Roosters dump Newtown Jets

[Brutus]

Lets hope Souths dump Norths and go with the mighty Bluebags.

You know it makes sense.

Roosters have gone with Wyong as their feeder/NSW Cup team.

Roosters - scum of the earth. Dead set. Another kick in the guts for Newtown.

One question - why?

Pricks

One question - why?

They want the Central Coast/Lower Hunter juniors.

 

[nick87]

its their prerogative to do as they please with their feeder system
they dont owe Newtown anything and they aren't obliged to continue the assosiation if they think another option is best for their footy club

what's the problem?

 

[Noname36]

what's the problem?

They've flicked a proud foundation club that's fighting it's arse off to keep a bit of recognition...with little warning it seems based on the comments from Newtown. The Jets had the opportunity to link up with Melbourne but they didn't assuming they had a good thing going with the Roosters.

Yes the Roosters can do whatever they want, but still it's hard to stomach as a rugby league fan.

I love the Jets. I dislike Easts.

seems very all your eggs in one basket, hopefully the Storm will jump at the chance opened up.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I was hoping the Roosters would link with Wyong. They have been bitching about having no juniors for a while, so the central coast region is perfect; this NSW Cup move will probably work to develop support in the region...

(if they are looking to do this, it would be a good move for the Roosters to take a few games to Gosford. Knights, Manly, games that draw poorly in Sydney but would resonate in the CC)

Roosters should just relocate to the Central Coast.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Its a shame about the Jets though...

I had always hoped the Roosters & Jets would officially marry (Dragons/Steelers style) and bring back the old BlueBags jersey as the away strip. Easts wouldnt lose much power (if any at all) but they would broaden their appear and connect with a larger base. (Everyone has a soft spot for Newtown)

Im sure another team would jump at this, hopefully the Storm. Jets wont be gone for long...

Very disappointing. Even though I see some logic from the decision it sounds like there was bugger all consultation. I thought this relationship would go very long term. What made it extra special was the fact they were both foundation clubs and that comment from Mitch AUBUSSON summed up that special relationship. The Broncos use a few clubs in Qld Cup, hopefully someone else will see the benefit of getting the old bluebags on board also.

Maybe this is the start of a relocation for the roosters?

 

[Burwood]

But what will all the hipster Rooster supporters wear now??

Lets hope Souths dump Norths and go with the mighty Bluebags.

It does but the Norths partnership has been very fruitful too (until this year). Would be poor of us to dump them.

As for the rorters, they're just being true to form.

One question - why?

Jealous of the Newtown crowds

I think this is the first time ive ever heard someone complain that the Roosters are doing TO MUCH in junior development...
