Really looking forward to roosters winning another premiership some time in the next couple of years

They had a terrible year this year they had to go to market

Agreed. Hopefully we can get back to the good ole days of Roosters / Melbourne Grand final every year.

The offer of his own powder room at the Leagues Club closed the deal.

Surely if Cotric goes back to Canberra then we'd have to go hard for a few of their young backs. Make Simmondson a big offer, HSS, or Timoko too. They can't all be on the field at the same time.

This was in the DT article about cotric to raiders last week re Simonnson:

It’s believed the Dogs are only willing to contribute $150,000 towards Cotric’s salary for 2022 - a number short of the level of cap-relief the Raiders would need to fit the former NSW Origin winger into their cap.

The Raiders will only sign Cotric if his arrival is without major implications to their current cap.

Secondly, Canberra would only make the move if Simonsson - who has two years left on his contract - is content to join Parramatta, which it’s understood the 23-year-old is.

It was sad.

The Brandon Smith Interview in the Last 24 hours has spelled out just how professional and detailed the Roosters recruitment process.

Thats the template there Wests Tigers Management

Lets learn from the best and stop bungling the JAC and TPJs that somehow slip from out fingers.

Now for a genuine Marquee

Only because of injury’s if they had abit more luck they would have gone close to winning the comp

Half their team was either out with long term injuries or retired mid season.

What a joke follow the roooters recruitment model , we don’t have enough brown paper bags to be able to follow that model. U can bet ur last dollar what ever smith signs for which will be unders , when he retires there will be a nice envelope from uncle nic waiting for him

NRL is hopeless at enforcing the cap when it comes to top tier Teams
Clubs should be investigated for listing player contracts well below their Market value

Clubs getting away with it makes me sick

They "set you up for life ..." comment sums it up pretty well. In other words there is more that comes your way at the Roosters than the unders you apparently are prepared to take to play for them.

Not sure why we don’t have TPA’s though?

Until the NRL starts losing revenue from fans not buying their team's merchandise or not subscribing to Kayo, they will continue to turn a blind eye. We can either suck it up and wait for another '05 or just try harder to rort the system ourselves. We do need smarter leaders though, if that's the path we choose.

He is saying cos he is skinny and has tattoos he looks like a junkie.
Yes he does look slight but that’s a pretty dumb, insensitive and disrespectful comment imo

Why’s everyone complaining?

They lost friend and cordner this year… they’re under the cap..

 

[russelldp]

the chooks' spine is about to become a cheat code

1 Tedesco
6 Keary
7 Walker
9 Smith
13 Radley
14 Watson

not to mention Manu, Crichton, Suaalii, Momirovski, Collins, SST etc. they are practically guaranteed to win a premiership within the next 3 years.

For the next 3 years*

How stacked is that. Love a player of Watson's quality to come and be happy to play 14 for us...

Speaking of stacked…

Looks like Teddy has enjoyed the off season
