If it was their own club not one of the people in this thread would be on the attack. They would all say how all clubs deserve more money instead of it lining Murdoch's pockets.

](*,)sorry for filling up our cap moron, and no we lost as many players as we signed, through NYC > PL > NRL..instead of buying rubbish players, we used our money well and brought decent players instead of hacks, why so upset, affraid souths will start to look worse

your silly post nemesis = code for "want cronulla out of the comp"..when you say, bought all these players they shouldnt have, f*ck off

your basing your assumptions on a silly media article, you truely are a mislead child if you believe EVERYTHING you read in the paper

there is also the fact you all take time out of all your miserable lives to bash my club..no wonder this league is going up sh!t creek with people like you lot of zeelots supporting it and hoping for clubs to die

idiots of the highest order..pull ya f**king heads in
---------------------------
thank you ms ;-)
So you're saying that your club didn't take out a $500K loan to pay staff before Chrismas or Zappia isn't calling for NRL handouts or that they haven't been bailed out before? I don't want the Sharks to die farkwit, but instead of asking for handouts, how about getting your own house in order first and doing some WORK, like growing your junior team base, increasing memberships and sponsorships and developing other revenue streams.

Try pulling your head out of your arse and start smelling the roses instead of your own crap for a change, dickwad.

If the Sharks die (and no, I don't want them to), it will be their own fault and they will have no one to blame other than their own incompetent management.

all clubs take out loans, we took that 500k just to get us through the quiet period where there isnt much money coming in, all clubs do it

just because TZ said that all clubs should get extra money, isnt code for sharks want more hand outs, he is stating that all clubs need some extra $ to help them through this tough economic time..but most on here took at as more fuel for sharks bashing and im sick of it

do some research before hand numnuts and look closely, we ARE getting our sh!t together, doesnt happen over night you know, there is alot of work to do to repair the damage chris anderson caused

how about you focus on what souths are doing and not doing before you rip into another club because as fair as im concerned it isnt all rosey down at souths HQ


Maybe souths have filled up our cap with rubbish players and you have brought well... thats not the point.

Point is if you are going bust and cannot afford to pay these wonderful players, maybe you shouldnt spend the whole cap AND survive.

and as for bashing your club... you are talking to souths fans, the most targeted club on here... im sure you have had your fair share of digs at us at one point in time...

then take it as a sign that where not in trouble if we can afford players..we had money to use under the cap, not our fault that we were able to attract decent players and not rubbish hacks with the cap money

i dont bash clubs like some on here, i am a rugby league fan and i like to watch all teams play, i might take a swipe at a club, but its not what some on here are doing to my club and i dont like the crap that continually goes on about my club

Oh really... which clubs were they, how much did they borrow, when did they borrow it and for what purpose? If you're going to make statements like that, at least have the proof to back up your claims.
just because TZ said that all clubs should get extra money, isnt code for sharks want more hand outs
Of course not... I'll have to get a new code book. I guess he was saying "the Sharks are fine, but the NRL should consider giving all other NRL clubs extra money to get them through these difficult times".

Get real dude... if Shane Richardson had made the same press statement that Zappia did, Souths would have copped it in spades.
Any CEO who sticks their neck out and makes a statement asking for NRL handouts like TZ did should expect to be criticised, especially when they've publicly demonstrated that they can't manage their own finances and were consequently knocked back by the bank for a $1M loan.

do some research before hand numnuts and look closely, we ARE getting our sh!t together
Obviously St George Bank doesn't think you are, otherwise they would have given you the $1M.

how about you focus on what souths are doing and not doing before you rip into another club because as fair as im concerned it isnt all rosey down at souths HQ
This thread is about a statement that YOUR CEO made to the press and that's what we're talking about... so if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen (see 2nd comment above).

then take it as a sign that where not in trouble if we can afford players..we had money to use under the cap, not our fault that we were able to attract decent players and not rubbish hacks with the cap money
If the Sharks aren't in trouble, then why were they seeking a $1M loan and why didn't the bank give it to them? How would you have paid your staff without the $500K they agreed to loan you? Considering that scenario, it may have been financially prudent and responsible to show some restraint and not spend your entire cap.

i dont bash clubs like some on here, i am a rugby league fan and i like to watch all teams play, i might take a swipe at a club, but its not what some on here are doing to my club and i dont like the crap that continually goes on about my club
Awe poor diddums. I belong to the most bashed club on this entire forum dude, so don't expect any sympathy from me.... harden the fug up.

your are hardly in a position to bash my club, considering souths were actually kicked out and were only let back in because a judge felt sorry for them

htfu....pull ya f*cken head in and read some of the illiterate brain dead sh!t people like you are posting..this sh!t in this thread is just down right f*cken pathetic by some people who call themselves league fans

woop di do, you cop wooden spoon crap

so worry about your own backyard before you go on a tirade about the sharks, cause as far as im concerned, souths are in a much worse position then us

TZ was making a statement about clubs in general not just us, but hey, you wouldnt know how to run a major sporting organisation

1. You borrow all the time. Ask Crowes accoutant.
2. Shane wouldn't say it. He needs Crowes permission.
3. Always nice to have a little extra for a rainy day. But alas, had you asked for a loan about that time? Damn those banks were being feisty and not wanting to lend, unlike the past. i think it had something to do with wanting to consider the impact of the financial crisis before they started to end again. I know many people who were made to wait along tome to get loans through at that time. Ahhhh for the day we have a rich movie star to rip off.
4. You do? I thought the dogs claimed that mantle! Just ask em, they'll tell ya

1: prove it
2: prove it
3: prove it
4: you get the point...

anyone can make up unsubstantiated statements and pass them as fact, how bout you try actually using evidence... and no the daily telegraph doesnt count...

If any club in Sydney can not afford to stay in the NRL during this economic crisis then I have no doubt the NSW cup would embrace them with open arms

Do you think the NRL would step in to save a club if they announced they needed $1mill to survive? If yes what would be the max the NRL would put in do you think?

NGR..you may as well borrow from a bank, when you have a rich daddy to keep propping you up..FACT

banks arent going to hand out sh!tloads of money willy nilly in this current climate, you dont need to be a phurkin economist to see that
