Mate, cowardice. Locka\ a topic before it kicks off. Being a Manly fan i have no drama with anything the Roosters have done. There is no point languishing. If you cant drag players out of youre local sides that can get the job done you have to go shopping. I have no problems with that. I would rather be a strong side full of imports than a crap side made up of players that came through Bondi United or Paddington colts.
I just made the point that easts(as i still call tem and i am sure you appreciate) will more than likely lose half a million dollars worth of players going in to 05. Now this is not a slight on these players. They are have both played at every level of the game. ! is the absolute epitimy of a junior, came through the ranks from a local side and is even the son of one of a playr that came throgh your ranks. The Other an absolute champion of the game, and while he may not have been one of your juniors he managed to captain NSW and Australia from your club and hs done you proud but the simple fact is the cant play forever and when they do give it away it frees up a lot of money in the cap. Something Easts have complained about.
