Biggest “Classic Sydney City Roosters” Moment

I love these kinds of threads.

My classic "Roosters Moment" is in the 2010 grand final when Dean Young clearly bobbles the ball into the arm of Mitchell Aubisson, regathers and scores which gets sent up to the video ref.
After almost a dozen views, it then gets awarded BOD try which clears the stands of Roosters fans and ends any hope of a fairytale.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Of 100 Penrith juniors who have gone elsewhere, you've picked the 3 who turned out to be any good, all of them the best part of a decade ago. RCG is too soon to tell. All went for their own reasons. Graham is really the only one that was poor judgement, the other two (and RCG as well) wanted to leave and played accordingly. There's not much you can do when that happens.

Fair enough.

The moment I personally feel just summed the Roosters up was a bit of empty one, for a number of reasons.

2019 GF, there with my mates and family. Great atmosphere, a pulsating game with a number of exciting and controversial moments (the fact they all skewed Roosters isn't even my main point).

It's just that afterwards- no passion from the Roosters fans in the ground. Most of them even left immediately for the train, if not a minute early. A premiership won by a team with a barely fan base that barely cared. No scenes, no tears, no hollering, no "lets go party 'til January!!!", just a humdrum trip back to Randwick & Vaucluse... for the games hollow men.

Yeah, a Raiders fan saying that EASTS lack a soul! Blimey. I would have found some comfort in being beaten by a club that cared, that mattered. I could have gazed at the jubilation, the hugging, the f**k YEAH and had a pang of jealously and imagine it might one day be my clubs turn again. But there was just grey, characterless ho hum.

That's the Roosters for ya.

Hahahaha. Nice attempt at writing something credible but sadly you’ve come up short just like your raiders. Maybe your butt hurt skewed your sense of reality.

Nah, for many of us we were in a rush to get back to Easts Leagues Club to party there with the players and fellow supporters.

Sadly this is exactly how I remember it.

They'd had a charmed run to get there. They were never beating the Drags.

100% agree yet they still needed some massive leg ups to get over the line

A pretty below par attempt at trolling.

I was in the Roosters stands and the place was a sea of red, white and blue that was absolutely rocking when Tedesco scored and at full time.

Canberra fans made a big clapping sound at the start when Big Mal blew the horn; but then I didn't notice them at all after that tbh. I just assumed they left after the Viking Clap to catch the early train back to Fyshwick.

 

[Silent Knight]

My favourite Roosters moment was when Albert Rosenfeld talked up Remi Casty on here like he was the second coming of Artie Beetson when in reality he was just a bog average frog.

The pea fell out of Mal’s big whistle when Cummins attempt to give them a bs 6 again was rightly overturned

 

[BadnMean]

My new favourite Roosters moment might be the sense of entitlement which makes the 3 Roosters fans tell other footy fans that their own personal "classic Roosters moment" is nah isn't so, you are!

Classic Roosters.

aaahhh the memories. Rosenfeld, Capdouze, Stevo the stevo, Timoteo . . . all the loonies.
And to think that I was blamed for getting rid of Albert.

Whatever happened to Albert

As far as i can tell he owns the only "my team are specials to win the comp" thread that actually turned out to be true on LU.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Meh Roosters have only won 3 of the past 7 Grand Finals,if they were any good they would have won all 7

That thread is a classic.

After we lost to the Dragons on Anzac Day 2018 they were declared April Premiers and we were written off

They were the best of times. They were the most amusing of times.

There have been some classic roosters 'are no hope' moments during the last 3 premierships.

Do you remember when SBW was the biggest dud buy ever, maloney was average and robbo couldn't coach in February 2013?

Newcastle giving us a touch up last year was another one.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Roosters best moment was winning the Grand Final in 2002 against the Warriors when Craig Fitzgibbon still had hair,once he went bald the Roosters didn't win another comp,proves me correct once again on the dreaded bald curse
