IRATE South Sydney supporters have sent hate mail to departing Bulldogs five-eighth Braith Anasta.
In a callous twist to Anasta signing with arch-rivals the Sydney Roosters, the offensive mail has been arriving from disgruntled Rabbitohs fans at Bulldogs headquarters in Belmore since last week.
The Daily Telegraph understands the Bulldogs pinned an abusive message in the Belmore gymnasium, where players made light of the spiteful mail.
NSW Origin five-eighth Anasta last night laughed off the letters, suggesting South Sydney fans were entitled to be "dirty" after he signed with the Roosters.
"They're just dirty I didn't go there and they're just telling me their opinion – that's fine," Anasta said.
That's their problem but I'm not complaining, the boys have been having a bit of a laugh so that's the main thing.
"The fans are entitled to say what they like.
"Obviously there's a few supporters disappointed I didn't go there – they're just voicing their opinion to me.
"I understand their disappointment but there's nothing I can do about it."
Contacted by The Telegraph about the letters last night, Anasta's manager Greg Willett said: "He's had a couple of bad ones."
Blues star Anasta was a primary South Sydney target for 2006, with chief executive Shane Richardson describing snaring the champion pivot as "like buying back the farm".
But despite a staggering $3 million offer over six seasons to return to Redfern, Anasta chose to sign with the Roosters and announced his decision last Tuesday.
Anasta was a South Sydney junior who represented Maroubra before linking with the Bulldogs when the Rabbitohs were excluded from the NRL.
South Sydney chief executive Shane Richardson rejected the opportunity to comment last night, saying only: "Braith is big enough and ugly enough to look after himself."
The primary reason Anasta was squeezed out of the Bulldogs was due to the retention of fellow stars Sonny Bill Williams and Willie Mason, with the Belmore club unable to retain all three players due to salary cap pressure.
The letters follow a death threat to Mason sent to the Bulldogs' Edison Lane headquarters in Belmore last year and uncovered by The Daily Telegraph.
Anasta trained with the Bulldogs yesterday in preparation for tonight's match against Brisbane at Telstra Stadium.
Bulldogs centre Reni Maitua has been unable to train all week due to a virus but is expected to play.
who here sent a letter??? come on guys its not nice
oh well he will get over it... jack@$$
