Safe to say every Sydney and NSW RL fan is behind the Roosters to take out premiership number 14 and salvage some dignity for the failing state of NSW.
If you're somehow still on the fence (who are these people though??) here are 5 reasons to get behind The People's Team for the next 2 weeks!
1. It's NSW v QLD. Letting those maroon merkins notch up another win on the board is something I know the good people of Canterbury, Penrith and Cronulla won't stand for.
2. It's ARL v SL. Not the first time Roosters have had to save Rugby League and likely won't be the last, and Sydney appreciates it. The fine upstanding fans of Parra, Souths, St George-Illawarra, Manly, Wests, and Newcastle are all behind the mighty tricolours to stick it Ruperts pet clubs once again.
3. It's Foundation Clubs vs Corporate Blow-In "Franchises". 1 team scraped together from the ashes of SL, 1 team who started it, and 1 team who sold out at the first chance. 3 Cheap Americanised mascots. 3 soulless bland entities. Sydney fans respect history. None moreso than Souths and Wests, who will be standing together with their fellow Foundation Club in the next 2 weeks.
4. It's the Good Guys of Rugby League vs the Cheats and Scoundrels. We all know what Melbourne have done and continue to benefit from. We all know the Broncos have brought Rugby League to its knees and continue to abuse it. And the Cowboys have always treated any loss as a conspiracy. These 3 clubs are the Enemies of Sydney Rugby League. Sydney fans won't cop these dirtbags tainting our Grand Final.
5. It's Sydney v The Rest. A win for the Roosters is proof for all of us that Sydney stands tall against all challengers. Proof that Sydney is the one true heartland of Rugby League. Whether they are QLDers, Super Leaguers, Corporate Leeches or Cheats, Sydney will strike them all down together.
Sydney fans rise up for the Roosters!
