Roosters are getting a slating here as:

A) they cancelled a kids training morning with the Fremantle jnrs
B) Fittler never turned up for a breakfast event (last seen on the golf course!)
C) they played a very weak squad
D) Fittler didn't turn up for post game media conference
E) Players seen out in the bars during the week

Can't see them getting an invite back anytime soon!

In contrast St George were brilliant and went out of their way to support the growth of the game in perth.

Whilst not defending the Roosters, don't take it personally that this happened in a trial. Afterall Souths did the same on their "return to redfern" home-coming game. It's what happens.

Players seen out in bars during the week!!!! Don't get it, what's wrong with that?

Did Jordan Tansey get a run-out for the Roosters JB?

yes he played the first half at FB. Did ok, no major blunders but nothing on attack (then again the whole side didn't do anything either!)

yeh I appreciate that, it just seems that St George came with the right attitude, ie helping a fledgling RL area to grow whilst the Roosters came very much with a "bit of a pre season jaunt" attitude. Given how vitally important to us these games and opportunities are it was disappointing to say the least.
