How come Roosters have so many 3rd Party Deals. Are Eels board just total 'Party Poopers'

  Politis knows business.

    That's just part of the problem CE, do you want to lie on a bed of feathers or Camel Hair. There is a difference between a Pooper and a Pauper!
    
    Do you know that its a fact that the Roosters give their players bigger Xmas presents than Santa allows.......there should be an investigation. Santa is getting angry!

  The vast majority of third party deals are exactly the same as the ones the eels got done cheating for. Former salary cap auditor Ian Schubert informed the club about this when we got done cheating, he encouraged the club to take the NRL to court over it.
  
  Under the rules they are pretty much all illegal but the NRL won't investigate them thoroughly unless there is a whistle-blower. The eels already got done cheating this way once, we can't afford to get caught doing it again.

Roosters have institutional wealth backing them (Uncle Nick,Packers,Bouris et al) ....we will never compete with that....cause we cant attract that ....we best to stick with dodgy Leb Construction companies or tainted corporate giants that have a history of giving employees cancer ...thats more in our remit....

I know this has nothing to do with this news but does anyone know if Lomax will return for pre-season?

We are not and are never going to compete with the top end of town teams we haven't for a long time so might as well get used to it we have to be a development club we have no choice so hopefully we can start to keep them and identify talent way better than we have in the past few years

Bernie Gurr mmentioned back in 2017-2018 that the club had done some serious reputational damage in those torrid times.Now I'm guessing here but if the reputational damage still hasn't been fixed over that time then the field we are playing on vs the rest isn't an even one.

"Roosters and these "wheelin and dealin" clubs can have their fun.
We are very conservative with our financial approach especially now and I think we'll stay that way and we should.
The figures like Politis and Gould that the media masturbates over…"

"Never listened to his (or any other) talk back radio. He seemed to be good at what he did though and I remember my grandmother loved his show.
Good innings. RIP."
