This coming from a supporter of a team with no salary cap and guilty of poaching other clubs stars and most promising young talents. Nice.
Says the Penrith supporter.

How many established 1st graders in your best 17 were bought from other clubs?

From Roosters:

Fergo
Jennings
Maloney


From Penrith:

Idris
Whare
Soward
Kite
Segeyaro
Taylor
Manu
Peachey
Brown

That huge junior base and yet you're probably second only to the Dogs in terms of poaching players :D

JWH manly
tupou eels
moa hullfc via cronulla
guerra melbourne
hastings dragons
liu tigers
setu various
matagi and aukeiaho warriors
mcillwrick raiders

just because they didn't make their 1st grade debuts doesn't mean they weren't bought FROM another club

None of those players players were established first graders.

Most were unwanted.

JWH, guerra, hastings, mcilwrick i can say definitively that's wrong, their past clubs accepted losing them begrudgingly, especially guerra

even if so, your statement is still wrong

Mcilwrick was part of a swap deal for FPN, he was surplus to requirements for the Raiders, therefore unwanted.

JWH, Guerra and Hastings are the only ones you can make a case for, and even then when they came here they had a combined FG career of 5 games, Hastings and Guerra hadn't even debuted yet.

We're no worse then most clubs and better then a lot.

um no, the roosters originally didn't want to include mcilwrick in the deal, the offered another player instead, the roosters insisted if they wanted FPN

your original list is still wrong....very wrong

What? That makes no sense, we wanted Mcilwrick because we couldn't get Srama from the Titans. Why would we take someone we didn't want?

Also I never made a list?

I meant the raiders originally didn't want to let go off mcillwrick

And your roosters buddy made that list

It doesn't matter that guerra hadn't debut, Bellamy wanted to keep him and fumed when the c**ks poached him

Do you just make this stuff up? JWH alone had 6. Worst player for my club to allow to sign elsewhere IMO. He would have dislodged Kite or King in 2010.

This whole concept of signing players is something people need to get over. It is only going to become more common. Talent is spread thin, and the need for success from all clubs is too strong.

They still released him to us, couldn't have been too important.

Bellamy fumes over everything, you're saying it as if no other club poaches.

And JWH alone had only played FG.

JWH, unwanted journeyman of 6 NRL games saved and developed into an NRL talent by a scrapping Roosters team. Peachey, established NRL superstar of 7 games experience, poached by the silver spoon Panthers.

Roosters logic 101.

Is this the confirmed signings thread or another Roosters salary cap / juniors chat that belongs elsewhere ?

Apologies.

It's just the easiest way to rustle a whole bunch of jimmies on this forum. This line of discussion gets them frothing all the time!
