$BW to Roosters in 2013

[sputneek]

The dogs made sbw lose 5 years of his life while he could have been playing nrl. He will reach his potential and exceed it at the Sydney Roosters (Easts)

exactly. like anasta, myles, o'meley, mason etc all did, like they all tasted titles like in 04. oh wait.

i know myles didnt play in the 04 team too just making a point.

If you think winning a premiership epitomises potential you are sadly mistaken

 

[AuDragon]

Everyone knows that honor and integrity are not part of $BW's vocabulary (and it has nothing to do with his English language limitations), but this certainly clarified that they're not in the chooks dictionary either... :roll:

only thing sadly mistaken is you. he is a gun no doubt about it.however as you should know by now signing dog players has worked wonders for your club. 3 of them couldn't wait to get out of the sh1thole and the other is going to be shat on by your club after being loyal through all the crap.

If it wasn't us somebody else would have went for him.

If you think a few players define a club with a history of over 100 years your ignorance amazes me. Not only that but the support of your own club must be so shallow.

That's probably what I'd be telling myself if he was being signed by the Broncos... ;-)

Wouldn't make it any better though. :?

The roosters haven't lost a grand final for a few years. Makes sense that they'd splash out some cash for this child. Consistently throwing money at dickheads is a lot easier than producing your own juniors.

Oh god, there's always someone that shows a god awful lack of knowledge and brings this shit up in every thread involving the Roosters.

How many players in the current first grade team at Easts have played first grade elsewhere? How many have been signed to other clubs? How many do other clubs have in their teams?

I remember seeing a thread here a year or so ago that listed players in first grade that had only played for one club and the Roosters were dead set middle of the pack.

If you're talking about junior development for clubs that appear under our wider umbrella then you would be aware that we have four - yes four teams that represent Easts in the South Sydney competition. Thats it.

Most of our "juniors area" is either Rugby Union or Soccer. The VAST majority of our area that is League playing areas in our original area - Maroubra, Coogee, Kensington and Randwick were taken from Easts in a border re-arrangement and given to Souths. Half of Souths "juniors" that make first grade come from the areas taken from Easts. We didnt give the areas up and we petitioned on a number of occasions to have them returned. They werent. That isnt our fault.

Find another imaginary reason to hate us - this one is fiction and it's f**king boring. Anyone who brings it up merely shows themselves as lacking any form of thought. It's the Rugby League equivalent of calling someone a racist to try and win a political arguement.

 

[sputneek]

There's no point arguing with them but I wonder where they think juniors from regional areas should play considering the argument is that all players need to play for clubs that represent the area they played their junior footy.

It's not a few players that do, but the club's actions...

I can go past the behaviour of individuals like Nate Myles or Todd Carney, to speak of the most recent players who shamed your club, or Thaiday, Boyd or cutie in my club's case, as long as the club's management doesn't condone it.

Signing $BW is implicitly doing exactly that, so in that way it does define the club's policy and values at this moment, whether you like it or not.

This won't go down as one of the Roosters finest moments in history...

The NRL has a transfer market, get used to it trolls.

Jake Friend proved how young players can change. Sonny doesn't have the history Todd has.

The Roosters stood Friend down, and reinstated him after rehabilitation, which is something I have no problems with.
Carney looked like he was past his drinking issues when the Roosters signed him. Once again, I can live with that, but honestly after 2011, I am amazed he got another chance.

$BW is a whole different kettle of fish though, he deliberately screwed a club for whom he had just signed a 5 year contract, which he then breached and fled the country to avoid the consequences.

Even if it was for solidarity only, I wouldn't come near him, and I feel the NRL should put their foot down to make sure no one else thinks he can get away with walking out on a contract...

So what you're saying is the single signing of SBW overrides everything else that has gone on?

If the rumours are true and SBW does arrive at our club along with Maloney in 2013 they'll be the only 2 players in our starting 13 that didn't debut at the club. So effectively what you're saying is one mans decision 5 years ago will define our playing group it will also define the clubs policies and values towards recruitment and retention showing a total disregard to the evidence quite clearly showing the contrary.

Signing him doesn't mean we support nor represent his opinions and beliefs and nor should it for any club, that's the most sensationalised piece of crap I've read since I last read a Rothfield column 2 years ago.

Sure, whatever you say.

The Roosters board regards integrity and honor highly, but will sign someone who craps on those values anyway. I guess other "values" are a little bit more important... :sarcasm:

If you keep rationalising it, you might even start believing it yourself. :roll:

:lol:
The irony is delicious. Love it when little brother gets all defensive when someone brings up valid criticisms of your team. And then to defend yourself your rehash that BS argument.

If you pricks didn't steal our players we wouldn't haven't gotten your territory. And you use that to defend yourself?

Back on topic:

Guys, don't stress. Dave has it all handled...

NRL boss David Gallop would seek assurances from Sonny Bill Williams that he would never again walk out on a contract should he rejoin the rugby league competition.

http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...turns-to-the-nrl/story-e6frexnr-1226234432879

Good ole Dave is going to get him to promise not to do exactly what he's already done and then it'll be all sweet. I'm sure it'll be a pinky promise.

FMD, I just have a feeling it'll end up as a disaster for the comp.

Gallop is a knob :lol:

Not sure why you've quoted the word values?

Seeing as you refuse to argue against my whole point let me ask you this, is every past action a reflection of the club/chairman/coach when any individual signs with a team.

For example where does someone like Bennett/Tinkler/Knights stand on signing someone like Laurie. When does it stop becoming a reflection of their beliefs and values to providing someone with a chance to redeem themselves?

Lets face it if you remove the reputation of the player this is just a decision that clubs make every day whether it's a youngster or marquee signing. It's a little ignorant to think that other clubs are above this sort of decision making process where football ability will always win out (after all that's their main objective, i.e building a successful team).
