The Myth about Roosters marquee players. Manu joined the Roosters as a17 year old. Toupou came from Newtown (which was a Roosters feeder team). JWH came from Manly as a 19 year old-played a few first grade games at Manly. Conner Watson started as Rooster and has returned after being at Newcastle. Keary sacked by Souths. Radley came through the junior ranks. Leniu a good buy hardly a marquee signing. Sandon Smith came through NSW cup. Lindsey Collins came to the Roosters as an 18 year old. May through NSW cup. etc. Tedesco, Crighton and Sualli their big buys. Sam Walker as a 17 year old. But more importantly the NRL is a business and if you want to win a premiership think about what Bob Fulton came back to Manly in 1983 ripping the heart out of the Easts side. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

What an odd way to celebrate a finals victory.

At least if you are going to troll after a win you can do better than this

Looks like a crap version of AI

Just responding to some of your supporters who like to perpetuate the myth about Roosters buying for eg.JWH as a superstar . Not true. Most club supporters do it without doing their homework. I'm sure you're not old enough to remember Manly raiding Wests and Easts in the 70s and 80s. No drama it's a business trying to win a comp. If you don't want to win get the hell out of the comp and play park footie at Narraweena or wherever!

I don’t think the major issue for many is the Rorters buying or developing players (though an interesting debate nevertheless). I think most people laugh through the facade of your salary cap “limitations”. It’s your amazing ability to stockpile international and top shelf players. It’s a joke to see what you have lined up even durin* a supposed injury crisis 😂

It’s because of their amazing junior system and support of developing the game from grass roots. They bring all those discarded young juniors over to Hyde Park near the fountain, where they hone their game. 🙄

JWH was a budding superstar when he was with us. I'm sure a nice round of golf with Nick Politis was a factor in him leaving.

Keary was out of favour with Crowe but still a very in-demand player at the time.

Leniu would have been considered a marquee signing at any other club.

And who cares if the others were at the club as 17-18 year olds? Are they Eastern Suburbs juniors or were they lured across on big coin because even then it was clear they were going to be excellent first graders?

But let's also not overlook the obvious - if all of your players were getting paid their fair market value you would be a mile over the cap. And I'm sure they are, just not on the books.

Roosters do not have juniors. Most of the schools in the Eastern Suburbs play Union e.g Waverley college, Sydney High, Scots, Cranbrook etc

Realistically eaglebuzz no different from Manly!

Exactly that's what you are basing your argument on!
Nope. I’ve never looked at the media’s publication or innuendo on Rorter players’ salaries. I look at the quality of player in each position and in depth, and make a common sense judgement from that. Not hard to work out really. Happy for you to go through your top 30 with a fair estimate on their market value and see how it fits within the cap. 😊

Oh really. Such a powerhouse club with no foundation… except for some sly corrupt dollars on the side

I think you’ve missed the point. It doesn’t matter where they come from or at what age…it’s the ability to keep them all once they’re big names and add a couple of guns from other clubs each year.

You look at the mass exodus at Penrith and you look at the Chooks by comparison. They don’t shed any of their class players, they just add them. Its only this coming offseason that a couple are walking away for other reasons outside of cap constraints and we are hearing about a war chest 😂

Anyway, you’ve lost 20 of the last 21 against Melbourne and Penrith so it’s pretty embarrassing to put together a roster that’s stacked to the nines and perpetually lose because the club has no soul.
