Tallis accuses Roosters of cheating the cap

[Headless Chook]

Which premierships do you count? The Eastern Suburbs ones, the Sydney city one or the Sydney ones?? South Sydney has always been south Sydney.

All of them! And 6 in my lifetime. How many have you been alive to see?

Not everyone's a daft bint. Below is a post from a bloke called The Barry who is a Doggies supporter (this was from a different sports forum):

That’s not true though. Below are the Roosters player losses and gains over the past five years. There’s a clear pattern that they release 6 or 7 mid to high tier players and sign a couple of stars

They fill the other positions with rookies on minimum contracts coming through. This is exactly what the Storm have done for many years

They haven’t been very active in bringing new players to the club at all over the past three seasons but have released a lot of top tier talent. Their outs have definitely outweighed their ins

I have no desire to defend the Roosters but there’s so much baseless garbage floating around when the real info is a couple of clicks away. The maths definitely adds up

They’ve lost players like SST, Cordner, Friend, Cronk, Napa, Mitchell, Pearce, Guerra, Sean Kenny-Dowell who were all highly paid players and still at or near their peak. They don’t over pay for mid tier players or over commit based on loyalty like most clubs do

The pattern goes on before that too. The Roosters – along with the Storm – are far better at managing their cap than the rest of us. It’s sour grapes to constantly be banging on about ch.eating

He's a good bloke, The Barry is.

F**K Tallis , he couldnt do the math to verify his babbling idiotic comments , doesnt help when you got fkn Rothfield on 360 pulling out the spreadsheets and then proving nothing

The username should answer that for you.

Good chance the Roosters & Souths being in the GF.
At the end of the day both the Chooks & your mob are powerhouse clubs with very rich men associated with them but the Chooks have been heaps more successful since the NRL has been introduced.
Its good for Rugby League to have both clubs firing & personally I can’t wait for rd 3.
Go the Mighty Roosters.

What a great comeback. FFS

We've been in the comp longer than any other team.

that's a cracker

[ShadowCaster]

I don't usually toy with infiltrators but can't resist putting you in place with actual facts.
1 premiership in 50 years is totally unsatisfactory and massively underwhelming.
Your mob won the majority of their premierships when at the time it was awarded to the team first past the post (ala the EPL, just in case you can't make out that saying bc you're young and stoopid).
Also to put further perspective to your team's ineptness, all your premierships up until 2014 were played under a competition with a mere 10 to 12 teams .
Add that to your book of fools?

Oh dear I am in my place now. We play the game with pride both on and off the field and don't treat other clubs as breeding grounds for poached players. You are the only constantly questioned for playing the business game in a shady way. Your club is the reason so many other clubs struggle and have to pay out the arse for players. It's not just who you buy, but also who make impossible to keep.

[ShadowCaster]

Souths fans make me laugh, yes 60, 70 and 80 years ago the team were successful and won plenty. Since the introduction of the National Rugby League all they have is the 2014 premiership which was almost a decade ago now and the World Club Challenge.

Roosters? 4 premierships, 5 minor premierships, 4 World Club Challenges and a whopping 8 grand final appearances.

All done while poaching the games best and having stacked teams. So you bloody should have those accolades. Tbh with your sombrero you should have done a little more.

[ShadowCaster]

Except for 2000 and 2001. If not for the generous big brother roosters bailing them out, probably wouldn’t have been seen again.

every year, every season.

Only one team can put claim to that.

Only because we refused to merge or change our name.

you want a claim, the only team to beat your mob 60-8? Its put a deadset hoodoo on you blokes.

[ShadowCaster]

All of them! And 6 in my lifetime. How many have you been alive to see?

Just the one with a team full of local products and NRL debutants that came through Souths.

Aaayyyyeeeee, love this. This is what rivalry is about. Agreed your club has been more successful in the NRL era, buoyed by your owners love of rugby league.

SSTIFD!

There is something very "try hard" about spending your time on another club's fan forum. As I'm sure deep down you're aware.

[theGman]

Oh dear I am in my place now.

Thank you for the acknowledgement and don't you ever forget those facts.
Discuss it amongst the ignoramuses in The Burrow.

PS. Rusty doesn't do cheque book rugby league....LOL

[theGman]

Oh yeah like.. Burgess x 3 and GI.
Without them you wouldn't have gone close to winning.

[Headless Chook]

Didn't realise GI was from Redfern and certainly had no idea that Lote Tuqiri and the Burgess brothers grew up out that way. Ben Teo, another fantastic local product...think he came out of Lapa didn't he?

Anyway, would rather see 6 in a lifetime than 1 every 60 years regardless of where the players came from
