that’s BS man sorry to say you don’t think something suss is going on? every single player legit takes ‘unders’ to stay at the Roosters. It’s shady as man, Joseph Manu got offered 1m a season to play fullback by the Warriors but stayed at Easts for ‘250K less’ I don’t disagree that they are a well run club but dodgy stuff is going on over there with Politis promising jobs after footy but take unders while you’re here playing for us, golf games, buying players Rolex’s… lots of shady stuff going on over there

Harry wanted to throw the keys at the club and take it all over lock, stock the lot but there was too much crap going on behind the scenes and he upped and left from what I remember.....

Every club does shady shit - Including ours....
I can remember at least twice we've been done for cap stuff...

And cry me a river about 'promises' of jobs after footy... Furthermore, Name me a club that hasn't got someone who got a job 'After Footy' (I can think of at least one at every club without even thinking)
You really think a player takes a watch instead of cash?? It's not a farmers market 😂😂😂

You might not be old enough, But I remember countless interviews with Benji back in the day about how he knocked back more money to stay with the Tigers - And we're rubbish for the most part....
Munster, Latrell just did the exact same thing to us... Moses likely to do the same, Harry Grant did it....
Ponga - It happens,.... I've done it myself in my game...

One thing you might not know about the Roosters, Is how they help players away from the field to manage the money they're making...
Like I said, They have brains on the board and influential people - Who know a thing or 2 about the real world... - We've got clapped out old Magpies fans, Who don't know shit about much at all....

Get as Salty as you like - If it were us, You'd be doing cartwheels.....
Don't make out like it's some moral quandary.

This is how it is done. Have a listen to the Bye Round podcast with Jimmy Graham and Mark Bouris.
They get the players to have sit downs with highly successful business people who can help/advise on making the most of their money during and after footy. They may take 250k under but it will work out to be much more fruitful with successful investments.

That's just how real coaches and real clubs get it done....

Look at the Roosters board, The influence and contacts they would have...
Look at their track record and their coach - The Squad.
That's how they get it done....

We've got one of the richest men in Australia and one of the biggest property developers
in Australia as a backer of sorts....
Can't get him to part with a coat hanger.

Everyone gets salty at them, But I just wish we could take heed from the way they do things....
And wish we had a party as invested in our club as Politis is in the Roosters.

We're just not structured for success, nobody in their right mind will fund our future success under these circumstances.
 
Dom Young's got promise, I don't know that he's consistent enough. There are probably at least 10 better wingers in the comp.

I sort of think the same about their recruitment of Brandon Smith. Verrills was a pretty good hooker, and Smith's huge intensity play usually results in stints on the sidelines and he's a bit up and down.

To be fair I haven't really paid attention to this kid....
However I get a bit of a Jason Saab vibe about him....run hard but only when it's open field....happy for it to be proven otherwise....
 
Pretty shitty when punters go into bat
for an organisation like the roosters
and give us that old 'if you can't beat
them join them' spiel. Wouldn't it be
nice if all 17 clubs played on an even
level field & were properly audited
to prove that everyone was cap compliant?
Radical idea, I know. Would be nice though

That's just crazy talk....
Every comp needs Villains....The roosters are just the rich pompous frat Alpha Beta boys who need to be taken down a few pegs....
Tigers are the Lambda Lambda Lambda's of the comp.... loveable and plucky
The older people on the forum would know about the Tri-Lambs....

We're a 1950's business model....
Until we kybosh the board, And bring in a set of business professionals that can offer something more than a diluted passion for a football club that hasn't existed for 25 years... And get us some contacts with the top end, We're at where we're at.

That said, I wouldn't trade up from the Tigers for any money....

Theres an old saying "a fool and his money are soon parted" but being joined to the club by unconditional love and loyalty doesnt make us fools 😂👍
 
Moses got engaged last Tuesday, the rock looks very expensive. Seems an uncanny timing for the proposal and by the looks of the ring he knows he has extra money to spend coming from somewhere. I am feeling extra confident that he will be here.

I'll go out on a limb here and suggest the following:
- You have absolutely no idea what anyone in the Roosters top 30 is on.
- You have zero evidence of any payments, gifts or other outside the cap
that haven't been declared.

Bout right?
