No surprise Hearing Roosters tabling "a massive offer" for TP.Jr

Surely we have enough cap available next year to trump any offer?

I know it's likely a losing battle competing with Brisbane and Easts but surely we can have a crack??

East will argue cronk will free up the funds but can't see how Broncos can justify a successful bid

My understanding is that the Roosters have a spare $9,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,020,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.02 in their cap. They released Blake Fingerson last year.

Yep. They'll argue the Cronk card!

How much faith would the club restore in the supporters by pulling off a coup like this. I would support an overs bid to lock him up for 4 years... build around a pack of TPjr and Napa... build it and they will come

I just read that now. No surprise there and they'll probably get him. Obviously no one in the media will question how they afford him and no one at the NRL would bat an eyelid.

The Cronk money isn't a good enough excuse as they'd have to pay increased salaries to Latrell, Keary, Radley plus they signed Critchon and Teddy to huge deals... But that's assuming they operate under a salary cap which they don't.

We all hate the Roosters but I blame our club more than them for being dumb enough to try and stay under the cap when the top clubs spend triple the cap and blatantly cheat and get away with it.

It's time we did the same to become a power again and stop being such tight ass pussies because in the NRL teams that play by the rules come last and cheaters prosper.

You can't compete with the private jets, blood diamonds, Bitcoin, Faberge Eggs and ivory that the Roosters can offer.

Oh, and Harvard degrees...

My understanding was that our club didn’t go hard enough for him because we wanted Woods and Tedesco wasn’t fitting the family club image?

Seeing Brisbane and the Roosters fight over the same player is like watching Bill Gates and the Sultan of Brunei getting into a bidding war on a rare artwork.

They throw money around like its nothing and all you can do is watch and think wouldn't it be nice to have money like that one day and to have nice things like they do?

The salary cap sure is working a treat to even out the competition when the same four clubs buy the comps best players every year...

In summary, the NRL is a joke and every other team but Brisbane, the Roosters, Souths, Melbourne, Cronulla and now Newcastle should all start a rebel comp where maybe one day they'll be able to sign good players too.

Don’t write broncos off to match the offer .
Broncos = owned by news Corp

News Corp = channel 9

Channel 9 = funds nrl

Broncos = Chanel 9s most marketable product

End of story broncos need to be successful so I’m tipping he will stay .

As btrain said, it's like watching Gates and an Arab sheik at an auction.

We signed him and the roosters approached him while his contact was in the cooling off period .

What club with you rather sign with?

A club with a superstar roster, a premiership force and the current premiers, good coach, upmarket area with nice cafes etc

Or

A club with a bunch of nobodies sailing dead last with a nobody coach who doesn’t look like winning a premiership anytime soon and in an area with lebs walking around in trackpants eating kebabs

Could You imagine if we got caught cheating the cap again. Don't forget we have plenty of enemies in head office and the media.
