Bellamy to make an announcement

[Thirteen]

the point i am making is the only time our club has been successful since 1945 is when it has made astute purchases of big name players. Not over the hill chumps like we usually buy like Mason, O'Meley, Vautin, Dunn (second time), Shearer etc etc.. I agree in principal with developing players but to be successful you need to buy some top draw talent, particularly when you have deficiencies. Manly and the Bulldogs are prime examples of clubs who constantly buy select top line talent to supplement their juniors and it is no surprise they are the most successful Sydney teams.

Brisbane is to a large degree an exception due to their massive junior base but occassionally bring proven players back like Hodges and Hannant. Melbourne is an exception but made no secret when POS was there that they paid absolute top dollar to get the best juniors and had a much bigger budget to do so through the funding from News Ltd. It will be interesting to see how successful they are once Smith, Cronk and Slater eventually retire. Maybe their strategy will change.. The Dragons also showed when signing Bennett the impact of what a top line coach can do. Hopefully we can emulate Souths and Robinson can have a similar impact to Maguire.

It's a sad day if we actually want to emulate South Sydney!

Maybe we should knock out a few of our teeth just to start looking like souffs fans while we're at it.

Also change our name to the roosterohs.

Ha Ha 13 and to think we had first crack at signing Maguire but opted for the perennial loser Smith good to see losing GF'S run in the family his brother Tony lost the English Super League decider I felt sorry for big Moz though.

You are behind the times, mate.
In keeping with Roosters tradition he has been sacked & paid out early, for non performance issues.

I saw Mrs Russell Crowe walking around Rose Bay today with her vermin cap on. They love to be snide towards us but they choose to buy mansions right in our territory.

I thought they lived in Woolloomooloo in the exclusive Waterfront Apartments above John Laws?

It was probably a lookalike Danielle Spencer. Souths have heaps more supporters than the Roosters in the Eastern Suburbs IMO but who cares?
They can live where they want & can wear what they want as far as Im concerned. I couldn't care less who anyone one follows, I will just continue to have something visable of the Roosters on me at all times.

Moderators would you please mind moving this thread into the appropriate forum category. The title is enough to suggest it has nothing to do with The Roosters.
