    The worlds best cronulla sharks fan podcast

    I lost my head a bit there. It was a tough week. Yeah yeah if you put your neck out you gotta take the slings and arrows. That’s exactly why I put my neck IN and packed it up. So, f**k you very much, in a kind and friendly way.

    The worlds best cronulla sharks fan podcast

    Now I know why I avoid this joint like the plague. Unfortunate timing of my first log on in months. Thank God I don’t have to deal with this petty f**king bullshit anymore. You put yourself out there and all you cop is criticism and everyone knows how to do everything better. Well off you go...

    Glad you enjoyed it. Was a good one to go out on. I’m retiring. Thanks everyone for your support over the last six years.

    ‘He’s a coward’: Spud declares war on Gal

    Believe it or not this is kinda what happened EXCEPT... The club has an in house computer (all clubs do) with an official WADA/ASADA database. Gallen (and others) went to the database and checked the substances. There is a log of the check. At the date of checking it came back clear- the...

    Rona and the rebuild

    Don’t confuse the fact that there is roadworks with work continuing on the development. It’s essentially ground to a halt and we are behind.

    Financial fragility of the game

    No you weren't talking long term. You were hopeful that the shutdown might fit your preferred agenda of a competition rationalisation. You keep saying that the small suburban clubs 'offer nothing'; which is ironic given that if one of them fall over the whole house of cards might go. I'm not...

    Financial fragility of the game

    Let me say it for you again. Slowly. The best outcome- Is for every club- To survive the shutdown- And for the NRL to continue- Despite the current- Shortcomings of the competition structure. As soon as one club falls over the entire comp is in jeopardy- you get that right? The NRL has a...

    Financial fragility of the game

    Parasitic? Ok. I'm not going to argue with you because you clearly don't get it. These clubs are in a fight for their survival right now. The best outcome for the NRL is that the competition continues as we all know it, despite some of its shortcomings. Suggesting the Sharks or Manly draft a...

    Financial fragility of the game

    Idiotic statement. How precarious does the league look if the Roosters, Manly and Cronulla fold tomorrow? The broadcast contract is null and void right there because the NRL cant deliver the number of games and everyone potentially dies. The entire media department was sent home. There's no...

    Financial fragility of the game

    Clubs have far more fixed costs than just player salaries (which are largely paid by the NRL anyway). Office Leases, Utilities, Comms, Insurances, wages for essential staff (they can't stand everyone down). Given that there will be substantial demands for refunds for sponsorship and membership-...

    Financial fragility of the game

    LOLZ at the posters saying "My club will be ok because we are strong on**insert cherry picked metric**__________". With Leagues clubs closed and TV funds at a standstill the only metric that matters is CASH IN THE BANK. Even asset rich clubs are in jeopardy because how can you liquidate an...

    Nah. It was just before the diamond ring thing. That was a dumb move.

    An Honest assessment of Todd Greenberg

    I was in the Chairmans lounge with him for a Sharks game and spent 2/3s of the game at his table. He was good company, knowledgeable about the game, polite and totally receptive to ideas. It was clear he genuinely cares about Rugby League and outside of the media persona seemed likable. Random...

    Which coaches are packing their offices in 2020?

    Dunno why Saints fans are so keen on Flanno. Sure he got the Sharks a premiership but he also oversaw salary cap rorting, the ASADA mess and his last 2 decisions as head coach were to sign Josh Dugan and Matt Moylan to long term deals. The fallout of the salary cap mess is ongoing and the...

    Josh Dugan could start NRL season in reserves after rejecting Super League move

    There is legs to the twitter rumours that Dugan is looking for medical retirement but thats difficult because an injury has to be proven- when the club doctors can't find anything I'd say that the NRL doctors and physios will have similar trouble. I am led to believe that his full contract...
