Are we back? What have we missed?

[ROC181]

Like I wrote in another thread while the site was partially down is that all of these negative and misleading articles should be hung in the sheds for the players to be motivated for 3rd title and give these journos a cold reception when they try to interview them. They want to lie, then they’ll get little.

Also as our resident Patriots fan Milanja said earlier, The Patriots are also given crap by the media because they always win...well the only way to give these journos the middle finger is to win again and again and let’s copy the Patriots success and piss all those arseholes off till they run out of steam.

Can someone tell Breen about Angus's charity, the community work, time & support that Latrell does, all the hospital visits the players make, the Steggles charity nest ...how many millions over past 4 or 5 years has this raised (this doesn't happen without the club's partnership with Steggles). How many millions did the club spend on buying the old post office at Randwick and convert into 'Easts House' and its community work.
Typical modern day journo who couldn't be bothered getting off his @rse to check facts, but base his conclusion on not winning the Ken Stephen medal ....until this year had never even heard of it !

On Twitter many have pointed out the charity work the roosters and their players do to Breen's account, but like the coward that he is, he just likes them and doesn't respond.

He only responds to fans who were accusing him of saying roosters didn't deserve the premiership, which he tries to point out he definitely did acknowledge in one or two lines- what a hero


What is with the SMH agenda against the Roosters at the moment? aren't they owned by nine now? Raiders were robbed, trent robinson is hated by everyone, rooster need to make up for their controversial win, stay classy roosters fans etc etc

Or are they just jumping on the 'hate the roosters' bandwagon because its easy?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

SMH, News.com, Guardian, Sportingnews have all been laying it on thick and often that we were gifted a premiership. They are all known for pushing agendas on spurious detail but this is quite bizarre.

It's just sad really, very sad.

At times I've felt almost robbed of our premiership! We have not been allowed to celebrate our great and courageous team's amazing achievements and they have received next to no praise for it! All the media wants to do is harp on about refs and trainers (ignoring the facts), focus on the losers, and write revolting, lying articles about our great club. The latest being by some grub at the SMH this weekend.

The SMH has finally become what it physically is - A TABLOID FULL OF CRAP! - I won't be reading it again. I'm also going to stop trying to make people aware of the facts and correct all the myths and downright lies about our great club. The haters will always find some rubbish reason to hate in an attempt to make them feel better about themselves and their under-performing clubs. The more they hate, the better we must be, so screw them! Let's embrace it!

[Tommy Smith]

That trash article by Mr Breen is borderline defamatory.

What an absolute disgrace many amongst the NRL league media are.

I couldn't be prouder of the Roosters club. Our extraordinary onfield efforts on field are matched equally by our hard work, humility and compassion off the field.

I can see where you're coming from cb, but personally I'm not listening to the haters. I am still walking on air. To win the comp is the best feeling - to win it two years in a row is the best feeling cubed.

[chopstiks]

It's good to be back .... to back !!!!!

Breens just another member of that weird bitter outraged over nothing cult.... gotta spread your suffering. I had to double check the date of the scum article. it sure is eating away at them BAD!

Meanwhile ive been stopping to chat to fellow fans with their gear on in the street, and tooting at cars with roosters flags stickers and punching the air. loving it. CHAMPIONS! !!!

I know what you mean.

But try as they may, it's undisputed and we won the comp.

Why would anyone feel robbed? If the 6 again stood and Canberra scored you wouldn't hear boo from anyone in the media and they would be calling us a bunch of sore losers. We would be hearing about the fairytale for 12 months.
I have my desk in the office full of Roosters photos and posters and a box of tissues for anyone coming over to have a whinge.
The fact we won under some controversy just makes the victory sweeter knowing how much it burns so many people. Had we lost we'd be copping it from everyone. So fcuk them all.

As for the trainer and Keary non-penalty, the fact that is wasn't a penalty meant we ended up with a try instead of a penalty goal. So I am happy the the scrum feed.

It has taken a lot of shine off it for me.

Especially because the comments are so idiotic.

[Maxy Walker]

If you think the Breen article was bad have a look at the one by some guy called Darren Kane, also in the SMH over the weekend...

[Maxy Walker]

No one should let any of this detract from the enjoyment of the win. Screw that. It’s exactly what they want. Don’t give them the pleasure. Wallow in the hate.

[Old Man Rooster]

I'm okay with the hate but I found the match was tainted by the idiotic commentary. I will never take Gus seriously again. All the stuff afterwards is just pure jealously at our success and continued pursuit of excellence.

How many times this year has he said that "we're on the ropes"? The particular line that the Raiders have already got the knockout and now just need to score was absurd.

It should be noted that every time Gus has come out with this tripe we have gone on to win; including the Prelim vs the Storm.

Even if Gould is not biased, he is simply a boring old man who doesn't realize that is what he has become. No one doubt his knowledge of the game or his standing in it but providing commentary is not his forte.

Is it possible to get a copy of the GF with the sound on but the commentary off?
