The only thing we know for certain is that they won't even get 8,000 through the gates, but they'll fabricate a 15,000+ figure.

 

[Non Terminator]

This one concerns me, Grothe's annoying lately.
We need a change in the forwards, no FPN, no Paea and no Soliola FFS.

 

[Lambretta]

The only thing we know for certain is that they won't even get 8,000 through the gates, but they'll fabricate a 15,000+ figure.

If you're referring to last weekend's crowd figure of 14,000+ then you'll notice that it was a Tigers home game and they're in charge of counting entrants into the game - and announcing the attendance.

Also, they're also entitled to count all ticketed members as being in attendance - regardless if they're there or not as they've sold the tickets.

So what you're saying is "I haven't got a clue about much really"

Now if you have anything actually relevant to add, please feel free to do so.


On to the game - I'm worried. The Roosters were pathetic last weekend, throwing away a lead that should not have been relinquished. If we keep on playing 40 minutes of football - then we'll keep on losing. It's as simple as that.

On the plus side for the Roosters, Parramatta rarely turn up three weeks running and having won two on the trot they'll probably think the Premiership is theirs already and they wont bother trying.

Fingers crossed, or we're going to shaft ourselves once again.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Eels fans are worried about us and we're worried about them.

You gave a plus for us, well, the plus for you is if you play your 40 minute football from the 20th to the 60th minute you will win.

Let us run riot for the first 20, wait for us to tire and then you have us.

Roosters stars Willie Mason and Nate Myles break alcohol policy, stood down

By Steve Jancetic
March 30, 2009 Sydney Roosters coach Brad Fittler was adamant axed duo Willie Mason and Nate Myles let down their teammates by deliberately flouting the club's alcohol policy.
The representative pair owned up to drinking in their homes on Sunday against the club alcohol policy that limits players to drinking only the day after matches.

Both players were immediately stood down for Friday night's clash against Parramatta, but Fittler would not elaborate just how the club found out that the pair had indulged.

They were not breath tested and only owned up after being question by Fittler.

"The question was asked, it's irrelevant why the question was asked, two blokes put their hand up," Fittler said.

Mason and Myles will turn out for the Roosters NSW Cup feeder side Newtown this weekend with their teammates appearing to be the biggest losers, given the pair knew exactly what the punishment would be for having, apparently, just a few drinks.

"They let down the coach, they've let down their mates," Fittler said.

"Alcohol is a big issue in rugby league and society, we try to put these rules in order to give players less grey areas, more black and white, and we're disappointed with the two players.

"I'm disappointed because lately the Roosters have been in the headlines whether fairly or unfairly, I think pretty unfairly with all the scrutiny they've been under, but this is why we make these rules."

Chief executive Steve Noyce doubted the pair had deliberately flouted the club's strict alcohol stance, despite the knowledge former teammate David Shillington had received the same punishment for a similar transgression last year.

"I don't know that you sit down and go into that in depth," Noyce said of Mason and Myles contemplating the punishment before drinking.

"At the end of the day they were in the wrong, they understand that, they've put their hands up and we've put our hands up.

"They've made a bad choice.

"Both players only had minimum amounts of alcohol, both consumed within their own homes, but our rules are black and white.

"The guys appreciate and understand that they have broken the rules and have to pay the consequences.

"They're disappointed, we're disappointed, Brad is disappointed, but we can't change that.

"What we've got to do is regroup and stay focused on the Parramatta game this week."

Fittler said both would come under consideration for selection for the club's Good Friday match against Brisbane.

"I don't hold grudges - the players will come back, they'll bounce back if they want to be here which I know they both want to, and we'll get on with it."

Head is tipping Parra,but you just don't really know whether they will actually turn up this week.

Sonny is a good player.. having him on the bench for so long his debut would of just got him more nervous and that missed catch didn't help.

 

[adamkungl]

If this rain keeps up the stain dribblers tipping a 7000 crowd might not be far off...Roosters v Parra deserves a 15000 crowd really

 

[Timmah]

Apparently you guys were looking like taking Nick Kouparitsas off us... :lol:
