Nick Politis is the entrepreneurial genius of the NRL.

[Silent Knight]

Nick Politis. Sensational.

Nick Politis, first Greek - Australian to watch Remi Casty become the first Frenchman to score a try in an NRL game.

 

[Cockosh]

Nick Politis presides over the only club from any major sport in Australia (ever) where they operate in a codes heartland city but are getting beaten handily by a team from a rival code operating out of the same precinct.

Yes because all 34,000 Swans fans that watched them this year are from the Eastern Suburbs and Easts are the only Sydney club competing with them. Maybe we should sell our souls, run away and move to Homebush. We regularly get 83,000 there.

I think the NRL should have a golden statue of Uncle Nick outside their headquarters

 

[Perth Red]

Roosters had a consolidated revenue last year (ie NRL club plus all its other entities) of $71.4mill and a profit of $3.3mill. Total assets $82.5mill
Its a shame all NRL clubs arent so well run!

As an NRL club alone their revenue of $21mill is made up of:
663k Merchandise
2.1mill gate receipts
7.3mill sponsorship and hospitality
1.7mill membership
8.3mill NRL grant
900k other

Is the Roosters forum broken again?

 

[El Diablo]

Any numpty can sign players.

Perth can't

They Should rename Bondi to Athens to honour the Golden Greek.....

In Greece the locals actually refer to Bondi as the Athens of the south, largely because of the legendary exploits of the great but humble man they call Nick the Greek.

I'm staggered that nobody but Politis realised Fittler, Morely, Sonny-Bill, Tedesco, Cronk, and Keary were really good players...

How does he manage that shit - eye for talent is understating it

Every player on your list were well known to be good, if not the best players available in their position at the time. He doesn't have an eye for talent that nobody else has. He just knows how to buy already great players.

Fittler - Played both Origin and tests well before joining the Roosters
Morley - Played numerous tests for Great Britain before the Roosters
Sonny-Bill - Played tests for New Zealand in League as well as All Blacks before signing with the Roosters and was arguably the most sought after signature around at the time.
Tedesco - Played Origin for NSW
Cronk - Number one half back in the game
Keary - Premiership winner.

Uncle Nick has made moussaka a staple item at the Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club bistro. It is so popular that the Serbs from Manly -- Tom and Jake Trbojevic -- travel across the harbour bridge once a week to savour the flavour on Spring Street. This has also encouraged the Serb from Canberra, Nikola Cotric to travel up the highway to Sydney just to try the delicacy. Such is the strength of the Serb-Greek alliance that is making the Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club bistro a huge culinary and financial success.

Thanks Uncle Nick.

 

[Life's Good]

Saint Nick(Claus)>>Uncle Nick.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

The Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club bistro is one of the unknown culinary delights of Sydney. This shows the entrepreneurial skill of Uncle Nick, and proves that he is not just a connoisseur of rugby league talent.

Can the mods kick this offseason troll fest to the cave???

Go to hell you bigot. Nick Politis is the most powerful club chairman in the NRL today, and deserves his own thread.
