Meeting the players

[Rooster_Luke]

I was on holiday in Sydney not long ago and randomly came across our 1st grade squad training on the Randwick Rugby field in Coogee.

Being a life-long Roosters fan, I was pretty excited to be able to watch the squad train up close. After they finished all the players came over to where a few fans were and posed for photos.

Now, I know it's not hard to have a photo with a fan but I was really impressed with how all the boys handled themselves. Every player I met made a real effort to have a chat, asking where you're from, if you're coming to the next game and all that stuff.

I just wanted to give the players, coaches and club a wrap because they are continuously bagged in the media for different things but as far as I was concerned they couldn't have been more friendly!

Good stuff Luke. I'd say that would have been an edict from Nick Politis. Always be available to the fans, that's who you're playing for.
