Souths Set to Become a Powerhouse With Packer To Buy In

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

Well we only have ourselves to blame...well not me or you but the administration of the club. It;s obvious that winning alone does not bring you more members. It's how the club is marketed. souffs were damaged goods for decades and even being kicked out but they survived, Crowe's acquisition and hands on approach has flogged us off field.
Meanwhile we're buying players to make us more popular and yes it has worked if only slightly but admin has forgotten about the Roosters community and future fans.

Stop whingeing about Nine, souths and the NRL...point the finger at the CEO past and present as to why we lose out to those in Redfern.

Sorry, I must have missed something.....apart from the other Friday, when have we ever lost out to them at anything?

You're holding them up as some sort of role model, when most people just see them as a basket case that were given a massive hand out this season.

Like I said. Another souths thread. Might be time to take a break from this site until 2015. Perhaps by then people will stop writing about Souths

[Hawkeye]

Papers reckon Politis & Packer arent on the best terms anymore. could be part of his motivation

Motivation for buying into the Vermin ?
I'd suggest the reason they aren't on good terms is because of his treachery in joining the enemy.

I still think the way Nick, Bouris, Glyngal & Ricketson run the Easts Group is better than having 2 guys own 75% of your club.

Agreed.

Does Paxcker joing them guarentee that they will they become a powerhouse?

Since when are they the NRLs most popular club?

The this over exaggerated BS is making me sick. This much hysteria been never created over any of the premiers in rugby league history. If it continues its enough to turn the fans of the 15 other clubs off the NRL

Not really. Of course we hate them, and so we should. Most fans, though, don't hate souths and lots of people are enjoying the fairy tale angle.

It will last we'll into next season so best we get use to it.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Not from where I sit. I don't know any non-Souths fans who don't hate Souths.

That's some sequence of negatives, right there.

[Johnny Tobin]

I'm with the grubber.

The Souffs hate is not just amongst us. It's widespread.

Sure we have hated them longer and it's more personal but others can't stand the special treatment they get from officials, their self-appointed "pride of the league" spin, the "when Souffs are going well the league is going well" garbage and the biased hysteria in the media.

It's another thing we can blame News for. Sounds had lost their appeal yet News let them back in anyway.

This doesn't work for me. If no one except souths fans like the fairy tale then why the nrl and media conspiracy theories about wanting souths to win a comp to generate dollars

You can't have it both ways

Btw, fark souths - go Easts!!!

Gyngell is not on the board.

Jamie Waymie Junior is an imbecile. If he was smart, he would have kept his media assets in Australia so he could preserve some long term influence for decades and generations to come in Australia. You ultimately run Australia by controlling the media, not by controlling casinos in various former democratic parts of China.

The guy has shown his total disloyalty by shifting from the Easts camp to the souffs camp. For all the talk about his old man being a "souffs supporter", the fact is for almost all of Kerry's life as a mogul, he either put his support and clout behind Easts or Manly. souffs got the occasional crumbs from the table.

I wouldn't be too worried about Jamie. Not too many self-respecting men go on national TV and cry like a baby about their "personal lives being a disaster". As for the Scientology bit. Well in my view all religion is stupid, mind-numbing brainwashing, but Scientology tales the cake as the ultimate bullshit fantasy. "Sci-fi writer sets up religion" being the original headline is all we need to contemplate.

Good luck to Jamie Waymie at souffs. Terrible investment decision as others before him have discovered. Any initiative Alan Jones has ever been involved in, well, let us just say this is destined to end in (more) tears. If his old man was alive he'd punch him in the face and tell him to wake up to himself.

Easts to win, souffs to lose.

Love it... we don't have pokies because they aren't ethical. We just run a billion dollar casino empire!!

PS - Is this a subliminal message suggesting that Souffs will sign Russell Packer? They got rid of Bennie the wife beater. Packer beat up a helpless man (while he was on the ground) and did 2 years time instead of conning his partner into providing no evidence against him in court. That's a step up right?

[bondi paul]

Agreed.

Gyngell is not on the board.if he was he would have had a lot to answer to with his fellow board members when he crucified Pearce via his tabloid tv station 9 so to get his head off newspapers front pages after his lovers tiff with sycophant Packer

[Johnny.]

So one wastrel son of a tycoon is replacing another wastrel son of a tycoon. If the PRC doesn't ratf*** him by taking over Macau after Hong Kong that is.

[The Brain]

Forget the Packer Souffs thing he is just plain dumb always has been.
The whole Packer souffs thing has to do with Rusty approaching packer to open doors for him in Hollywood for their Ratpak production company if he would sponsor and support Souffs etc.
This is how dumb he is Miranda Kerr is a contract girlfriend if you know what that is.
Rusty is even stupid is just mad....he has built this menatlity its like the Roosters fault that souffs were so hopeless for years ...total dope.
There was a chance to bury Souffs once and for all and we didnt I bet the heirachy who had sympathy for Souffs regret it now-opportunity lost.
Rusty will ne a Packer because he cant afford to keep Souffs afloat .Reckon he can afford to keep pumping 8-15 mill every year times 9 = over a 100 mill spent .Thats why he sooked and wanted out last year ..cash flow is ****ed and didnt win a comp so now they get penalised to victory.Fark em let them carry on.
