Yep your right - 4 clubs. Well done sherlock.
Yep your right they play in the Souths Juniors comp - well done again sherlock.
"Pull funding" - you must have read that in the paper. Therefore it must be right. I also read in the paper the world may end in 2012. Damn. No chance for that elusive next premiership for Souths then.
I am hurt somewhat by your description of my club as a disgrace. Because if anyone knows what a disgrace is its a Souths suppoorter. After all your club has been just that for 30 years.
Yes a disgrace to RL, because your club clearly doesn't mind other sports moving onto your turf:
Junior footy faces cuts by Roosters
Budget cuts at the Sydney Roosters Football Club are set to have a dramatic impact on four junior rugby league teams in the Eastern Suburbs, including the Clovelly Crocodiles.
Sydney Roosters Junior League manager, Brian Sinclair, confirmed that there had been "a tightening of the budget across the entire club".
The Crocodiles, along with the Bondi United, Paddington Tigers and St Charles junior teams, are in negotiations with the Roosters regarding funding for the 2008 season.
Mr Sinclair declined to specify how much each club usually received, but said it was a "substantial amount".
"All departments are being told to reduce spending and all the departments in the football club have reviewed their expenditure and are attempting to reduce it," he said.
The uncertainty regarding junior league funding comes at a delicate time for the Roosters, who are in the race to lure one of league's highest paid stars, Willie Mason.
In an unsigned letter obtained by the Courier, representatives from the four junior clubs requested clarification from Roosters chairman, Nick Politis, as to the financial support they would receive in 2008.
The letter requested that the board look to other areas under their control, rather than the junior league clubs, if "financial adjustments are to be made".
"Any adjustments to your financial support will have a detrimental effect on our business
and result in a loss of our participants to other codes or possibly away from sport altogether."
The letter referred to the "mission statement that appears on the Easts website", which states that one of the objectives of the club is "to support and propagate rugby league in the Eastern Suburbs".
Mr Sinclair said that the Roosters were committed to "propagating" rugby league in the area.
"We are currently trying to work out the amount of funding that will be given to the clubs. We are definitely not pulling the funding; we are trying to come to some arrangement.
We don't want to cut the junior league clubs off at the knees but we are having to look at the club's finances across the board," he said.
Clovelly Crocodiles president Eugene Sangster said that the club was waiting to hear from the Roosters' board.
"We are still waiting on confirmation from the board as to what figure they are prepared to contribute and we will take it from there," Mr Sangster said.
He said the Clovelly Crocodiles would "definitely not" be looking elsewhere for support and that he knew the Roosters would "contribute some amount".
Representatives from the other junior league teams said they were also waiting to hear from the Roosters' board.

Don't worry chump, we are happy to take them off your hands, because your club clearly doesn't give a f**k about the propogation of the game.
