“Souless “players is a ridiculous way to refer to two players who want the best deal for their efforts, they are professional sportsmen, who want to be the best , and want to play with the best, at the highest level.p
Too bad that we don’t want have more like them
Instead of crying about the way that the Roosters are run we should be trying to be more like them
Nick Politis is a real supporter of the club and has been for decades , and is now setting up some property as an income for the Roosters future, for when he’s no longer here.
We have HT,
Who we only hear from when he needs us for a bit of publicity.
If , we have as many supporters as the club keeps telling us, surely there is some businessmen that our Silent Board members know of ,who could be Cajoled into getting behind our club
,
The Roosters expect to be successfull, And plan for it
We and a lot of clubs only Hope for it
If this Board can’t start to get other people to support this club then get rid of them and look for people who are used to success .
Running other clubs down who ARE successful ,doesn’t help at all.
Just because we can’t attract players like Cronk and Tedesco isn’t their fault, it’s our problem.
We have to think and learn from the better clubs if we want to be up
There with them on a regular basis.
But we probably won’t do anything different, we’ll just keep on criticising people who want to be the best, AND keep on losing them to the top clubs

Talking to my bro in law after the game I felt similar, thinking about how we as a club fit into it all, how far away we are and just the unevenness of the comp as a whole.
I look at Cronks display and I see something thats been earnt very much, it will go down in history and the Roosters owe Cronk everything…but Cronks pain will subside and he will never have to want for anything ever again as hes earnt the right to be a Politis lackey for the rest of his days, much like Mini, Ricko etc
They as a club however earnt nothing, they bought it...
Unless theres some drastic change in the way the cap/TPAs are ...I cant see us challenging seriously any time soon really...another 05 is a lifetime away

The pathetic Channel Nine commentary made a dull game even worse . The self important Gould's gems of wisdom combined with Warren's 1980s style droning ruined the S O A as well.This old boys club needs a serious overhaul or sub contact the coverage to the vastly superior Fox Sports.
Gould in particular seems to think his bleeding obvious comments are earth shattering.

He repeats himself more than Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon. When Cronk kicked the field goal and Slater dived, he said at least 4 times, over and over “Slater knew what he was doing. Slater knew what he was doing. Slater knew what he was doing. Slater knew what he was doing”. Loves the sound of his own voice.

Out at the ground I thought it was a good game. Roosters came out strongly and rattled them in the first 20 and the Storm were shook. From there they just muscles up in defence.
Storm and Munster in particular showed that they don’t do well if they are rattled and you keep the pressure on. We did it to them early in the season and the Roosters did it last night.
I thought that Aubusson was their best player made was important tackles and was the leader of their defence line.

Cronks courage was astonishing. Further more, his demeanour after the win was first class. He even gave a moment or two to speak with the young bloke who handed him his medal. Absolute top effort and one that will be remembered for as long as the game is played I think. He's still full of himself though …. :laughing:
Not sure if it's been mentioned already, but the length of the 1st Munster sinbinning was a bit controversial I thought. I was sure he had gone off with just less than 10 minutes to go and yet he returned with around 15 - 20 seconds to play and very nearly set up a try for Ado Carr. Anyone else see that or am I completely wrong here?

Its a view held by quite a few. I know many people who feel disillusioned by the structure of the game. Unfortunately the NRL is won and lost on money. The "big" clubs are only interested in themselves and have no care for the future of the game. You can look at a coaching situation as proof. One club been on it's knees fighting it's way back only to have another come in and try and chop the legs from under them again. What does that have to do with money? Well the club on it's knees has had to fight tooth and nail to break even, while the other club has had a 9 million dollar loss in it's football department, is happy to pay out a coach they just renewed for 2 years and poach another coach on twice or 3 times the money he is on at his current club. Without that money behind them, i doubt the approach happens.
You only have to look at the business people involved with the Roosters to the financial clout available in 3rd party deals. Funnily enough, they always sign players on x amount of dollars, but when that player leaves they seem to free up a lot more funds than what they initially signed for. It's human nature to look after yourself, and thats what the clubs do, but they will eventually canaballise themselves. The NRL is where the leadership has to come from.
