Central Coast Rabbitohs

[Southern Rooster]

Answer the question ingoramus

is your club bigger than the game ?

Of course not but what has RC suggested to say that it is. Just remember the Roosters have looked at merging with Souths previously and Souths (George Piggins) said "NO" George also suggested and Pappas has now suggested also that Souths would rather retire the cardinal and myrtle jumper than have it bastardised in a merger.

So RC is stating a fact when he states the Roosters and Rabbits will never merge. We have already seen what happens when bitter rivals merge (Manly and Norths) it doesn't work.

Now that Piggins is gone, why don't they ask them again??

For the good of the game.....

Because Pappas has now come out and said the same thing.

Also would it be for the good of the game. Manly and Norths certainly was supposed to be and it wasn't. We lost a foundation club in Norths and we have lost the Central Coast. Not Manly's fault but it is what happens when mergers between two clubs that are bitter rivals merge. They both want control as they have there own agenda's within the overall big picture.

RC if you dont want an answer, dont ask the question. re: about what I would do with the comment. ;-) I find it veruy frustrating that supporters rubbish an idea that may well be good for the survival of OUR game.

Why dismiss it if it may be for the good of the game, (not saying it will or wont be), who knows whats going to happen in 5 or so years.

Manly ambushed Norths, as it was written in the agreement of the joint venture that if the northern eagles went broke/folded the licence would revert to the Manly Waringah club. Looking back I cant really say that the manly heavy northern eagles board were intent of making it a financially secure club. Ambushed at 1000 paces and the only ones who did not see it were the norths board members.

 

[BuffaloRules]

I don't think Manly and Norths was ever really a merge was it??

Manly got the license, half the games at Brookvale, and the name "the eagles"...

What did Norths get??

If I was the Roosters, I wouldn't merge with anyone if it meant giving up the name or colours... why should they??

Would the Roosters even consider changing their name to South Sydney Roosters??

 

[MEE]

God theres a lot of bullshite on this board sometimes.

 

[_Johnsy]

bit close to the bone eagle ? :roll:

Find a copy of the agreement and see it for yourself.

North Sydney were broke they weren't going to be in the premiership anyway. They had no money. Manly wanted to test the waters at the Central Coast and if it failed make sure they could revert back to Manly.
North Sydney would have been out anyway. I can't see what Manly did wrong really.

 

[mightybears]

manly were short of cash, they "merged' to get the nrl handout, still didn't help' em enough, so now privately owned
they had no interest in the central coast

yes the criteria was rigged but norths missed the cut
should have done a souths, a lack of board heart, smarts and 1 judas

Norths had large debts and had a very bad year for income (gate takings).

Whether that means they could not of traded their way out of their troubles isn't certain.

I can't see what Manly did wrong really.

The perception is that they entered into the joint-venture with less than honorable intentions (ie: were willing to wait for it to collaps and then re-enter the Comp. as a stand-alone club)

again, whether that was the case or not is seems to be a matter of opinion .

 

[panther mark]

if i was in charge i would do
dragons to illawarra
dogs or parra to brisbane
souths to gold coast
bring in the bears
that would give you a 16 team comp and two and a halve teams out of sydney

sorry if people dont like it but thats what i would do

Souths can't compete with the Roosters

I'm assuming your basing your comments on the NRL table and crowd attendance, as Souths have it all over the Rooster's in other area's corporate sponsorship, juniors etc. Once the mighty rooters slid down the table were will your fans be then? History shows fans can be quite fickle when there team no longer performs. As for the bunnies, once we taste a little success the pressure will be on the rooters!

Rubbish. If that's the case then why are Souths broke. I'll let you in on a little secret. It's not 1971 anymore, Souths are not a leading club, in fact they are the bottom of the pile. The Roosters have it all over Souths in every sense. The only thing that you outdo us in is wooden spoons won.

And the number of premierships won... and Souths have some soul...whereas Roosters have none. Sure, these things don;t win us games but seeing as this thread is started by a rooster supporter the undeniable hint that Souths are a threat is noted.

Richo has a huge challenge on his hands and any thought of re-location has been well of the agenda by both the CEO and the Chairman of the Football Club. In fact there are more reasons for Roosters to move to CC than the Rabbitohs. Considering we've always had "Sydney" as part of our name that's where our identity is etched.

Perhaps the next time the Roosters re-invent themselves for marketing reasons they can pack up and move. I know who the league fans would prefer at the CC.... a winning team. AKA The Roosters.

By merit of SS's position on the table and the massive backing we get from the high end of town, by law of averages, the Bunnies are by far the most marketable team in the comp.

SS loss last year was one of the lowest amongst those who traded at a loss. Pretty darn good for a team that looks like winning the wooden spoon for the second year in a row. Sure, we are finding it tough and we'll turn the corner and those 10,000 rooster fairweather supports will be switching allegences soon enough.... probably starting from next year.

Cheers Cogburn for proving yet again that the Roosters will forever be under the Souths shadow.... I'll give you till the next century to catch up on premierships but I like to see the roosters wear the bridesmaid outfit yet again, if indeed they make it this year.

And what about Penrith to Wellington?

I bet you and the bandwagoners out at Penrith would like that.

You Souths supporters are like broken records. You all live for the past because your future is so fragile. You say that we re-invented ourselves. well when you consider how poorly we were going I'd say that was a great thing. Look where we are now. That's the trouble with Souths, your club refuses to move with the times and that's why you are stone motherless last every year. Cling onto your 20 premierships, which were won so long ago that most of the people on this earth weren't even alive. One day the Roosters will overhaul that but of course Souths will be dead and buried when that happens. BTW what massive backing are you talking about and what leads you to believe that Souths are the most marketable team. Your club's a joke, an embarressment and if your club's not carefull you will be spending your weekends watching Souths playing Ryde Eastwood at Redfern oval.

Bottom line is there is no easy solution. If clubs are not willing to make the hard decisions, I think the NRL may make it for them ??

Interesting times ahead.

Mate that is exactly what needs to happen if the game is to move forwards.
