Why all the aggression, weird punctuation and staccato vernacular? Nobody is being sharp or insulting you, I’m merely suggesting a productive therapy for your conspiracy theorist tendencies. “Be gone”….really? Am I Banquo’s ghost?
Dangerously competent: NRL must de-register Sharks CEO Barry Russell for being too professional
Are you referring to Ian Schubert?
The guy who played for Wests, Manly and Easts and was the NRL official auditor who uncovered the biggest fraud in Australian sport?
He never worked in any capacity for the Roosters Administration, so why are you sick? Probably all the bitterness and conspiracy theories you continue to swallow. Maybe you just hate winners…I respectfully suggest a social media holiday and some ashtanga yoga and meditation to get you through all those sleepless nights.

Spinksy, very well expressed and I feel your pain.
The carpetbaggers running Club Shark have been a continual embarrassment and yet again have shamed themselves, their fans and the entire code. Like you I loved those 80’s Cronulla team legends like Steve “God” Rogers and the Sorenson brothers. I concur on all your points. Upright blokes like Barry Russell running the show, total transparency in every admin matter and no more shonksters or grubs…in head office or leading the team onto the field.
Confession of a Sharks tragic
You’re too good Reg47!
It IS me, Danielle, your ex.
I just wanted to say I’m sorry for dumping you but I was sick of you and your mates, like AE47 constantly being so aggressive and violent to me, Mum, and Nan.
Anyway have a good life and thanks for wearing that white ribbon.
How much longer until all NRL fans walk away?
Haha go Reg!
You keep going wit what you possess! Would love to reply but am too busy watching the Grand Final again with my girlfriends. Interesting you think I’m a man, I suppose just like Jack you think woman beneath this kind of forum.
What was your other moniker? misogynist47?
How much longer until all NRL fans walk away?
AE47 Oh, please… as a Manly supporter I do feel your pain, the world hates you and your team but if you’d like to spray your conspiracy theories about the ’13 NRL champions please choose an appropriate forum. This spread is about player violence towards women. Hello?
Both your good self and Reg Reagan (deeply imaginative moniker) need to get off the Sasquatch, Katoomba panther and faked Moon landing youtube channels and swallow all this harmful bitterness. It’s actually bad for your health. The TPA contracts of each club have just been transparently published and your nemesis team are disappointingly way down the list.
Apparently the article was emailed in by Elvis himself from Area 51 where he secretly runs guns into Kurdistan with Jim Morrison.

Easy Tiger, don’t paint us with the shark brush.
Least likeable team in the comp(other than Manly)
Shane Flanagan being probed by NRL
Both started as kids, have been developed and are now reaching their peak at The Roosters. Hopefully we won’t have to choose between them as growing up together in one club should see them stay. But looking at what happened with RTS, The Warriors will soon offer Joey the house and the “Call of the Bru” will see him off home to disappear into the NZ mediocrity ether like most returning Kiwis. Vis a vis development: setting two competitive, young guns to mark and train against each other every week has worked out just swell. Kudos Robbo.
Who would you rather: Latrell Mitchell or Joseph Manu?
Bless you Steve
You’re the one Australian scribe who passionately writes for the international game. And you’re not alone-there are a few of us who would love to see RL properly promoted and played throughout the world. I live in Spain and there is real interest here, particularly since a Catalan team won the Super League. Our local RU club is full of Mungos and the NZ coach uses many League videos and drills to demonstrate specific skills to the kids. Like you I dream one day even a Spaniard may hoist the Golden Boot!
Confessions of a dreamer: I voted for Tommy Makinson
Dave Reynolds you should run for PM today. “What does the Opera House offer the average person..” Magnificent stuff. You sir, are the true vox populi of our nation today.
Surely Australia’s most famous and only culturally interesting building’s true use is as a billboard to the highest bidder for personal promotion. A toilet-trading parrot publicly attacks and abuses another woman and our female premier backs him. The bogan kabal masquerading as our leaders label us “precious” and parlay the Harbour Bridge commodification too “if it puts bums on seats”
Today I can proudly say to the world we are the white trash of Oceania. The Bogans have truly taken over the show.
Poor fellow my country.
The Everest, the Opera House, and Alan Bloody Jones
Totally agree Barry
The article has no point. Kicks off with a few big questions, draws in few weak ancedotes, then ends by backslapping Bellamy. WTF?
What do I need to do to write for The Roar? Surely the standards are tres moyenne!
Did Robbo stuff up by playing Cronk?
Roosters just beat a well-prepared Melbourne at full strength with only 12 players. See an extraordinary effort for what it is. If Ceccin had reffed they’d have won by 30.
Some people would boo Nelson Mandela…
Five years on, the Roosters finally meet their expectations
I agree. Thanks AJ for all the articles. Can’t wait for the game!
Con, better luck next year with the Souffs Facebook filter and brand new coach!
If you can’t get up for this grand final, you’re dead inside
Well while we’re all taking the p1ss, let me jump aboard!
Coming from Canberra I can understand:
1) You’re angry at life
2) Hate any team that has sustained success
3) Are a prize-winner at picking low-hanging fruit
4) Watching Easts games from a lovely Pub in Paddo with your mates is a thing of beauty. I’ve tried the same in Shamberra and I get why you all pile into Bruce Stadium.
Did enjoy your anti-Slater spray though. Spot on!
The NRL grand final has no peoples' champion because they both suck
Absolutely. What an appalling decision. Always given Storm players the benefit of the doubt with their cheating, wrestling and general grubbiness but this takes favouritism to a whole baseline level. Regardless of how he plays in the GF Slater’s legacy will forever be blighted by the shameless double standards trotted out during this hearing.
Grand final bound! Billy Slater free to play NRL decider
Hammered? No way. I totally agree with you.
If Teflon Billy gets away with daylight robbery tonight then the history, traditions and values of the game will be considerably diminished.
If you can’t do the time, don’t commit the crime.
Simple.
If Billy Slater plays on Sunday, I won't be watching
Here’s hoping Rusty gets full of ink again at Mad Monday and insults a few more soon-to-be-roosters!
Seven talking points from Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL preliminary final
Here we go again….
steveg your team was comprehensively towelled up, worse-couldn’t even score a try- in front of the largest ever crowd in the very last game played at the SFS. You had 68% of possession, were playing a team missing it’s best attacking player, had it’s chief organiser nullified by a cheap shot and had untried kids marking your superstars. You were at full strength and have the “best rookie” coach in the NRL. (Though Mr. Seibold is sadly becoming a whining excuse-maker too)
Take it on the chin, move on.
PS: Please stop these “develop our juniors” platitudes. You need a new angle, remember your club was pulled out of the toilet by a millionaire movie-star who has poured unlimited coin into buying the best players available for many years.
Seven talking points from Sydney Roosters vs South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL preliminary final
Dear ROAR editors,
Would it be too much trouble to ask a less biased scribe to cover Roosters games from henceforth?
Every article published by Mr. Pryde reeks of an anti-Easts bias and carries a continual “Roosters didn’t win, the other team lost” inference that quite frankly is seriously off-putting.
A few tidbits from today’s gem: remember Easts have just won a tough qualifying final against a team they really struggle against. What did Mr. Pryde wish to highlight?
1) “Mitchell has to go. If he is playing in a fortnight’s time, there should be an outrage”
2) “There is still elements of confusion in the Roosters’ back three”
3) “The Roosters have a defensive brick wall, but they still aren’t favourites for the premiership”
4) “unless their forwards can aim up with one of the best performances of their season, the premiership still looks a way off”
Sound like this team won the game?
Please give us someone who isn’t bringing petty baggage to their coverage and let Mr. Pryde cover the less demanding basketball, tennis and cricket he deems to understand.
Six talking points from Sydney Roosters vs Cronulla Sharks NRL qualifying final
Never allow facts to gag a rant. Please explain how calling yourself “Sydney” marginalises Souths? While you’re putting that essay together add in an explanation on how the Roosters cashed in on the Bunnies being turfed out of the comp. The fact that top office thieves and shysters at SSDRLFC stole so much $$ over 70 years that there was nothing left to even pay the players will be omitted no doubt. Oh, that is also the roosters fault? Of course you’re forgetting how Souths stabbed the old University RL team in the back, before leading the votes to have Glebe and Newtown turfed out of the ARL and quickly claiming their juniors and territory. All this and when the same happens to them the “pride of the league” quickly scream blue murder. Spare me please.
Rabbitohs and Roosters: league’s greatest rivalry
You’ve got the ball on a string, Dane.
So many dense league gems I could throw a blanket over them. Looks like you’ve been given a real roving commision by your editors to chime in on each second-receiver’s block play. Credit to our NRL boys who’ve really dug deep this year for fresh atrocities and more chances for use of tired clichés. One big flamed-headed gangly mover in particular – what a surprising turn of speed for a big man! I bet he’s now asking himself some big questions although at least he’s owned his own slip-ups and run zero media block plays. The middle third is there to be dominated and with our charges returning refreshed and revived from Thailand after training the house down we can sure expect more crossfield whatsapp jams, steadfast nude custodians and line-chopping edge-runners.
