It's A Long Way To The Top - By Amber

As a passionate Sydney Roosters supporter of the last thirteen years, I am extremely proud of my team's successes and triumphs so far this year.   The Minor Premiership being the standout so far, of course.

 It has been an eleven year rollercoaster ride since our last Premiership win back in 2002 when an inspirational Freddy Fittler took charge of his team after an amazing forty twenty kick and lead us to victory.

Throughout this time the Sydney Roosters have recruited many new players and had its share of coaching changes.  We've welcomed names like Willie Mason & Todd Carney into the chook pen who unfortunately did not keep their end of the bargain during their time at the club though today remain amazing contributors to our wonderful game. 

 The coaching techniques of Brad Fittler were, I feel, not respected enough by the team of 2007 to 2009 for any truly glorious success to occur.  We had also recruited Brian Smith & Chris Anderson under which the right balance just never occurred.

Besides the inspirational leadership of our current coach Trent Robinson, our most successful coach during this period was the amazing Ricky Stuart.  There is a new chapter for Ricky around the corner and although controversy surrounds him, one can only wish him well in life.

The above events of the Sydney Roosters past eleven years are only a shadow of the trials and triumphs my team has experienced during this timeframe.  I can only say that nothing has been given to the silvertails on a silver platter.  They have been scrutinized season and season out like every other team.  As a fan of the NRL and specifically Sydney Roosters,  I can only wish your club every success in the future too.

Love,
