None left after his try on the weekend unfortunately :'(
Just gotta hope he absolutely kills it for us this season and goes out a winner.
Then he can get fat doing the Hungi thang back in BroTown.
The FlogPen .
You know it makes sense.

If I were a team mate of his, I'd be quite annoyed to be honest.
JWH - rejected a million a season.
Napa - took unders to stay here.
Moa - realised the punt we took on him and stayed for less than he could get elsewhere. He's also much later in his career and extra cash would be of more significance to him.
Aubo - took well unders to stay here.
Friend - won't ever leave because he knows what the club has done for him.
Fergo - not testing the open market because he knows he owes us.
SKD - rejected a large offer from Parra to stay at the start of 2011 (when he was very highly rated).
Mini - enough said.
They should all be spewing more than anyone, same with Robbo.
The only player who has wished him well on Social Media is Hastings, which says a lot to me.Comment of the year:
Andrew Johns, Semi-Final vs North Queensland ,
"It's touched Lui's hand and travelled forward but that's not a knock on"

Well this hissy fit by POS at least confirms that there is not going to be any last ditch effort to keep Roger at the club before the June 30 deadline.
To be honest listening to POS go on about being a one club player and loyalty is a bit rich given his entire job is based around identifying recruiting talent from other ****ing clubs

He put himself to market and got his best price, good luck to him....Careers can be short. It gives another young player a chance. If Moga didn't get injured for a couple of years, do you think Toups
would've had a chance to play for NSW & Australia.

Agree, you blocked me on twitter yesterday FYI. I was a bit upset and irrational about RTS leaving. I truly regard him as a generational talent and someone I have watched very closely to reach this point. Its a massive kick in the balls to myself as a Rooster and an RTS lover to see this happen.
I tried to go with you but when you started wanting to blame "the sex offender" it was time for me to check out.

I understand your point Danish.
But everyone has a baby... Roger was POS' baby. He found him as a kid playing schoolboy football and turned the world on it's head for him.
Brought him and his family over. Gave Roger a career in Sydney (one of the best cities in the world to live), enrolled him into University, the coaches and players put everything they had into him and his development.
He is an immense talent that will be missed - i love his enthusiasm. The boys all love him and will not wish ill on him. He is a professional, he loves our club, he knows what we did for him and will bleed RWB until the day he leaves... he doesn't need to be reminded.
But I would facepalm my ancestors to $800k a year. That sort of money can set you up for life. 2 years - buy/pay off a great house in Sydney's East. Set yourself and your family up for a life with that kind of coin. Imagine not having to worry about a mortgage and housing yourself, your future kids and wife.
I would do the exact same thing in his shoes. I would be grateful and thankful to the club that made me who I am... but if by leaving it means financial security for myself and my family. You better ****ing believe i'll walk - I don't think anyone would do any different.
Life is more than winning a premiership. You have 10 years of good football in you if your a good player... 5 more if you are an amazing player. That's a pretty ****ing short career. RTS has done the smart thing and has made his years in this career count.
I wish him all the best. I will miss him immensely. Watching him step in the RWB has been on of the highlights the last 2 years.
Personally I think POS isn't wrong in his statements... But would he stay at the Roosters if he was offered double to go an Recruit for another club? Im sure he wouldnt be so harsh on himself.Just released Mayday for iOS and Android! Download it for your iPhone / iPad OR for your Android Phone / Tablet

Never say never. POS maybe playing the hard ball game with RTS to make him feel guilty and change his mind. I think Raiders did something similar with Papalii when he signed with Eels.
Saying those things in private would have been putting the hard word on him. Saying them in the press is just having a sook
