Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/sydney-roosters-the-new-name-is-plucked/ Forget plumbing the depths of “Lara Bingle and The Lost Ring”, (which sounds like a new Tomb Raider movie) – for me the biggest news story concerns some other birds and a beachside Sydney suburb which may, or may not cough up said ring. I read that the Sydney Roosters NRL team is considering changing its name. Like many a long-suffering time supporter, I’ve been strapped into that tri-coloured, clichéd emotional rollercoaster. We’ve seen it all – the halcyon days of the 70’s with back to back premierships including the exalted 38-blot plastering of Graeme Langlands’ white boots led Dragons, legends (in no particular order) such as Beetson, Coote, Harris, Brass, Hastings, Walters, Mayes, The Count, Peard, Fairfax, Schubert, right through to the Freddie Fittler and Fitzy inspired grand final victory in 2002. penberthyd@newsltd.com.au (David Penberthy) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/sydney-roosters-the-new-name-is-plucked/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/sydney-roosters-the-new-name-is-plucked/#item2619 Sat, 26 May 2012 20:00:40 +0000 M30o93H7pQ09L8X1t49cHY01Z5j4TT91fGfr
