I love how the Roosters fans have once again gone missing when their arguments have been shot to sh*t. I don't know why I expected any better.
Well unlike you most of us have a life and actually have other things to do bseides sitting in dark rooms on forums. This being the first time i have been on since yesterday afternoon i will answer your points
- Yes Canberra have more premierships over the last 30 years but that is not the only measure of success. The roosters have been in at least 5 grand finals that i know of ( I dont actually remember anything before 94 and cant be bothered looking up the exact figures), at least 2 minor premierships, at least 13 finals series and at least 1 club championship. How is that not sustained on field success. YOur club on the other hand has been in limited finals series since post super league and no one up to the age of 20 associates them with success.
- You obviously can not grasp the concept of the professional era. This is a professional sport, players go where the best deal for them is and the slary cap is the tool to make sure the talent is spread evenly. It is just that barely any quality players choose to go to canberra... i wonder why that might be??
- Shillington was used on the bench at the roosters because thats how they chose to use him. To say Canberra turned him into a test player is garbage, he was playing for Queensland whilst at the roosters. I have no problem with him leaving and doing what is best for him which was obviously a starting position at Canberra.
- Sorry i did forget Harrison was in the test. I appreciate you bringing it up though. Canberra has 2 test players, one a Queenslander, one a Kiwi. Next you will be telling us Mal Meninga was a Raiders junior!!!!
Don't get me wrong though i have no problem with Canberra having those players, it is part of the professional era.
