The only way is up knights.

The 2013 season was an absolute stinker for the raiders but things look to be improving. Its tough for us regional clubs

The best thing to happen to the raiders in recent history is dugan and Ferguson walking out and milford saving sticky from himself by not signing that ludicrous million dollar contract. Two things that really stunk at the time

I'm talking about your whole pack of drug cheats.

Looking forward to Friday Night Football tomorrow night given we are in season.

As soon as your Club commences off season training you are in season.

Oh and ASADA had no samples on Sharks players. But we played there stupid games and the players took a forced break at the end of the season to shut them the f**k up.

If they have no evidence and you're innocent you don't plead guilty under and circumstances.

But the players were guilty and did take performance enhancing drugs. They just delayed it as long as they could until they got away with next to no punishment at all.

The players were told if they challenged it in court they would win.

But Alan Jones(2gb) said that Asada being a government agency would probably make the case go on forever and bankrupt them.

So they decided to put an end to the bullshyte and take an extended off season break.

Great move in the end.

Did you see who lifted the trophy in 2016?

ASADA were the ones who offered the low-ball deal. They obviously had no great faith in the strength of their case without the Sharks making admissions.

Sharks wanted them to take a deal early on as they knew they were guilty. They offered an extra year contract extension to players who did.

Everyone knows they were using peptides. Even if the players want to claim ignorance on knowing at the time. They cheated. They got a slap on the wrist for it. They are the worst drug cheats in the game... so their fans have no rights to judge other clubs for having a drug cheat or two.

The way the sharks asada deal happened was a farce. If players were really proven to cheat drugs then they should of got big suspensions. I could imagine a phone call between cronulla and asada went something like this.

Asada: after investigating for so long we can't find anything definitive on you guys. Are you sure you don't just want to confess.

Sharks: No we won't. Were do we go from here.

Asada: well we've invested so much time, resources and press towards this investigation. We will keep slinging mud until we go broke.

Sharks: look we just want this shit to be over with.

Asada: how about this. You admit to some wrongdoing. We'll save some face. Then we'll say your suspension is backdated to the start of the year. So it doesn't look so bad, the players in question have to sit out the remaining 3 games of the season, but you've already sewn up the spoon this year anyway so what difference does it make.

Sharks: if we agree can you just leave us the f**k alone from now on

Asada: sure, Essendon are being total merkins anyway, they'll get all the focus now.
