$BW to Roosters in 2013

More like Mason, O'meley, SBW, Anasta, Myles, Kouparitis

Just quietly, not only was O'meley not a local junior but he played 50 games for the Northern Eagles & North Sydney. Claiming him as one of yours is a bit of a laugh tbh.

Not only that but poached by a club cheating the cap, losing/signing players is part and parcel of the game but but complaining about losing a player whose signing was only possible because of some creative accounting is a joke. Some might call it karma...

What does Trent Barrett have to do with this?

lol. The point I was trying to make was for 800k the Roosters would be getting a player who wouldn't be spending too much time on the field. At his best though, SBW is just awesome to watch and would get a few more fans through the gate.

I've not once claimed O'Meley as our own product, i've simply pointed out he is one of the 6 dogs your club poached.

Haha I know mate, couldn't resist the Barrett comment.

Will be interesting to see if SBW is worth what we're allegedly paying for him, at any rate...

You honestly for one second don't believe the roosters were in Masons ear?

Turn it up you nuffie.

Don't forget SBW, Nick told him to go cool his heels in Union for a few years and then we'll sign him up.

You're right... what was I thinking. It's all a big conspiracy against the dogs :lol:

O'Meley that you got from Northern Eagles?
Anasta you got by paying overs from Souffs who had to leave the Dogs because they topped up SBW contract?
SBW that we may sign from NZRU who hasn't played NRL for nearly 4 years?

Honestly why the f**k are you too arguing over who steals more players, im not saying this to be insulting but both your clubs would be close to the top of the poaching players lists, accept it and move on.

This is a bit like Willie Mason and Todd Carney arguing over who's a bigger dickhead.

The Titans and Sharks would be higher than easts, in fact most clubs would be higher than easts for 2012.

What? When have we argued that we 'steal' less players?

I think we're quite aware that the Roosters (over the past decade) would probably be at the top, who has said otherwise?

Do you agree with the general consensus that the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs have bred some of the greatest players of the decade including Queenslander Nate Myles, New Zealands Sonny Bill Williams and Newcastles Willie Mason

Amusement value. We've copped this shit for years, it's very satisfying to throw it back in the Bullcheats hypocritical faces.

That's easy. Mason.

Purely from a business sense is $800k a good investment? Will he
A) Bring more fans through the gate
B) Make Roosters a GF team
C) Entice more corporates on board

Not sure he really ticks any of those boxes that strongly so $800k for an ageing forward with injury prone history and a lot of baggage seems somewhat of a bad investment.

William Hopoate is also on 800k apparently when he returns in 2014. Does he tick the same boxes for the Eels? Why are people ignoring the significant rise of the salary cap...
