The clearest sign the Roosters had partied deep into Sunday night came from Daly Cherry-Evans just after 10am on Monday, in front of a few thousand fans at the Sydney Cricket Ground. "Thank you very much for everyone supporting tonight," Cherry-Evans said from behind dark sunglasses. "We'll see you in the Clovelly [hotel] soon." The club's dual premiership wins – both the men's and women's teams triumphed – prompted celebrations that started at Accor Stadium and continued late into the night at the Eastern Suburbs Leagues Club.
Several thousand Roosters supporters took advantage of the public holiday to descend on Moore Park and catch a glimpse of players who looked a little the worse for wear. Departing winger Mark Nawaqanitawase was among those arriving at the fan day. Soon-to-be Waratah Angus Crichton, who was filmed wearing a rooster mask at one point during the night, fronted up with an alcoholic Hard Rated drink in his hand and premiership rings on his fingers.
