This has been some of the dumbest stuff I have ever heard from supporters of their own team from Rorters fans on this thread... with the exception of constipated... you have all made schoolies_2004 look like a rugby league genius.

Exactly!! Do you really think Roosters go and 'steal' players.
YES, it's common knowledge...
**MeL**88 said:
What are the players? Braindead? Most of them want to go to the Roosters because they have such a great name and are priveleged to have the Roosters interested in them!
Noone other than a Rorters supporter would ever even consider believing that shit that the club present through the media. Money talks. Simple.
"[insert player] decided to play for less money becaue he wanted to be part of such a great club moving in the right direction." How many times have we had to hear this? Yet every time such players leave who were playing for virtually nothing, all of a sudden it frees up heaps of the salary cap and they are able to buy other stars. Isn't it amazing?

And as if every other single club is only made up of local talent! Let's look at the oh so precious saints that many ppl love here. Colin Best, Willie Manu and Clint Greenshields have all been 'bought' to name a few... so can u say that saints are only made up local talent?
Lol this part made me choose your post as the one to reply to.
Firstly... Willie Manu is a St George junior.
Secondly... lets go through our side then shall we?
Ben Hornby
Colin Best (Cronulla junior who went to UK, came back looking for opportunity)
Mark Gasnier
Matt Cooper
Wes Naiqama
Trent Barrett (this is disputed it can go either way it doesn't bother me if you don't agree)
Mathew Head
Luke Bailey
Michael Ennis (Newcastle junior, came looking for opportunity as he was stuck behind the world's best hooker in Danny Buderus)
Jason Ryles
Ashton Sims
Lance Thompson
Shaun Timmins
Justin Poore
Ben Creagh
Dean Young
Willie Manu
Aaron Gorrell
Michael Henderson
etc etc
Ok... your turn? And if you say that your player was bought before playing for another FG team please list JF salary and what club they came from, as well as whether or not the club wanted to keep them but couldn't match ridiculous offers from your club. Thanks.
