As a new Roosters fan, I'm probably stating the obvious to many of you long term/lifelong fans, but I've genuinely felt the hate, the jealousy, the envy, the bias, the slander ...& any other negative angst directed at the Roosters, over the short time I've been aboard on RWB wagon... & it's not just from opposition fans, astonishingly it's very prominent across all media platforms, from commentators, sporting experts, media administrators... so much so, it's quite mind boggling tbh!
There's gamesmenship, there's sledging, there's cheek but those are mild descriptions of the intense hate festering within the NRL. I guess hate from Day1 (in 1908) gives them the opportunity, over a time frame as long as the game has been in existence, to grow such a black-heartedness...
I realise too, the closer we get to the big prize, the more intense the dark forces become, to quickly halt our progress. We have the ability to win games on the field & overcome the sometimes huge odds against us... but the games off the field are a lottery & free for all, for all the grubs to kick us in the guts, even moreso when we down.
Rewatching the storm game, no doubt they are a very good side, but take out the officiating blunders, we are right in it, & could be gearing up for another crack at the silverware... but the "footy gods" have deemed, not this year.
Oh well, what doesn't kill me... makes me stronger. The hate usually reveals a hidden desire & wish, they were us!!! hahahaha...

. Yep the hate is real. I've basically resigned myself to the fact that anyone in the game who don't support us, are happy when we fail. It can only get back to jealousy, and those half paying attention believe the stereotypes around money and unfair advantages.
