It wasn't even that long ago when they had a segment purely to racially stereotype players https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTriclPvVws

Racial stereotypes are about 93% of Beau Ryan's schtick.

edit: Cronk is likely to play on, Roosters favourites to fit him under their Salary Sombrero. No idea what that'd mean for Pearce and Keary.

Salary cap working as expected (team with massively stacked lineup buys the NSW fullback and QLD halfback in the same offseason).

Pearce is an excellent first grade halfback. Reminder that you currently have Luke loving Brooks in that position.

Everyone is good until they come into our dumpster fire "system". I've lost count how many players have left us and won premierships or come to us as winners and turned into scrubs.

I assume if Brooks left he'd have a premiership ring within three years, much like Moses may well have soon.

Yep. Pearce goes to poo poo when he pulls on a Blues jersey, just imagine what would happen when he puts on a Tigers jersey.

I'd rather have Brooks at a fraction of the price. Plus you don't have to deal with Pearce's drama and baggage.

I'm sure we'll decide to buy Pearce and then offer brooks a raise. It's the kind of stupid thing we do. Much like when we had four speciality hookers in the team.

I like the bit where Pearce has been playing for the roosters for 10 years and they are immediately chasing a better half back with only a few good playing years left. Like how poo poo must you be feeling if you were Mitch right now? 10 years of your life to a club that couldn't give two shits about you.

We all know Pearce is on a lot more than that if you count the brown paper bags he gets every week.

Tuivasa-Sheck is saying he wants to go to union ahead of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Realistically, the only team he could play for at the test level is the All Blacks, and if he presumably becomes a fullback/winger, he'll have quite a few players to get ahead of - Ben Smith, Israel Dagg, Nehe Milner-Skudder, Matt Duffie, David Havili, Damian Mackenzie, just to name a few.

It's probably a ploy to raise his salary, I'd say.
