...haha.....just thought I'd play along @DinkumDog!Or 3 it seems! Thanks @Jabba the Mutt!
Even though we have been crappy for the past few years we have still shown grit at times. Especially against Melbourne, JAC would know.a few crap years was never going to define a great club
that's right... the players know they are playing for a proud club... we'll be back where we belong soon enoughEven though we have been crappy for the past few years we have still shown grit at times. Especially against Melbourne, JAC would know.
Most teams who faced us in the last 3rd of last season were worried. Remember in the Parra game how Brown deliberately took out DWZ? With a net gain in experience for the coming season, and the knowledge that guys like L Thompson are coming in 2021, teams are only going to get more worried about facing us.that's right... the players know they are playing for a proud club... we'll be back where we belong soon enough
despite some of the score lines I was happy with the effort all year personally.. I mean you've just got to cop those results when there is so much inexperience in a squad.. but most pleasing was how they didn't kick stones but turned it around.. I believe we will be much more competitive for the full season this yearMost teams who faced us in the last 3rd of last season were worried.

Not true. The rorters had to pilfer off everyone else because their junior system is complete shite. Every dog has his day so to speak and Nicks will come.. That will be a lovely day indeed. All things eventually come out.
Thanks for the pretty rainbow Alan79 but I think there are a couple of others on here that are even more overly optimistic if they think the rorters are legitimate. Motor Racing is a good comparison because they only call it cheating if you are caught, before that it is considered working the limits of the rules or creating a technical edge which sounds much nicer than cheating.I gave you a rainbow for this because I too am hopeful that the Chooks get found out for cheating. But as far as it goes he might actually be giving the salary cap auditors their own brown paper bags. I do think that it hit the desperation stage for him and he's pushed the envelope with it in recent years. The Roosters have always been a team that was happy to pay top dollar to good players. But before the last few years they had limits to how many they would pay through the teeth for. I think that they're doing it with the majority of the team because Nick has recognized that he can.

I have no proof, but somebody does and somebody always blabs sooner or later. To be honest of the 6 Premierships I have been fortunate to have seen us win since 1980, the 2004 title had a tiny bit of a bad taste because of the cap crap. Even though we were punished I remember plenty of mates never letting me forget we had a stacked team. We did lose a couple of good guys to the cap penalty's but still had a team with 11 players who played S.O.O, for their Country or both, including a future immortal plus the greatest goal kicker ever..

You honestly believe fans would be better at overseeing the game. Did you know that fan is short for fanatic, how would you expect them to oversee anything and act professionallyI think the only way it'll get exposed is through a pissed off employee blabbing. Unfortunately as we saw with the Cronulla cap breaching, it will just be overlooked if the NRL feel like it. It's unfortunate that the fans have no say in who oversees the game. I wouldn't rule out hope that we see some justice there. But I'm not going to hold my breath.
I don't, but I also don't think that we have the option to currently get rid of what seems to be a very self serving leadership group that in my opinion doesn't have the interests of the game as a whole as their main motivation.You honestly believe fans would be better at overseeing the game.

When someone raises it with me I always point out that a number of players took pay cuts to stay with us. That’s commitment to the team and teammates, they were a tight bunch, great team and should have won 3 premierships.Thanks for the pretty rainbow Alan79 but I think there are a couple of others on here that are even more overly optimistic if they think the rorters are legitimate.

Especially 2006 that was our year also...When someone raises it with me I always point out that a number of players took pay cuts to stay with us. That’s commitment to the team and teammates, they were a tight bunch, great team and should have won 3 premierships.

Also as if the fucking roosters and broncos weren't stacked that year either. Can look at it in a way that all the top sides were cheating and we did it the best lolWhen someone raises it with me I always point out that a number of players took pay cuts to stay with us.
