Sydney Roosters News
In 2008 Sonny Bill Williams walked out on the Canterbury Bulldogs in the middle of the night. He left the club at the worst possible time and he did it without a second thought. He took the most cowardly way out any sportsman could possibly take, and he has zero remorse ever since. In 2013…
Do you remember the first time you heard what had happened? It was a fantastic story. The type of story I’m sure you didn’t believe until you watched the news that night. The Canterbury Bulldogs poster boy and one of the biggest named in the NRL had got on a plane and left for France,…
The Penrith Panthers have released Michael Jennings from his contract in a move that has allowed the New South Wales State Of Origin center to sign for the Sydney Roosters on a four year deal. This is a great move for Jennings and the Sydney Roosters. During his entire career at the Panthers Jennings played…
I have just sat down and watch the press conference in Sydney in which the Sydney Roosters announced that they had signed Sonny Bill Williams to a one year deal. The contract has yet to be forwarded to the National Rugby League and there is some concern about the way it come about, with no…
The Sydney Roosters have announced that Catalan Dragons coach Trent Robinson join the club starting next season on what is a three year deal. Robinson was previously an assistant coach under Brian Smith in 2010 and linked up with the Catalan Dragons in 2011. He has done OK with the Dragons and his ability to…
The Sydney Roosters have announced that they have “parted ways” with Brian Smith today. This doesn’t come as a surprise after the season the Roosters had. I always got the feeling it was going to end this way for Smith. He was brought in to try and fix the club and rid them of a…
Sonny Bill Williams has revealed that he already regrets his decision to return to Rugby League and if he had his time over again, he would never have agreed to join the Sydney Roosters three years ago and would stay in Rugby Union. As it stands right now Williams has a stint in Japanese Rugby…
So yet again Rugby League is talking about a “super secret meeting” that happened over a coffee in public. The story is that Sonny Bill Williams met with the Sydney Roosters chairman Nick Politis and Channel Nine supremo David Gyngell at “secluded” Circular Quay to all but finalize a return to the NRL for the…
Just days after the announcement that James Maloney would not be re-signing with the New Zealand Warriors at the completing of his contract in 2012 comes word that the halfback has signed a three year deal with the Sydney Roosters from 2013. Maloney is a good buy for the Roosters and will partner Mitchell Pearce…
What a difference a year makes. This time last year Todd Carney was riding high after the best season of his career. He talked about the way he had turned his life around, how he had seen the error of his ways and how he would never let his his team mates, his friend and…
You have to wonder where a club is at when, after a number of terrible performances, they feel like the best thing to do is to have everyone stop drinking alcohol for the next two weeks to try and lift their game. Imagine in your work place if things were going well and the prevailing…
How many chances should you give a person? Nothing in life is ever black and white. As much as we wish we could, you can’t put the behavior of people into nice, neat little boxes. Everything is a degree of something, and therefore, when it comes to giving someone another chance, everything comes into consideration….
I was just like you ya know. Knock me down with a feather, Todd Carney was caught drink driving? Really? THAT Todd Carney? Todd Carney, yes that one, blew a Blood Alcohol reading of 0.05. That is the very limit of what you can have with a full license, but Carney only has a provisional…
Look out Sydney, there is gonna be a group of tens of Roosters fans hitting the town hard tonight! The Sydney Roosters have easily accounted for the Penrith Panthers in their qualifying final, running it in with a scoreline of 34-12. Only 23,459 turned up on a perfect night in Sydney to watch this game,…
I hate the Sydney Roosters. I hate that a club with no fans and no junior league, with a false history tarnished by the fact that no one cares can be soaking up the funding that other clubs with actual supporters could use. However, who cares, because this game was sooooo good. The Wests Tigers…
Imagine if you will for a moment that you make a living writing about the game of Rugby League. During the season work is good. There are few sports in the whole world that produce as many stories and as much drama as Rugby League does. There is always a rumour to chase, always a…
At what point do you realize you have had enough? For some people its when they start to feel a bit under the weather. For others, its when they start to slur their words. Some people go even further than that. When they can’t stand up on their own, when they throw up, or when…
There is a difference between doing something stupid, and being stupid. We’ve all done something stupid in our lives thats made us look back and think “What the hell was I thinking”. However there are people that just don’t get it, who don’t look back and ask that question. These people are morons, they are…
We all know how terrible the 2009 season was for the Sydney Roosters. In fact by the time you are finished reading this article its likely that one of their players will commit another crime against humanity. So the club doesn’t know how to handle itself, that much is clear. They have continued to allowed…
Talk about something coming from out of the blue! If you haven’t hear yet, Brad Fittler will be relieved of his coaching duties at the Sydney Roosters at the end of this season and he will be replaced by Newcastle’s current coach Brian Smith. This all happened so quickly that Knights players found out via…
You know if you look back over the last decade, all these teams and players who go out and act up, it always comes back to bitch them in the arse. The Roosters are feeling the pinch in this regard lately as news comes through of another off field incident regarding someone within their club…
The Sydney Roosters are in dead last place on the NRL ladder and its not looking like they will get any better any time soon. The side has completely given up, they are carrying millions in bad contracts and the players they hoped would kick on never have. The one area the Roosters have looked…
Its a rare club that one can never, ever leave. In fact it was so rare that until recently there was only one member. Now, Nate Myles has shat his way into Rugby League folk law. It not eye gouging, its not drug taking, its not foul play ever even being a poor player. Its…
Some dirty bastard takes a picture of Willie Mason having a piss, and he is the one that gets fined. Imagine what thats like for a moment, to know that you can do somnething a bit silly and wake up the next day, not only to find it splashed all over the front page of…
Sydney Roosters Hooker Jake Friend was charged with high range drink driving a few days ago. As a “P Plater” he shouldnt have had any alcohol in his system at all. As a result the Sydney Roosters fined him $10,000 but chose not to suspend him. Now, a $10,000 fine for Jake Friend is huge….
The Sydney Roosters have announced today that they will no longer field under 16’s or under 18’s teams in a move they have claimed is aimed at cutting costs. The Roosters have claimed that they will still offer selected junior players scholarships and will recruit players from other clubs at an older age. This is…
Wow, what a game of Rugby League! The Brisbane Broncos beat the Sydney Roosters 24-16 in a brutal encounter at the Sydney Football Stadium. The game saw two Broncos forwards knocked senseless and Roosters hooker Riley Brown brake his arm in two places, and that brutality just did not let up for the full 80…
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…
