It goes without saying but I thought it would be good to vocalise this.
A lot of Newtown's success this year is owed to the generosity of the Sydney Roosters. The partnership between the two clubs has produced benefits for both organisations. For Newtown, it is this playing squad.
I know that many of the Roosters contracted players appreciate coming to Newtown because they are the main focus of attention and not just the curtain raiser. No disrespect to Roosters fans. I know they like their lower grades.
I hope this partnership starts to help the Roosters NRL side. Many Jets fans won't vocally support the Roosters (or any team for that matter) in an NRL match but you should understand that if Newtown help turn a Roosters contracted player from a raw talent into a steady First Grader, then we are helping the quality of our side by becoming a respectable club of choice for players on the fringe of the Show.
