Another Saturday Night Stitchup

[bondi-boy]

Whoa, hang on a minute...all other clubs buy players, and plenty of them.

Jake, SKD, Mini, Guerra, Cordner, RTS, FPN, Moa, Maloney, Maubs, Liu, Kennedy, LOD,JWH, Jennings unwanted by the Panthers...hardly the NRL's biggest stars when we signed them.

Easts are just a power brokers club with endless cash to throw at superstars at an attemp to win premierships at any cost, With seven coaches in 14 years and buys such as fittler, wing, mason, anasta , jennings, maloney, SBW and now possibly targeting folau or Ferguson, there is no soul, and relocation or not being in the league at all would have no impact with the media or fan bases at all.

That is the thinking of the majority of people I speak to when they ask who I support.

But id much rather have success at any cost, than no success such as raiders, souths, parra warriors and many other teams.

Tell those who think we have no soul that the club with Steggles raised over a million for charity whilst the charity at souffs is a rort 20% only going to charity over the past two years.
The NRL could take a leaf out of our book by having a level of care especially with the latest player suffering neck and spinal injury - a great jesture by the NRL would be to pay all medicals for the duration of his life and his yearly salary - pittance compared to earnings from TV deals and the dodgy partnership with Sportsbet

Mate the players could feed lobster to the poor for 2 yrs straight and opinion wont change. Just one of those things, when people say we are salary cap cheats or brown paper bag masters, I just agree with them which annoys them more.

A dry track we make a difference for us hopefully we can sync our attack. Im very confident, we haven't been far off the last few weeks in conditions that don't suit our style. And if we get a penalty in front take the bloody 2.

Standby for other grounds to be mysteriously wet when we arrive on match day...as has happened many times in the past.
No rain for two/three weeks ... yet the grounds look like they've just had an inch of rain on them.

[easts4eva]

Interesting you said that, I rembember a game against manly in 2005. No rain for 6 weeks yet the SFS surface was soaked they put it down to dew. BTW we lost. Ha Ha.

[stephenj]

i live in the shire so ill be there loud and proud in rwb!

[roosterproud]

do some loud n proud for me stephenj

[stephenj]

its not a conspiracy if its the truth, they may not be conspiring against us but they do have preconcieved ideas re penalties and tend to follow what feels right, hence 50/50 calls will all go against us?

[redwhiteblue]

Stephen, shouldn't you be down at Remondis guarding the grass for us? Just to make sure no-one is doing anything like watering it or anything?

[bondi-boy]

Bias, preconceived ideas?

Some people say it's hate.

[kurtsherlock6]

Just checked out the penalty ratios for the men in pink this Saturday night and they are both highly favourable towards Cronulla and don't like us. Expect another 2 to 1 penalty count against us.

Alan Shortall Cronulla 1.19 Roosters 0.83
Henry Perenara Cronulla 1.23 Roosters 0.93

Well you were pretty spot on there, except the penalty count was 3 - 1 against us yet we were still able to win.

[Andrew Walker]

So what has it been for the last two weeks We were on the end of a lopsided one last week We are once again getting massacred in the penalties most weeks

I don't blame the refs, if you are good enough you will win. Just like the Roosters did tonight just as they did last year to win the comp.

Some on here can come out with your conspiracies or so called facts every week but it means sweet fcuk all. If the Roosters are on song even without luck they are a very good team. When they are on song & have some luck they are unbeatable. Nothing to do with the refs.
