Roosters spine of Teddy, Keary, Walkers Smith is going to be scary in 23. That's before thinking about Manu, Crichton and Radley as well.

Nice to see the little guys landing a big fish.

Teddy's just about shot. Keary coming off a big injury. Smith will be out clubbing four nights a week. Radley will play half the games. Manu wants to leave. And we got their superstar winger and defensive (arguably uncredited head) coach.... they'll be shite

Interesting comments from Cheese regarding how the Roosters look after their players for life.

Tell us more, Cheese.

Bellamy might just legitimately kill him with a tennis racket. Like Im kinda kidding, but……… **** I’ll actually not be surprised if Smith actually falls off the planet faster then a Chinese tennis player.

The main quality I think we'll miss by not signing Kevvie is the crying thing, which has never been a particularly strong component of our skill set.

I know ET & Gal stepped up to the mark in 2016 but it's been sorely lacking since then.

Maybe Fitz can bring in Warner or Tim Paine as specialist coaches to help our squad access their emotional side.

Politis must have had another tough day on the greens!
From the below article - Golf a BIG part of their culture


The Kiwi was being pursued by a host of clubs but hadn’t commented on his dealings publicly until praising the Roosters on a podcast over the weekend.

The 25-year-old golfed with Roosters heavyweights Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Jake Friend and Mitch Aubusson on Friday, and also spent several hours at coach Trent Robinson’s home.


AND
This from another article

The Sydney Roosters king pin Nick Politis has once again underlined his reputation as rugby league’s best-ever deal-maker.

Even from 15,000km away in Greece, Politis has presided over the Roosters, beating six rival club’s for the signature of Kiwi Test hooker Brandon Smith.

Smith detailed how Robinson and the Roosters won him over on the YKTR Sports podcast.

“It was actually mind blowing,” Smith said.

“I can’t explain it … like I went and golfed with Jared, Aubo and Friendy, and Nick Politis was ringing them. He is over in LA on a business trip at the moment and he is ringing them up just to see how they are.

Does the Cheese really believe that Politis DIDN’T know that Jared, Aubo and Friendly were playing golf with him???
So, Not only is Politis a great negotiator but his timing is really impeccable!

And the Titans wooed his mum.

Personally I'd hate that bullshit.

Won’t be surprised if Melbourne tell him to **** off early.
I think it was set up to play out this way .
Roosters would want him for 2022
A bit like when they wanted Morris from us
Hope the Storm sends him to Q Cup for the entire year.
