Tallis accuses Roosters of cheating the cap

[ShadowCaster]

Seriously? You absolute nonce! Your
maggot ridden, shite hole of a club took most of our junior teams- and yet we’ve STILL won 6 premierships to your pathetic 1 in the last 40 years. Hahahaha
”In your shadow”??? What a joke. soufs are nothing more than a skid mark on the undies of Sydney rugby league.
If it wasn’t for old Rusty’s $$$, you’d still be languishing in NSW cup as NRL wannabes.
Juniors??- Quite a few English and QLD acquisitions in the vermin of late lol….still, must be nice being the perpetual CHOKERS every year.
Why are you even in this forum you complete twat?
Wouldn’t your time be better spent learning how to read and write, along with the rest of the illiterate, toothless dole bludging ,vermin supporting peasants ??

Hardly a skid mark. What were your membership number again??

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.

Actually our club and chairman are the reason your club still has a place in the competition. If we were as ruthless as you claim then we would have just let you dissolve and then claim back our junior area and add yours into it as well.

The difference is our club doesn’t see itself as bigger than the game.

Never forget that South Sydney only exist today because of Nick Politis. A bit of appreciation and respect on your part wouldn’t go astray.

The Roosters are the benchmark for player welfare, both during and post career. That’s the reason players come here.

It’s up to South Sydney and others to raise themselves to compete with our standards not try to drag us down to yours.

Mods, delete this ShadowCaster fellow. I respect his ambition to learn literacy by joining up on the Chooks forum to take back some knowledge to the Warren but there are books and Youtube videos for that kind of stuff now.

To my fellow Easts lads, stop giving him a reaction. We know how shite Souffs are as a club, they know it aswell. We don't need to blow a gasket over some bloke coming on here.

Leave him here I say. Bit of harmless banter doesn’t hurt and if he’s replying to posts it keeps him busy and probably saves one less B&E in the eastern suburbs today.

You may not have learned this lesson about life yet, but “popular” does not mean “better”.

I mean, Andre Reiue and Celine Dion are popular. Miles Davis and Tom Waits less so.

The latter two are undeniably the greater contributors to the human experience.

HOW DOGS MISSED PREMIERSHIP STAR


So what happened to the rumours that swept the game a couple of weeks ago that Spencer Leniu was a done deal at the Bulldogs?

In the end, the Bulldogs pulled their offer for the Penrith juggernaut and the Panthers realised they couldn't keep him for the money he was asking.

That left the Roosters as the only horse in the race, and Leniu signed for around $520,000 per season on the books.

The Bulldogs were never confident they would get the big forward - so much so that supremo Phil Gould never even spoke to him or his manager, leaving negotiations with coach Cameron Ciraldo.

Ciraldo could tell Leniu was keener on the Roosters - and that's when he withdrew his offer.

Without giving too much fuel to the Souffs bloke and the media in general, I do find it infuriating that we get accused of "poaching" or "stealing" players. It's very ironic that a foundation club that has given the most to Australian rugby league that has had almost its entire geographical catchment get handed to other, less successful clubs over the years, gets accused of poaching.

Then rather than pack it in and merge or exit the comp like lesser clubs, we have future-proofed our franchise by becoming the best in class in terms of player recruitment (both in lower grades and NRL), culture and performance.

I assume these fools that accuse of poaching and rorting the cap want to compare other clubs like Brisbane, Penriff, Canberra, Cowboys to Easts.

So basically they expect the same amount of quality/talent to come out of 2-3 affluent suburbs in Eastern Syd that comes out of the entirety of Queensland or Western Sydney or Canberra/Southern NSW. Then the one's that do come out of those affluent Eastern suburbs every so often get claimed by a team representing the South of Sydney.

Get real and get better...

Since the advent of professional sport the better players have always wanted to play for the better teams and that will never change, it's human nature.

[Headless Chook]

A lot of these aren't particularly valid, George Burgess for example played youth internationals for England before Souths even signed him, he's a local product of whoever developed him before that, Api was playing in Bankstown league, Sam Burgess played almost 100 league games professionally and was a regular in the national team before Souths signed him, Keary was developed in QLD and did just a one season stint in the Souths youth team, Kyle Turner did most of his junior football 6 hours from Redfern, Tom Burgess had played like 2 seasons as a professional before signing up with Souths, he isn't a Souths junior.

They did have a lot of players in that squad who debuted at Souths which is great but you're misrepresenting how many of them were genuine Souths juniors, from memory a majority of the Roosters grand final sides have featured players who debuted at the Roosters as well.

Let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Every club that can afford it cheats the cap.
does everyone think clubs only bend the rules on the field .

Excellent post NR!

[Bruce Pickett]

Great data Brucey. Kind of smacks down the usual bleatings on other fan sites about us being cheats.

Right on, coach!

[Bruce Pickett]

I'm related to him, that's why..we breed them smart in my family.

Although he is a Berries supporter. Nobody's perfect I guess.
