Smell the fear!!!
see i warned you about putting stuff like this on here, now the dickheads have come out in force, serves you right.
Happens every year Pat . He just wants some romance![]()
Twelve months ago, Melbourne Storm lifted the J.J. Giltinan Shiled as the NRL Premiers for 2009. We didnt know at the time that they were systemically rorting the salary cap by the tune of $3.2 million. Subsequently they were stripped of their premiership (and others) which left other clubs, in particular their grand final opponents Parramatta lamenting on what could have been.
We would all hate to see this happen again this year.
There have only been two clubs that have been caught rorting the system, the Bulldogs 2002 and the Storm in 2010. But they were only caught due to an insider that blew the whistle. Even when the NRL were told of the Storms cheating, they only uncovered $1.7 million of the rort. It was left to Deloitte to uncover the other 80%.
Sure the NRL fines clubs every year for salary cap breaches much of it due to interpretations of the cap, but the plain hard fact is that the NRL have never been able to detect a systematic rorting system through their own audits. After all, they went through the Storms books for the past five years and couldnt find the $3.2 million rort.
So what does that all mean? Could there be another club out there that is rorting the salary cap? It would be naive to think that no other club have at least contemplated doing it. But we will never know because the NRL will never be able to catch them out.
When one speculates which club or clubs may be rorting the system, one only needs to look for the smoke which more than likely leads to fire. The Sydney Roosters are affectionately known by fans from other clubs as the Rorters. There are numerous stories of the brown paper bags used as player payments used at Bondi. Of course these are unsubstantiated rumours that cannot be proven. So lets just stick with the facts.
The Roosters Board boast some of the most powerful businessmen in the country. They have the resources, business skills, impeccable connections and are proven winners. Some of them could fund the Roosters with their own money. Its a powerful board that any club would be envious to have on their side. This of course does not imply that any of them have ever done anything illegal. Just that they are winners that know how to succeed in what they do.
So what do we look for in a club that rorts the system? Certainly we could look at unusually high standards of performance. The Roosters cannot be accused of that last year but that wasnt an issue with their roster but with their coach. The Board did what they had to do axe the coach even though he was a Roosters favourite son. The Board decided to replace Fittler with someone they considered to be the best coach, Brian Smith. The fact that he was under contract with another club and even recently extended it was apparently not an issue. The Roosters offer was too good for him to refuse and subsequently his contract with the Knights was terminated and he was free to join the Roosters.
If we are looking for unusual high performance than we need not look further than 2004 when the Roosters qualified for the Grand Final for the 4th time in 5 years. In the history of the NRL competition, there is only one been one other club that can claim anything like that record, and that was of course the Melbourne Storm who had made 4 Grand Finals in 4 years (but now we know how). This does not imply that there was anything illegal in that unusual high performance by the Roosters, but when an athlete wins a gold medal, they get tested.
The Roosters have an envious record of buying quality first grade players. That doesnt prove anything but its interesting that they bought players like OMeally, Miles, Anasta, Mason who were all from the Bulldogs premiership wining team and were ironically left the Bulldogs because they could no longer pay them what they used to before they were caught out for rorting the salary cap.
Anasta knocked back a lucrative offer from his juniors club Souths to join the Roosters. Recently the Cowboys looked to throwing a chequebook to get him but that wont be enough to lure him away from the Roosters. The fact is the Roosters have never lost a player they really wanted to keep. In other words, they have never been outbid by any other club. Of course they let players go every year due to the salary cap, but so did the Storm.
Why did the teenage sensation Mitchell Peirce sign up with the Roosters rather than the club that he father had so proudly captained? Many sons have followed in their fathers footsteps and played for the same club Dean Young, Brett Morris amongst many It could be that Peirce didnt want to play in his fathers shadow. Fair enough. But certainly the Roosters must have made him an offer he couldnt refuse.
And so there we are. Absolutely no proof that the Roosters have done anything wrong. But much the same could have been said about the Storm 12 months ago.
The merged entity are yet to win anything.Shouldnt you be polishing your choker??? Why the fear Pillow?
You couldnt win in 2005 when your team was better. Why are so many Saints fans such absolute f**kwits? I mean you havent won anything in 31 years and counting. But something so daft captures the majority of Red V wearing morons around June, and you think you own the Premiership.
You put your right foot in,
You put Sowards headgear on,
You screwed that other team
But use their ground at the Gong
You do the Oki Chokie and you turn around
31 years what went wrong?
Ooooohhh do the Oki Chokie
Ooooohhhh do the Oki Chokie,
Ohhhhh the Oki Chokie
Your fans are f**king nongs.
Choke you sad bastards.
That's why they hang at the wall.

We will beat Manly. And if we dont I will change my Avatar to a nude photo of myself.
Based on RednWhite's theory any team coached by Smithy is over the cap. The roosters are having a great season because of the coach. No coincidence. He has had the same effect at Saints and Eels in the early years and had success at Newcastle when he was there as well. He is by far the best coach never to win a GF. I can't believe guys like Folkes and Hagan can win a premiership and he can't. Then again Hagan had the worlds best player in Johns and Folkes had a side above the cap and a damaging player in Sonny Bill.
Another reason for their success is Carney. He was always going to be a great player as he was awesome whilst at Canberra, but they were forced to let him go and are paying for it. If they had the Carney / Campese combo happening they would be even better than they are. Carney was available for all clubs but Chooks took the gamble.
Because I lost all the ones of your missus.LOL!!! I'm sure there's quite a collection.
The real question is why you're taking nude pics of yourself.
Pray that your Oki Chokies dont die again. When they do, I will f**king hound you for a year. Typical Saints spastic.You know what the best thing is? In just 24 hours the Rorters season will be over.
Do what you like genius.Oh Melonie....
Should I tar the other two Roosters fans with the same brush that you use ?
