Sydney Roosters News
I knew the Sydney Roosters match up with the St George/Illawarra Tampons was going to be a dud game and boy did it live up to my prediction. The first half was probably the worst half of football I’ve ever seen. Sure, it was pissing rain, but the dropped ball, the simple mistakes and the…
Few things piss me off more than talking about loyalty in Rugby League. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of these idiots that talks about “the good old days” when players apparently didn’t switch clubs. I get pissed off because people talk about loyalty and for the most part, they are all a bunch…
Todays NRL stars know they are in the public spotlight. When you earn a few hundred thousand dollars playing a game so many enjoy, you have to expect to be noticed. However there comes a point when the general interest people take in you is overtaken by media obsession, and when it comes to Willie…
Well Willie Mason has decided to wait 12 months before he steps into the boxing ring, and I have to say, its a smart decision. Mason was going to be rushed into this boxing gig and he was going to have to do it during off season training with the Roosters. At least by waiting…
The Sydney Roosters have just about free’d up all the salary cap space they need to sign Australian forward Willie Mason. Roosters lock Ashley Harrison looks set to leave the club and head to the Gold Coast Titans on a three year deal that would give the Roosters some room under the cap to sign…
Chris Andersons coaching career seems to be finally over after he stepped down with immediate effect from the head coaching role at the Sydney Roosters. After a disasterous stint with the Cronulla Sharks, being sacked as Australian coach for some ridiculous selections and a stint coaching a rugby union club in Wales, Andersons time as…
As time goes on, I’m starting to become a bit of a fan of Braith Anasta. He came into first grade under so much pressure for so many reasons. He was high profile from game number one in first grade and he has achieved so much already in such a young career. However that hasn’t…
New Sydney Roosters coach Chris Anderson made the ridiculous suggestion this week that he has been astonished by the lack of skill modern day players have. Anderson said that since taking over the Roosters he has found the club full of players that lack skill, with some players unable to do basics such as pass…
In a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald new Sydney Roosters coach Chris Anderson bemoaned the fact that the game has become too much of a defensive struggle. He cites the move by Greg Inglis and Mark Gasnier from the centers and into five-eight for their respective clubs as a sad sign for the…
There is no doubting Ricky Stuart is one of the top five coaches in the game today. His coaching record speaks for itself. So why then have the Roosters effectively got rid of Stuart (The official line is that both parties split by mutual agreement), the coach who took them to their first Grand Final…
Much has been said about the Roosters forum this season. Some are puzzled as to why they are going so poorly but I have to say, I’m not surprised at all. The Roosters build their best sides on the back of two things. 1. They were one of the most athletic sides ever. Big, fast,…
The Sydney Roosters threat to challenge the NRL on the Salary Cap under the Trade Practices act is the second most disgraceful act by a Rugby League club since the Brisbane Broncos decision to help build Super League. Coming off of a golden era for the club, the Roosters have played in three NRL Grand…
