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.
