I was listening to Robbos press conference today and realized I don’t actually know what the “Roosters Way/Style “ of rugby is?
Has this ever been defined publicly?

Used to be running through the front door Robbo once said, take the tough carriers, run direct through the middle, and ice your opportunities.Originally posted by RoosterBooster View Post

bondi wall is broken and bondi attack is rubbish he hasn't changed tactics since the good players have leftComment

- Go out of your way to go above and beyond (aka 'take the tough carries')
- No taking shortcuts or cheats.
- Personal Accountability
- Play in the spirit of the game (aka no diving)
this is the Roosters way.

The Roosters Way is that the foundation of success is based on hard work.
It's representative of the local Eastern Suburbs area which at the turn of the century was very working class and hard work turned it into the area it is today.
It's respecting the history of the club, the area and the people that made it happen.
A few years ago Robbo did a members event at the SCG where he explained it in detail....with a powerpoint presentation. It was very interesting and and thoroughly worthwhile attending. You could see that he is the Roosters' Chairman in waiting.
Just found this

With respect Tennessee the eastern suburbs was never a thoroughgoing working class area. Vaucluse, Woollahra, Rose Bay, Dover Heights were all patrician from earliest times. Randwick, Paddington, Darlinghurst and Potts Point had also been bourgeois but the building of a suburban rail network by 1895 had seen a flight from close living by the upper class to the new, healthier garden suburbs and that vacuum was filled by working class renters. Of course Woolloomooloo and East Sydney had always been low rent. Double Bay, too, had a split personality. Messenger lived down there and one of the first games of League was played in Double Bay Park but it and neighbour Darling Point harboured wealth for the most part. There was a considerably sized working class renter enclave everywhere (Clovelly was called Poverty Point in the Depression years) but there were plenty of home owners in handsome 19 Century dwellings the further you went from the inner city.

Nice thread RoosterBooster, with some great replies.
Until the usual bore derailed it with marxist ideology.
If you own anything, you're always gonna be on his shit list.
Maybe if we all chipped in and paid Big Sammy to let him go down on him he might agree to leave good threads alone?Comment

to me it started in 2013 ...2 things i think
the bondi wall
the 1 % philosophy
we played a tough uncompromising brand of football , based more on defence then attack , not that we could not attack , but d was the focus .
my 2 cents .Comment
