OT: Rorters have Monaghan?

[Shark]

Sterlo just announced on the Footy Show that Joel Monaghan has signed with the Rorters.

HOW can they possibly accommodate all this talent under their cap?

It's a dead-set joke.

 

[King of the Hill]

well
the salary cap auditor is a rooster
and no one can accuse them of anything in the media because theyve got a litigation lawyer as their deputy chairman
they have the head of channel 9 on the board
and their 'director of football' gets paid by fairfax

i think news ltd should do some digging

 

[lolesi]

Im amazed at how Parra can be under the cap with all the players they have brought, and they have offload hardly anyone!
Yet.

 

[imasharkie]

Roosters are the joke of the league.
How can it be that they are under the cap :lol: :lol: :lol:
surely they jest.

 

[beekershark]

news is not allowed to dig............or the football director will swear and moan at his next press conference and accuse them of being " unfair"

 

[spirit of league]

they have offloaded quite a few for next year including fittler, hodges, hegarty, cusack (i think)

that would give them bit of room under the cap, i should think. especially freddy

they reason they win is becasue they are coached well and play footy with focus, discipline, teamwork and desire.

i still can't stand them but that's just that

What about all the REP players in their ranks though SoL?

Quite often, when a bloke makes Rep footy, he (quite rightly) earns a contract upgrade.

How many rep players are there now, even forgetting the blokes you have mentioned?

Fitzgibbon
Wing
Mini
Finch
Morley
Hindmarsh?

Any I have forgotten?

In any case, there's $2m just there alone.

 

[dreary]

the thing is, the roosters should need to upgrade contracts for players that have become SOO class, this is what is killing StGeorge but and to a lesser degree the Dogs but the roosters keep buying.
Some very creative accounting especially with the added burdon of the cost of living in the eastern suburbs that should be taken into account by any new employee thinking about moving there.

 

[carcharias]

Any I have forgotten?

Croker ( Aus) (QLD)
Cayless (NZ)
Walker (QLD)
Flannery (QLD)

How much does it cost to stay in a backpackers a week?

 

[King of the Hill]

Any I have forgotten?

Yes
These are their current or recent rep players:

Adrian Morley, Anthony Minichiello, Brad Fittler, Brett Finch, Chris Flannery, Chris Walker, Craig Fitzgibbon, Craig Wing, Jason Cayless, Justin Hodges, Luke Ricketson, Michael Crocker,Shannon Hegarty

Out of which you can make a nice starting 13 that would be worth a fortune:

1. Minichiello
2. Walker
3. Hodges
4. Wing
5. Hegarty
6. Fittler
7. Finch

13. Ricketson
12. Flannery
11. Fitzgibbon
10. Cayless
9. Crocker
8. Morley

Not to mention other in demand players being in the squad like Phillips and Cross, and players they keep talking up like Tupou and other young blokes. And I heard Gould last talking up the fact that their Flegg side is undefeated - is it any wonder, they steal juniors from the other clubs and pay them a ridiculous amount for what kids should earn.

 

[carcharias]

Their first game this year had from memory 12 rep players in the starting line up...

Yeah they are under the cap :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
f**k em cheating merkins

 

[Shark]

So again, it begs the question...How is THAT squad, even without Fittler, Hodges, Hegarty, worth less than $3.25M????

:roll: :roll: :roll:

I know it costs about $30 per night so about $210 per week as long as you are willing to put up with 8 other blokes in the same dorm room snoring.

I think it is more likely they are setup with a nice pad overlooking Tamarama beach for the grand sum of $50 per week or some similar dodgy deal.
