Anderson ---> Roosters

[tommytomlin]

What would happen to the Roosters if something happened to Nick Politis?

Just curious, as it seems the Roosters rely so much on this guy financially, and if somethign happened to him....I can't see how they'd be any better off then a team like Souths for an example?

Easts Leagues, Packer, Bouris. But Politis isn't the sugar-daddy of the Roosters. He's definitely pitched in when times were tough (the conveniently generous City Ford sponsorship), and to help sign players, but it's not like they'd go bankrupt within a few years of his hypothetical demise.

There is only ever 1 way to go when you win the wooden spoon...


Good luck though, if we still have Raper and Kimmorley next year you will definately finish higher than us.

Where did you get that idea from, they have one of the strongest leagues clubs and major sponsors on que unlike souths. Do you have any idea who sits on the board for the roosters!

Anderson had already been rejected as a coach by four teams this year... he definately made it known that he was available...had an interview with the Raiders, never progressed past that stage, Eels, Knights and Panthers all went elsewhere...

But hey, 5th time lucky I guess for the Roosters' 3rd choice as coach.

The toilets at easts leagues are worth more than souths...the roosters own bucket loads of property throughout australia..their income stream is not just limited to pokies like some clubs.

do you have proof that he offered his services to those clubs or do you just believe every media report that comes out??

I don't think he's as bad a coach as he's potrayed by most people here.

Thin on facts Skeepe.
- Eels never talked to nor considered Anderson. The Hagan deal was done months before it hit the media after the Knights told him he would not be resigned.
- Panthers never talked nor considered Anderson. They only chased one person, Elliott and got him at the 12th hr under the guard of the Knights.

Anderson did put himself up for the Knights and Raisers job.

And good luck with who is it, Heal Henry, new head-jobb coach next year??

Souffs and the wooden spoon will be sh!ttin themselves.
