Inglis, Cooper and the new Salary Cap Rules

[theGman]

Makes me think why we would want any corporate sponsors beyond , the playing jersey.....If they cant top a players wage as a sponsor-
just tell them to be "friendly" with there dosh towards the club.

In other words, thank them for their patronage but in order to continue supporting the club they need to drop off as an official club sponsor and channel their funds towards a player/s. In return of good will the player/s may elect to turn up to the organisations social days etc...

If the weekend report about us being filthy about missing out on Foran is correct that would indicate we had a considerable amount of funds available as he wouldn't have come cheap, add that to the cap increases we must have some funds left, maybe we are building from the bottom up and upgrading contracts for the likes of Maubs/Linnett/Leilua rather than chasing any more big name flops.

[Johnny Tobin]

Maybe Uncle Nick should withdraw his sponsorship and step aside. Jamie Packer could do the same. We could blow most other clubs out of the water then!!!

Packer doesn't put a cent into the club.

[Pass the Ball]

Packer doesn't put a cent into the club.

He never has, has he?

His dad certainly did...

[Headless Chook]

Packer doesn't put a cent into the club.

Wasn't aware of that. I thought he was one of our biggest supporters.

[Cockadoodledoo]

Wasn't aware of that. I thought he was one of our biggest supporters.

I would doubt he even gave a toss about the club.

[theGman]

I would doubt he even gave a toss about the club.

He grew up following the Roosters with his best mate Gyngell.
Also served as a football club director for several years and eventually stepped aside because he found it difficult to attend monthly meetings.
James is very much a Roosters boy!

I am aware of that but in the greater scheme of things he didn't come across as passionate about the club.. I knew he rarely attended meetings.. Contrast that to Kerry who looked after Manly very well.. The irony being that Kerry was a Souths fan to begin with but only went to Manly after Ron Jones didn't want Kerry to tip in his money to the Roosters.
