lets face it...why are the roosters so good?
theyve got fittler, the greatest ever player to hold a football.
but more importantly it is because sydney have the richest and most prestigious team in the nrl. they have far more opportunity in plucking the top young players than any other team in australia.
You only have to compare the leagues clubs (or anything realli) of the roosters team and somewhere far out west such as penrith. big difference isnt it?
and why are nsw always winning in state of origin. fk! how many teams are there from queensland? 2
whereas pretty much the remainder are based nsw / sydney
therefore the player pool nsw have to slect from is far bigger than the plaers of qld
wtf? rooster only got money cuz nick politis is 1 rich bugger...last time i checked penrith league was doing quite good cashflow wise.... before the pokey tax. and i dun think there is a thing as more prestigious club as that just depends on whos winning at the time. ... and are there anything wrong with the roosters buying younger players? they get helped and develop into better players.... if clubs arent allowed to buy younger players who arent getting a run where will kimmorley orford and finch be with joey on top at newcastle? after all alot of a players development occur after they are 20... so roosters deserve some credit for having a great team.... if u remember, minichello, hegarty, byrne, cross, flannery, fitzgibbon,crocker, jason cayless, catic, and many players theyve released are hardly reknowned when they first played for the roosters.
also nsw has never won more origin games than queensland at anyp point in the origin history and after this series it is the 1st time that we have more series wins ..... by 1
