Roosters Players Loyalty

[malabar]

Ive spoken to more than 1 Roosters senior players who stated that Rooster managements attitude to loyalty is of the style " Do as I say not as I do " that is, they expect loyalty but offer none in return. True it is a professional sport, a business in fact, but it is a TEAM sport and Id say management has lost sight of that, maybe time to look deeper at yourselves Rooster Management, it may shed light into Mitchells situation

They should have promoted Soward. Hes much better than Pearce.

 

[adamkungl]

Mitchel has a situation? More like that useless ranga excuse for a journalist has brain damage

That's really interesting, which senior players did you talk to?

Minichiello - sat out for 3 seasons injured, could've thrown him away ages ago if they wanted to.

Mason - doubt he'd have much to say on the matter of loyalty

Fitzgibbon - can't speak highly enough of the club

Anasta - No that's right, the club stuck by him through the overrated tag and all

I'm really struggling here to see what player you are talking about?

You say it may shed some light on Mitchell's case, interesting seeing as the club have been trying to tie him up into a long term contract for quite some time now.

Maybe you shuold shed some more light on what you are trying to say because you seem a little tongue in cheek.

next time tell us stories which actually happened ...

can you get any more loyal than minichiello's situation? ... he's played in what, under half the games he was supposed to in the last 3 years yet canavan said under circumstances will he NOT be punted out to go to union ... seems like loyalty to me ...

canavan said mason and o'meley also wouldn't released early from their contracts even when english teams were scouting them ... minichiello also was part of this rumour ... that's three pretty big chunks of the salary cap yet canavan again said under no circumstances and the players also returned serve ...

fitzgibbon was given a one year contract when he could easily have been dumped and snapped up by penrith or english super league and considering he will end next season at 32 and his old legs certainly were showing at the back end of last season i think he was shown some loyalty there ...

who did you talk to? anthony tupou? ... the man took slightly more money at the sharks than what he was offered ... did you speak to craig wing? ... ultimately it came down to craig not wanting to have to go through contract negotiations and having a 4 year contract would have settled his future instead of 2 years with an option for a further ...

did you speak to david shillington? ... two doesn't go into one and shillington only got a run this year because shackleton injured himself in a trial against the tigers ... shacks has been earmarked for some time as a player of the future and shillington was effectively a fill in ... if shacks had been fit the last year and a half shillington would have been a bench player at best ... not to mention shillington's off field attitude hasn't always been the most productive ...

how about adrian morley? ... the club stood by moz for alot of controversial tackling and on field incidents and yet the club can't speak highly enough of the man ... he could easily have been punted earlier

sam perrett debut'd in 2004 and was given a 4 year contract extension in 2008 ...

jamie soward was shown loyalty imo ... told by the coach pearce was going to be the main man he was granted a release ... could easily have been stuck playing for newtown ...

the club has shown loyalty to players over the years

mitchell has NO situation to be pissed off about ... before he'd even proven himself he was given a significant contract upgrade ... he was elevated above a very VERY good player ahead of him in the pecking order in jamie soward and to a degree josh lewis who had both been playing for around 2 years on and off and currently he is playing virtually to no competition ... if mitchell pearce leaves it won't be due to disloyalty from management as he's been given a pretty cosey road since he was 17

so don't speak bullsh*t

great post tonearm

you only have loyalty problems when your boss is trying to convince one of your overrated hacks to become a preacher

 

[OVP]

That should have been your reply to the Souffs idiot's first post :lol:

Cant disagree there and i hate agreeing with toothless vermin fans

I disagree, I think Pearce is a better tackler. I also think Soward is more injury prone and cracks under pressure.

Anyways Politis would of got annoyed with soward's kicking routine, its like a jazz routine lolol.

You obviously have no clue when it comes to the running of this club.

Given a first grade shot to secure signature, even with poor form

Given more money than higher profile players in the team

Had all competition for position eradicated

when his form dropped in 1st season, an injury was created

when Easts started winning, mysterious injury dissappeared, we started losing again

whenever we loose, it was the forwards fault

Picked in origin, one of the worst players, forwards fault

Given Jack Gibson medal when 6 others were more desereved

he repays them with an "accidental" meeting with a person "not affiliated" with another club

He is a kid with massive confidence issues, look no further than his media interviews.

he is in the constant need of praise, re assurance and no pressure

hence he likes the wind being blown up his arse.

the only mistreatment of pearce has been pampering his sorry little arse.

No i'll leave that to fittler, jumping up and down in the box like a clown, while his team pisses on his hand comes finals time LOLLL.

Compared to taylor who needs a bib and nappy at post match interviews with all that dribble he comes up with.

Never his fault, its the ref, the rules, the other team

No mention of the fact he leaves your best 2 players on the bench for half a game.

By the way, how was freddys first full season in first garde cmpared to your knob, in fcat did you guys play this season at all.

Drove past that park formerly knownas redfern Oval the other night. The car beside us ran over a cat. Poor cat I thought. Then I realised where it lived and realised it was cat suicide.

I'm interested to find out what happened to Ashley Harrison and his supposed new three year contract with the Roosters when Willy and Ogar wanted to come over from the Dogs?
