Roosters Out of Junior Comps

[Sonic Star]

LOL I'm not expecting any genius roosters fans to come out and say anything with meaning.

I expected Dribble and that's what I recieved :lol:

Roosters are a Leech sucking on the NRL and their fans are nothing but Lemmings following them off the cliff :lol:

Joke of the League.

unless the nrl give concessions to clubs that put a lot of money into juniors.Clubs like Penrith and Parramatta should also not put sides in the junior competitions.Lets see how the rooters go then

Is the benefit of having easy access to players like Krisnan Inu, not having to pay overs and relocate them, not having to put as much time and money into scouring country NSW and QLD not enough benefit to having a massive junior nursery?

Roosters f**ked up no juniors leech on RL GFs since the return of the Pride of the League - 3

Pride of the League wooden spoons since ungraciously dragging themselves back into existence - 3

Penrith pour millions into there junior league .Why should they.There is no benifit to the senior team if they are poached by clubs who do not one thing to promote league.And if you think it will not happen it may be closer than most think .The roosters have given the green light to all clubs to do the same

The A.T.O. brought in a raft of tax increases that excludes casinos and hotels yet imposes them on social clubs that sponser charities needy groups in their local communities. News Ltd. fills pages daily with anti labor rhetoric yet seems to tacitly approve the state`s imposition on working people`s sport and recreation, I believe some Sydney clubs will be weeded out within three years.

The ATO don't bring in any taxes and they don't have anything whatsoever to do with poker machine tax.

The state government needs money for a whole host of things. Pokie tax wasn't intended to penalise rugby league, its just that Sydney clubs are so reliant on poker machine revenue to survive that they are feeling the pinch now.

Its up to the clubs to explore other ways to make money. Thats what the CEO's and all their staff are employed for.

Come back when your club isn't the butt of every joke.

Not the butt of this joke, that would be Roosters inc., so I'd say he's right to come on in.

Are the Roosters even a club anymore if they don't support anything but the big money stuff?? Or a corporate franchise run out of a gambling den?

sh*t, the Melbourne Bruise might be doing more for grass roots footy.

the notion of juniors being tied to a club is very quaint.

as soon as they're old enough they piss off to the highest bidder anyway. What's the point?

these clubs spend $$$ developing these players and then it gets to the time for a contract, whoever offers the most money, there goes the player.

If anyone thinks there's any loyalty from player to club and club to player, please see a doctor. It doesn't exist. If your a Souths jnr fullback, souths won't sign him if they think they can find a better guy in group 15, or someone from St Mary's or Newcastle or if they have enough money, throw it at Stewart or Slater. Canterbury have a spot and then sign the guy. he plays there for a while, gets offered more money at Penrith plays there for a bit, goes to England, come back to Parra and then retires.

The clubs and the players do whatever is best for their own interests.

I don't have a solution, but the clubs developing guys most of who will either not make it or go to the highest bidder anyway seems a waste of money to me.

 

[murraymob]

so why should clubs spend money developing juniors i agree .Lets just do as the roosters do and not put any money in

 

[sass]

that's exactly the point murray! the way league works now means that there isn't that big an advantage to pouring money into juniors - but as clubs turn off the cash or boot juniors altogether it damages league as a whole. the burden's on the nrl to find ways to encourage clubs to want to keep them.

Useless merkins.

Yes, let's stop supporting junior league because kids will leave and chase the big dollars, usually at clubs with FA junior competition.

*cough*easts!*cough*

You know, if every club supported a large cache of junior clubs, there wouldn't be so much need to poach other clubs local boys.

You are right - but I also think that each club at the top level should have some minimum it needs to do for junior development in order that there is a future for the game.

This could be as simple as requiring each NRL club to have a junior representitive team at ages U16, U18 and U20.

As has been said - if all of the NRL clubs take the stance of the Roosters then the next batch of players coming through will be pretty poor

Reading this is exactly the Roosters mentality.

If it doesn't benefit their NRL team why bother.

You think that justifies what they do, Hell no.

Here is a good reason it's for the F**cking kids!!
Some where they can play football and dream of making it to the NRL and playing for their favourite team.

Doing something right, what is wrong with that?

If all clubs thought like the Roosters and pulled out all their junior teams there will be no more grass roots in the game.

Kids will have no game to play, they will go play Soccer or AFL instead.

Your argument is the entire problem. Not everything has to be about money it's about doing what's right for the game and its future. Something the Roosters don't give a sh*t about.

[Frailty]

What will evenutally happen is that the entire Junior Competitions will be funded by the NRL (After News gets out) and it will set up a draft system similar to the AFL.

 

[ozzy_ozman]

roosters best choice is either to re-locate up north to CC or stay and die in the eastern suburbs where AFL and Rugby Union are taking over

 

[OVP]

You remind me of Cletus the slack jaw yokel :lol:
