ROOSTERS’ BIG NIGHT OUT

IT was the secret stadium sleep-out that could inspire the Roosters to the NRL’s greatest prize.

The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the Roosters last week slept on the hallowed turf at Alliance Stadium in a determined bid to turn their home ground into a rugby league fortress.

Thirty players and 16 members of the football staff vowed to make Allianz Stadium the most feared away trip in rugby league in an extraordinary pre-season bonding camp that forced the players to sleep in driving rain.

Shunning the stock-standard pre-season trip to the Central Coast, Roosters coach Trent Robinson ordered his team to spend the night on the playing surface with nothing more than a pillow and a sleeping bag.

I wouldve told Robbo to go F himself hehehe

I didnt think we needed any practice going to sleep on our home ground. I bet in the second half off the night they slept like logs

Precisely. The objective should have been to not fall asleep. Sleeping at the stadium is not an issue.

Did they get to smoke the turf too?

[Johnny Tobin]

They already slept there in the prelim final.

Tough to make a 45,000 seat stadium a fearful trip, when it is rarely 1/3 full and never had a real feel of it being just a roosters stadium.

raiders,Newcastle,broncos, manly, shark park, All have the potential for fortresses due to either weather conditions or crowd. Alliance has as much of a fear rating as ANZ does.

I like it - hope it strengthens the mental toughness that has been missing ...

Yes I’m always very fearful of going to any stadiums that don’t have seats.

I am glad u said potential, as Newcastle has been a fortress of sorts in the past 3 years for visiting teams......

That’s gold.
i hope the coach has other things in mind to get this team to meet their potential.

It is nice to have a spare 30,000 seats a match.
