Its smear by association... irrelevantly name drop the club with a negative event that is completely unassociated with them....so yes I do think its a conscious decision by the writer

no, no and no. Just trying to help a fellow roosters fan by pointing out the absurdity of his persecution complex

Of course you are Phil.

Well, then you must have been following the Roosters for about 5 minutes then. Even people who do not follow us know we get a raw deal from certain sections of the media. This is fact, not 'a persecution complex'.

Tony, even people that work with Buzz say that his hatred of everything Red White & Blue is beyond belief.

Looks like we're going to have to run some group sessions...

hold on a sec chook. I don't doubt that, but we're talking about a story that talked about watts being in trouble and started off by saying

"FORMER Roosters and Cowboys NRL player Anthony Watts has been rushed to hospital after he was involved in a stoush at the Gold Coast home of his ex-fiancee...."

Not even written by Rothfield, and anyone who suggests that mentioning the roosters in the title and not the sharks makes it an anti roosters piece is, quite simply, clueless, and does indeed have a persecution complex.

If anything, mentioning the roosters supports the decision the roosters made in cutting the idiot

I think you are way too defensive on this subject.

Yes I know all this, Tony.
Do you not think that Buzz has input into anything that relates to Rugby League? You could bet your bottom $ that he would be dropping advice to any reporter doing an article on the Roosters.
And lets not forget, we are talking about News Ltd. It's like a boys club.

Do you actually think that happened re this watts story?

I don't know. Maybe, maybe not.
It would have originated from The Gold Coast Bulletin (News) & gone through the channels from there.

The Roosters and Cowboys would have been mentioned for no other reason than they were his 2 most recent NRL clubs, and the trouble he got into with us is quite a bit more top of mind than the 5 games he played for Cronulla some 5 years ago.

If you seriously think the person writing that makes a conscious decision to mention the roosters in order to "smear the club" then you have no clue. If anything a story about him going off the rails again backs up the decision the roosters made to cut him

Mate you are fighting a losing battle on here, there are people on here who think the refs are out to get the Roosters or that the NRL are out to get the Roosters or that News Limited is out to get the Roosters, it just never stops.

Those poor souls follow a game they think is rigged against the Roosters, how silly are they?

I know Mickey, don't know why I bother

I've asked that question before to the nutjobs who think the refereeing is rigged against the roosters - why do you go, why do you watch?

Never an answer, or one that makes any sense anyway

And the wentworth courier match reviews that everyone loves so much - who owns the wentworth courier?

They wear their nutjobness like some badge of honour

As an employee can you tell us how much influence the "Editor at Large" has on the content of these articles?
