I still don't think it's fair to say you don't want him here because of that. People learn from their mistakes.
Of course the grand final is there for the taking - every grand final is. But to suggest that the warriors should have won that game is ridiculous and even more so to blame it on the coach at the time. The roosters were simply never going to lose that game. They were in a different league to the warriors at the time.Kee said:Wrongly put sorry.I didnt mean the Warriors were paraded.Quite the opposite.Parra were though.They had a huge week with the public.
Anderson though did it quite the opposite and bought the guys out here far too late.He is the coach and he does what he thinks is right at the time and this was his first GF but to his own admission he said he would do it differantly next time.
Hell I was excited when the Warriors got in.For not to win that Grand Final was devestating.(my sis in law is a kiwi).They deserved it and it was there for the taking.I do blame the coach and of course I don't blame the fans or the country.
Love to see them get another go.Hopefully we will meet them in the near future.
Bugger!That would mean they would lose another one. [icon_wink

[icon_lol1. You're suggesting some kind of rigging I'm assuming?? I do love a good conspiracy theory. :roll:Kee said:Please don't even go there with 2002.We all know what the deal was with the Roosters on that one. [eusa_naugh
No!My opinion wasn't clouded just cos I didn't like the coach.Bennett has never taken a team to a GF without coming away with the trophy.
Smith>Anderson.Yes!
It's the way the handle the build up and the day.That comes from the coach.
2006 Bellamy did say the same about the Storms week going into that GF.I am not saying we shouldn't have won it.We outplayed them but he did say he would handle the build up differantly next time.Obviously he did.

I love guessing games. OK, I think Kee is saying:
- the Roosters ratted out the Bulldogs salary cap rorting
- the Roosters, who were 7th or 8th at the time, were then given a leg up by referees, judiciary and administrators, including the famous 8-0 penalty count against the Broncos in the preliminary final
- in return Phil Gould got to have the pleasure of saying "look, Ricky Stuart won the competition because I helped him"
I'm SURE that's how it went down [icon_wink
Kee said:Meat i think you may mean you hope WB doesn't lose a GF THIS year not next.
Kee said:Sorry Meat.I misread your post. [eusa_naugh
No really, I do love a conspiracy theory!!!Kee said:Right on Coxy.That was the year Broncs could have,should have (had a shot anyhow)been in that GF and no I don't forget what went on in the lead up to that GF.Not to mention it was due for the Roosters to get into a grand final and Fittler retired from rep that same year.They did get a big helping hand to get there not to mention the massive one of knocking us out of it.
Seriously do you really think that the Warriors Broncs were ever going to play a GF back then in Sydney?
Meat i think you may mean you hope WB doesn't lose a GF THIS year not next.
