If you wonder why this thread was started, it's because they're getting thrashed elsewhere.
I am still yet to see an argument to make me fell less disgust with the Roosters heirarchy. I used to respect the team a fair bit, but this is a travesty.
The amount of reaction and anger this has inspired cannot be ignored, nor can the same argument of "well I know it's a league, where every one is supposed to be bound together, but hey man, it's every man for himself, and if your club doesn't have sh!tloads of cash coming in from people throwing all their money into pokies, well that's not our fault."
Look if it were the Dragons that threatened legal action, my post would be thus...
"I'm very ashamed at the actions of my club, and feel their greed has dishonoured the history and name."
We would like some more room to spend too, but you can't attack a sport and not earn the hatred of fans of that sport.
I believe in some countries, first world countries mind you, this would start off a riot.
