Inside word I've been hearing is that Parra were in the running for Keaon Kalamatangi, that changed Friday when the Roosters jumped in with their '300k (per year for 3yrs) third party property portfolio'.
Back to the drawing board Mark O'Neill. Again!!!!

Sorry Eli these guys you named won't win us a comp.
Definitely not, but it's a must to retain them. Landing a big fish is not easy for this club
Tuavaiti could be up there with another season under his belt. Uncle Nick has been rorting the system for many years and the NRL turns a blind eye.
You know Anal, to me its not about winning a comp, its about being the best we can!
We certainly are trying hard to be that, but patience is not a virtue to many on this site.
We have the ingredients. Its now a case of mixing it right and then the cake will bake itself.
Let's say TPA's are an issue for us, no idea if they are just saying. How on earth is that possible? We should be rich in TPA's.
It's because there are like 6 west Sydney teams fighting for the same TPAs. Clubs in their own area have a massive advantage
We are yet the biggest fan base out of them. Only Souths have a bigger base than us in Sydney.
I'd argue the Dogs have a bigger fan base than us. They are just more fair weather and go hiding when they are crap.
Regardless of that, we need to demonstrate we can do TPA's willingly and legally. If I was a player and offered a legal TPA rather than say a Politis golf game or a Laudy grocery basket with shares attached then I would as a player be attracted to that legal same....even as a player agent/manager I would prefer that.
All we know of course is that could be being raised and discussed at board level now. The board of course is effectively a democratic board and not made up of cronies. The leadership needs to address that and yes its only right that we (the fans) find out what we are doing. At least after the event, even letting the public know why we were not succesful in a quest!
I still find it intriguing as to what players actually do to receive their sponsorship, i.e they maybe 3rd party but have you seen any specific players endorsing "said" products?
I can remember Thurston with his head gear and Broncos RACQ but what about the rest of them?
PS I accept that some clubs are more attractive than others, but we should be able to make ourselves more atractive than PNG, PERTH, CANBERRA, PENRITH,TIGERS the GONG and NEWCASTLE.....even MELB as a place to live?
Christ WIZ lives in the Illawarra, why would you go to that shithole (I think thats what you called Brissy Wiz).
Roosters already got a forward pack off:
8. Collins
9. Robson
10. Whyte
11. Crichton
12. Radley
13. Watson
14. Ioleu
15. Leniu
16. Wong
17. N Butcher
18. E Butcher
Then you got gun juniors in Foketi and Steep coming through. So its either BS or there will be a good forward at the roosters looking for a club.
