accuses a club of systematic, pre-planned cheating. The most serious allegation you can make in sport. Can you imagine if a racing journalist accused Chris Waller of drugging his horses to help them win races? With no proof? At the very least they'd be sacked by their employers, and then probably sued by Chris Waller. V'Landys or Abdo should be at the very least getting him to apologise and retract his half witted comments.Last edited by Batemans Bay Rooster; 02-28-2023, 03:20 PM.

Dosent look good for the code as a whole. When actual proof comes out (storm,dogs) it's terrible publicity.
Evidence or shut the hell up. The muckraking serves no purpose other than what I said in the other thread to pave the way for lopsided penalty counts which are cheered on by opposition fans in the moment when we play against teams who haven't made the finals in ten years.
And to lock us out of the top four.

Originally posted by Roosters1908 View PostGood for you. But you’re living in a fool’s paradise if you think there’s a single club who isn’t loathed, including yours. And probably for more legitimate reasons too than tinfoil hat accusations of cheating the cap, and for signing players who are obviously unable or unwilling to stay with their current clubs. Lucky for everyone, including us, premierships aren’t decided by popularity.

I got flashbacks at work yesterday. I'm back working in the same building I was 17 years ago and when I had left the company, I was given some book vouchers, so I had bought Shane Webcke's book purely because he grew up in the same small town as I did. I remember being really disgusted when he had made cracks in the book about the Roosters rorting the cap.
Don't know how it got published..didn't another Broncos player end up getting their book pulped before it was published also?
This thread should be make a sticky...another new season, another crack by Tallis about our cap space. It's like Groundhog Day..
