I can hear radios/tvs switching off from Tassie to Townsville.
Chill Rex, your team'll probably win the GF this year.

Southern Rooster said:Another bit of irony is on day 1 in the NSWRL premiership in 1908 they played each other with the Roosters winning 32-16.

Here's a tip. We've also had "relationships" with Souths and the Warriors.
Scandalous!

Jeffles said:Newtown are not a whore club.
Jeffles said:Each time a feeder arrangement - which by the way is much less a partnership than your merged scum - has ended, it has been the fault of another club.
Jeffles said:Warriors - changed owners. The new owners wanted to keep their reggies in NZ.
Jeffles said:Souths - Souths Juniors funded their own team in the Jim Beam Cup with a view to being Souiths PL team (which they are now). As a result the Juniors asked the Seniors to end the Newtown deal. The Juniors had the threat of funding withdrawal hanging over the head of the Juniors.
Jeffles said:Cronulla - it was only ever a one year deal and the 2006 deal Cronulla wanted was a big departure from the current deal, one that Newtown could not deal with financially or philisophically.
Jeffles said:Next year we will still be known as Newtown Jets. NO NAME CHANGE, NO MERGER.
Jeffles said:1) "Philisophically" means there were some parts of the agreement - that were not financial matters - that Newtown could not agree with. I'm not going to tell you what they were because it is none of your business.
Jeffles said:2) Singo is not our "benefactor". He is our Patron which is an honourary position. Just like John Howard is not a benefactor for the Dragons. Singo is just a high profile supporter.
Jeffles said:3) Just because a club seeks an improved financial position does not make it a whore. Again I am forced to bring up Wests Tigers. I won't call them whores for moving home ground for financial reasons. Nor did I call them whores when Balmain gave Ryde half of its PL side. A club is not a whore for looking after its interests. A whore would sell its soul. Newtown still has its identity, more than I can say for other clubs.

:lol:
i.e. They don't exist.
So he hasn't any money invested in Newtown?
Singo is a boofhead. He was useful to the Jets 25 years ago, now he's a liabuility whether he's your benefactor, patron or dishwasher.
You're as bad as the teams you happily call merged scum. Teams that merged to save themselves from becoming like Newtown.
Big Mick © said:Oh great
Now Politis AND Singleton.
Roosters can buy an even better team now.
Jeffles said:I disagree. What do Wests have to show for themselves now? A club that everyone calls the Tigers, a club that looks to Pearce, Sironen and Elias instread of Donnelly, Raudonikis and Boyd when it talks about its "Legends" and a club that is proud to boast the "tradition" of playing at Leichhardt and not Campbelltown.
Wests Magpies fans are in the same boat as Newtown fans. Their ownership of the Wests Tigers is illusory. WT are Balmain in disguise.
weasel said:Smart move by the Jets, were never gonna win anything in an association with the Sharks. Also, I'd been planning to get one of those retro newtown jerseys last year, until their partnership with Cronulla was announced, now I can put it back on the agenda without feeling dirty.

You're battling to understand why someone would consider your club a whore?
Gimme a break, your club is a whore. Your club is the Heidi Fleiss of Australian Rugby League.
I can just see the weeks before the Roosters deal ends:
Newtown : "Hi there Souths you big hunka Footy Club..."
