Roberts joins the $1m club

By Chris Stedman
July 06, 2004
AMOS ROBERTS has signed a four-year contract with premiership favourites Sydney Roosters worth more than $1 million.

Roberts, 23, the NRL's leading tryscorer this season with 16 will leave premiers Penrith after being discarded by St George Illawarra last year.

Penrith were keen to retain the utility back, but the length of the deal and proximity to his home at Rockdale were major factors in the decision.

It's believed he will receive in excess of $250,000 a season from the Roosters.

Club chief executive Brian Canavan said the club, which has signed St George Illawarra halfback Brett Firman, had not given Roberts any guarantee where he would play.


"We have signed Amos without any stipulation and in fact that's his preference. He's a genuine utility player and he's quite happy to be known as such," Canavan said.

Roberts' signing cleared the way for Justin Hodges to sign a three-year contract last night to return to Brisbane.

Roberts virtually completes the Roosters' playing roster for next season with only veteran Luke Ricketson yet to sign a new deal.

But the 31-year-old former Test forward has an in-principle agreement to extend his career into a 15th season at the one club.

Cue Rooster supporters disputing the $ value but failing to provide evidence to the contrary.

Haven't you heard ?

When the article is posted in a respected paper by a journalist who puts his name to the article, we are to ignore it and disregard it.

The nameless Rooster apologists on this site are a much more reputable source and they say the numbers are BS :roll:

"It's believed he will receive in excess of $250,000 a season from the Roosters"....says it all really...

The point is dirty cheating dog, that you and I dont really know. Same can be said of the twerp from the Australian newspaper that wrote this.

There's no arguement here.....because once again there are no real figures disclosed.

I believe a lot of things about the Dogs and Coffs Harbour...but it doesnt make it correct or accurate does it? Or maybe we can make the exception for the Dirty Dogs?

Gee - what a surprise. DJ1 making a post relating to te roosters.

And even more of a surprise - taxidriver attracted like a moth to a flame.

Give it a few more minutes and Stgillaman will no doubt add his insights as well.

:roll: :roll:

Alls fair in love and war and the player market I say. Good buy Roosters, but i just dont know how good a purchase he will be for $250+

If you get Monaghan, which i think you will, that is really going to be a special backline next year that will give it too a few teams. But what i do see see is lots of pace, but not much grunt in that backline.

1. Minichello
2. Walker
3. Monaghan
4. Cross
5. Roberts
6. Firman
7. Finch

I think they are playing into the hands of these teams

1. Pattern
2. Lolesi
3. Harris
4. Tonga
5. El Masri
6. Anasta
7. Sherwin

and....

1. Hunt
2. Frawley
3. Hodges
4. Tate
5.
6. Lockyer
7. Berriagn

and also

1. Seage
2. Tahu
3. Gidley
4. Hughes
5. Quinn
6. Gidley
7. Johns

Out of the above mentioned teams i think that the roosters is by far the smallest.

It's a 220k per year contract with a possibility of 250k if he represents.

Yes we now Amos and we have the best of contacts with him.

He is just short of the 1 Mill, I can not belive the Rorters are paying him that much money, But is it all above ??

Regardless, Amos Is worth it.

But he now earns more on the Contracts than, MINICHELLO, MORLEY, FITZGIBBON, and co.

That will surely cause some trouble..

I swear Ricketson re-signed on a 1 year deal and he cut some of his pay off so the Roosters could stay under the cap?
