Why are The Roosters, or for that matter Rooster Supporters, Tall Poppies ?
Give us a break, Geezuz !! :roll: We have only won the thing once in 27 years ? how the ++++ does that make us tall poppies ? Some people read too many papers or actually believe the media hype ? and as far this East v West crap or the silver spoons shirt goes ? Matey !!! The mortgages are even higher in the Eastern Suburbs, thats about all they have in front of Penrith and matey !!! I live like 350 k west of Sydney so how far west do you want to go ?
One thing you must remember is that while Penrith or Newcastle or Canberra etc may have their general supporter base in the immediate vicinity of the region they represent because of the relative newness to the competition etc, clubs like the Saints Army or Souths or The Roosters etc have been around for almost like, a hundred years :roll: :roll: and over that length of time supporters of those clubs have like moved !! :roll: :roll: We are all over the world pal, and certainly all over Australia and definitely all over NSW and absolutely all over Sydney !!
Its no longer and hasnt been for many years, Roosters Supporters living in Bondi etc ! Wake up ! if the Roosters have been made out to be Tall Poppies, the only people to thank for that is the media and the news paper barons that have created that image in order to sell papers with headings like East V West and then make millions in TV rights etc.
They are the Tall Poppies not the rooster supporters ! geezez any one want a mortgage ? :x
OH and in case you have forgotten, Penrith Panthers make more money as a club than other club in the entire NRL ? Like 56 mil last year :shock: while Eastern Subs made 12.6 mil like nearly 350% less !! so who really are the Tall Poppies or silver spoons ??
