Finally, almost a month after the grand final took place, a journalist has publicised the thoughts of all a Roosters fans. From around the start of the 4th line:
Of course there is a rugby league link in the Nova Peris drama – apart from Nova being a keen league fan, her daughter Jessica, who is a talented runner, dates Sydney Roosters and Kiwis centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall. Jessica has long been one of her mum's greatest supporters – and this week made the point very clear on social media that she has her mum's back. While on SKD, his effort of playing 67 minutes with a busted cheekbone when the Roosters won the 2013 grand final never really got the recognition it deserved – at least it didn't get Sam Burgess-style praise. It doesn't bother the ever-modest SKD. "I'm just a bit player, mate," he said. "Sam is a star."
Danny Weidler, well done.
