Posted: Sun Dec 21, 2003 6:32 am Post subject: what long term benefit do the Roosters provide to the NRL?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) They have no juniors
2) They require millionaire backers to keep them successful
3) If they werent in the comp we could have both Central Coast and Gold Coasts in the competition who have a huge nursery of juniors.
4) They spend $80000 on 16 year olds e.g. Alberyt Hopoate from Wests to get them as part of their "development squad".
5) When they were crap for all those years in the 90s they simply made up the numbers in the competion and it required a super league war to get Fittler to the club and the results of Super league and the rationalisation of the competition and therefore exclusion of South Sydney got Craig Wing to the club who virtually won them the comp in 2002.
If we got rid of them the following would happen
1) No juniors will be effected and the very few the roosters have will go to south sydney.
2) you may lose 10000 to 12000 roosters fans forever from the game but instead gain 32000 fans to the game through the Gold coast and Central coast teams.
