1. Rorter$ - where to begin? Easily the shiftiest club in the comp! No Fans, represent a non rugby league area, the club is a rich mans plaything. How about 2002. Poaching our players as well as every other clubs stars. No Juniors yet due to chequebook & influence consistently have the strongest squad in the NRL. Nick Politis on the NRL Board when our points were taken in 2002. Majority of player agents are in their back pocket. Have media contacts all over to ensure favourable publicity even when players like Myles do piles in public. Sign all the stars sacked by other teams Carney, SBW, Ferguson, actually sign everyones stars anyway. Channel 9 influence through Gyngell. Their recruitment guru Peter O Sullivan escaped any sanctions over the Storm cheating even though heavily implicated.
A never ending list of internationals throughout their current squad that many evaluate to be worth well over 9 million.
Lose JWH - no worriesm, in comes Moa. Lose Pearce - No worries, in comes a very highly rated junior half in Hastings
Its often said Politis never misses out a player he wants. Hodges, Pearce, JWH, Maloney, J. Hastings, now Nikorema to name a few were all very high in demand by their original clubs yet all ended up leaving for the rorters
Dirty, Grubby, Cheating club representing yuppyville & the whos who of the corporate world in Sydney
2. Dragons & Parra & Manly - only second because we have them covered
