It is made much easier by the fact that your club steals the talent from other clubs at both junior and senior levels as you cannot produce any talent of your own, with Ricketson the sole exception. This allows your club to have the greatest possbile advantage in reaching the semis.
I agree yes a team needs team work, but getting a team to gel is much easier than producing good talent.
The fact that you didn;t even make the eight this year shows that your club can't even do that. Having 10+ rep players and not making the eight that shows you have poor team work and poor coaching staff, and the only reason you were good from 2002-2004 was because of Fitler.
No, well- 2000-2004, having had such a enromous workload, in additon with rep players having an extra rep load- one would think that a team will be preety much exhausted. Tired, and having to deal with the changes after Fittler left also. I agree, Fitler was a
god(and still is)- but its not the ONLY reason that we were greatt from 2002-2004. Winning isnt all about having one awesome player, its about the whole team and no matter how you argue it, we had a preety great team for Fittler to thrive on. We dont have many jnr clubs- so our intake of jnrs is slightly hindered by that. I do admit, we do steal occasional talents- but why are you only pointing the finger at us. It seem unreasonable to totally accuse Roosters when im sure many clubs are doing the same thing. We just get the finger because we are hated. Producing good talent is hard, but coaching a talent to its full potential is equally as hard too.

i mean the grand final wouldnt your rather get to the grand final than be outside the top 8?
read further on stupid...
so becasue i supported a team to win in the finals makes me a bandwagon supporter? you supported the eels and tigers in the finals..so you must be a bandwagoner too.
and becasue i dont know every single piece information about my team makes me a bandwagoner? tats just plain stupid
bandwagon supporter:
A person who supports which ever sports team (football, basketball etc...) is doing the best
wheres the mention of team knowledge??
I DID WATCH THE GAME ALL OF IT!! SO DONT YOU SAY THAT!! why dont you go look throught your precious chatlogs...
no one is forcing you to post and come back here...
nice to know you can read the time now kimi.
bitting my tonngue....holding it in....
I think its safe to say, im much more smarter than you cos at least i reply with some plain and simple logic and, i do validate my statements, rather than make assumptions.
I can see you don't understand. You are not a Roosters Supporter and you don't understand what it means to support a team who convieniently loses as soon as they reach the GF. The GF is what every team aims for- to be withint an inch that close and lose is heartbreaking. Especially, if the process is repeated. I think its better to hear that from one who actually plays RL. And Greg, we don't play. But YOU don't support a team who does make the GF continually anyway. So thus, you wont understand and you cant talk or tell Roosters Supporters what to do or how to feel. Fuck off you and your Eels Bias Perspectives.
And of course i want to make the grand final and not outside the 8, what kind of a question is that? Again, reinforces your lack of fucken common sense.
I really dont think you understand. This whole debate came from the fact YOU, under stupidity called "most of" roosters fans bandwagon supporters. That thesis, i dnt know where it came from- because you still havent given a reason for why you "insert bias" made the accusation.
I said that if you had the nerve to call majority of Roosters Supporters Bandwagoners- and then give me a pathetic reason to say that we all go off and support other teams cos we cant win GF (that was the impression i was getting, cos then why else would Roosters Supporters all be Bandwagoners in your opinion) , than what does that make you? A fucken idiot.
No. For fucks sake- i dnt understand why you called ME stupid. Hence, the irony. I said that, i support my team through and through- and that you obviously dont when you say things like- "Oh go Tigers, etc etc". You did jump on the bandwagon. Your msn name for like forever "GO TIGERS!! Kick the cowboys asses etc etc". I dnt think i have given or express support for any other team than Roosters to the point of betrayal- even if i want someone else to win. That doesnt make me a bandwagon supporter because accord to your definition (prob stolen, but somewhat accurate cos at least YOU, the unreliable one, didnt write it)
"bandwagon supporter:
A person who supports which ever sports team (football, basketball etc...) is doing the best
Whilst i did hope Eels would make GF and Tigers to win the GF, i didnt support them. Not bloody verbal or body language. Theres a difference between expression and want. Want meaning "wanting someone to win", and expression "outright support and expressed in any communication mechanism".
just because i supported the tigers then does it mean that i hate the eels, and not support them...you dont always have to love one team and hate the rest.
No, it does not. But your thesis seemed to be based around the fact that Roosters Supporters do that- so thus, im entitled to do the same to you. And from what you're saying to me- you're basically calling me a bandwagoner because i like the Eels (for Tahu, Grothe, Hindy and Smith), and not just total dedicated love for Roosters, one and only? God, u are a hypocrite.
Are you then saying you ARE a bandwagoner? Because you said in your definition; "supports the team that is doing the best"- you did support the Tigers after the eels LOST. You cant deny that. And what about everyone else who wanted the Tigers to win then- are you saying everyone is a bandwagoner? Are you saying everyone who wanted the Cowboys to win is a bandwagoner? The difference though, is that you outright supported the Tigers and totally upheld it. Whilst, others didnt give a shit who won or not- a.k.a. me. Thus, i didnt support them or Eels. Either way, i can say anything i want right now anyway, because you called ME and other Roosters fans bandwagoners- something so pathetic, its actually quite funny. I will continue to pull things out of my ass...until u retract your statement.
I know i sound up myself when i say this- but i love the Roosters and i would think i know more about the Roosters than you know about the Eels. Therefore, anyone who calls me a Bandwagoner supporter is out of their mind. Questioning my love and as well as thousands of other Roosters Supporters' love for the Roosters- is fucken stupid. Either you dont love the Eels enough to realise, thats a bloody shit accusation to say from a fans perspective. And im assured that most of my friends arent like that , so wherever you pulled from your ass that Roosters supporters are bandwagoners- then re-evaluate it.
Im not saying that, just because you know nothing about eels doesnt make you a bandwagoner supporter-agreed. I mean to say and emphasise: if you had the nerve to call Roosters Supporters Bandwagoners, and myself a Bandwagoner, than you obvious dont know wtf youre talking about. Thus, shit knowledge of anything RL. Therefore, i can make stupid accusations too by the looks of it. But geez, i would think its abit hard to support your team if you know nothing, dnt YOU think.
Yes. I can read the time. I simply said what i said before to prove my point. And it seems like i did. Anyway, you asked for it in your sarcastic way of manner and i answered. Or were you implying something else?, cos your shitty lame comebacks really dont work on me.
i know no1 is forcing me- but the existence of dickheads like you, who decide to make some really stupid comments and accusations, i feel the need to post. Its called, Roosters love.
And thats great your biting you're tongue, cos then- if you came up with any more stupid and invalid accusations and assumptions as you did (insert bias by YOU), than i would deem you -
even more- fucken stupid and illogical.
Next you're going to fucken say something stupid like, "All Sharks supporters are bandwagoners--lol"(which doesnt sound right)
