    Sharks captain Paul Gallen fined $10,000 for racist remarks at Micky Paea

    I love it, the player admits he said it, but fanboys can't bring themselves to. Very touching scene. Do you have a signed poster on your wall? As for racism, his comment contravened s 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act1975 (Cth). I submit that parliament is a better authority for what...

    Rugby league in dire straits in NSW as Queensland leads the way

    Those are your excuses, and you are entitled to them. Looking over time, and a graph would be great if you want to do one up: Manly have been in decline since 2006. Parramatta have been in decline since 2005. Their average is nowhere near the capacity, so any reduction is no good excuse...

    Sharks captain Paul Gallen fined $10,000 for racist remarks at Micky Paea

    Here are the steps again: Evidence: on field recording. He met with the NRL and admitted that he did it. There was a fine imposed. It is all on the public record that these things happened. You are the one saying that you know better. And of course, you have no way of knowing that whatsoever.

    By the way: I have already quantified them by giving a number. Perhaps you wish to qualify them.

    Lesson for Sydney there. They speak volumes. Bugger all upward movement. Bulldogs +2k Cronulla -3.4k Manly -4k Parra -9.8k Penright +0.4k Souths +2k Roosters +3.3k SGI +2.9k The best team of the batch, the RoosterS, have in ten years put on just 3300 a game. That that's 330 people a year...

    Ask the NRL. They control licences, not people on internet forums. That would be a duopoly, champ! ;-)

    Rugby league in dire straits in NSW as Queensland leads the way

    Memberships have increased, however this alone won't stave off problems. As for crowds, I have rounded these to type quickly, but you can look them up. 1999 / 2009 Bulldogs 16.9k / 18.9k Cronulla 13.9k / 10.6k Manly 17.9k / 13.9k Parra 23.2k / 13.4k Penrith 12.4k / 12.8k Souths 12.3k / 15.3k...

    Sharks captain Paul Gallen fined $10,000 for racist remarks at Micky Paea

    You know the steps that the NRL followed behind closed doors? You must be well connected. Or do you just take at face value what you pick up from the news? By the way, "punitive" isn't a big word. It is only three syllables. Ask your English teacher.

    Rugby league in dire straits in NSW as Queensland leads the way

    I think the NRL would have to look at it first in great detail to determine the impact of losing four teams at once. Similarly, they would have to determine how many teams Brisbane could support. I am sure that Brisbane could support more than one team, and some competition wouldn't hurt the...

    Rugby league in dire straits in NSW as Queensland leads the way

    Here you are putting words in my mouth again. You say that I something like Super League and that it won't work. I have said nothing of the sort, so your conclusion is false.

    Rugby league in dire straits in NSW as Queensland leads the way

    I am glad that we are now in agreement on that point. I have argued ad infinitum why Sydney needs fewer clubs. As to which ones, and the mechanisms for choosing them, see above. Note, few considered decisions come out of a ten second challenge to "name a club!". The NRL needs to sit down and...

    Gallop should be asked to stand down or be removed!

    I didn't make any claim.

    It is broke, but we are not death riding it. We love the game and want to see it improve. Maintaining the status quo will not improve things.

    Good thing you don't insult people, isn't it?

    I can see why he wouldn't bother. I offered a solution, and you refused to respond.

    Strangely enough, you consider yourself qualified enough to pass judgment on Queensland crowds. In any case, crowd figures of 7000 speak volumes.

    Gallop should be asked to stand down or be removed!

    I didn't make any claim about myself. I merely said that Gallen is a liar, which is morally dubious. I also note that there has been public discussion of the Sharks in light of morally dubious activities. All of this is on the public record. If you are embarrassed about it, so be it.

    Gallop should be asked to stand down or be removed!

    So he was a liar, as well as a villifier? What moral character this guy has. Still, moral character is part of the Cronulla ethos. Go the Sharks! (Literally.)
