    It’s great. important for another year with AFB coming in. Dont really know what sort of a ‘culture’ guy AFB is, Cam will keep him honest.

    New Sombrero in town

    Yeah not sure about rec flights, but likely a few will be included. they’ll be bouncing back to Sydney every few weeks anyway. What they save in accom and tax will dwarf any costs anyway.

    New Sombrero in town

    They are pushing the players to live there, and they’ll need to to get the tax break. plenty of players without families, and plenty with babies or toddlers and they could convince themselves they can set themselves up if they park their asses by a pool for a couple of years. Will likely be a...

    New Sombrero in town

    From an NRL point of view, there isn’t much to lose. Albo kicks in for 600 mill, opens up more sponsors, players, broadcasting, international cred. If it goes tits up the nrl really hasn’t lost much, they go back to their established model. It’ll be the government who wears the flak for wasting...

    PNG's back.

    My guess is they are ok with it generally and won’t look to get rid of it like an offshore wind farm. But they are probably being quiet in case it develops into a f**kfest of corruption so they can piss it off and blame albo.

    Yeah I have some recollection of that, couldn’t find sauce

    Has this been confirmed? I assume there has been at least a “we won’t kill it” agreement by the libs, buI i havent seen anything

    Agree. Why wouldn’t the nrl go for it? The worst that happens is that it fails and albo largely gets the blame for wasting money.

    Some may see it as a 2-3 year money grab and go for it. But let’s face it, moresby is a dangerous, hot place and they’ll need the tax incentives and more to get anyone there

    Has bipartisan support been confirmed? Or have the libs at least agreed not to scuttle funding if / when elected?

    Sharks Related Podcast Eps

    Sharkcast. Something about ET Stand that annoys me tbh. Maybe it’s a generational thing where they do things like pronounce new ‘nou’. And I find them a bit smug. One of their blokes is good with juniors and stuff so it’s all worth a listen, but I lIke Sam a lot more. Good on everyone that...

    Sharks Hall of Fame

    A good list. Ive got the big boppa ahead of Dane and Matt, but they’ll all get there eventually.

    Petty things that give you the shits…

    Nothing petty about that. Mate, one of my worst experiences was a 14 hour flight from Vancouver next to the fattest dude I’ve seen. Old mate literally oozed over my seat. Full body contact from ankle to shoulder. Nothing either of us could do about it, full flight.

    Stadium Re-development Thread

    Whatever they end up doing they have to make sure there are a bunch of shit speakers perched on top of 20cm diameter metal poles jutting up through eye lines every 5 metres or so.

    AFB

    In hindsight I agree about Ennis 💯. But at the time I thought he was a washed up pest. Also thought TTG would bring us to the promised land. Wrong on both counts.

    AFB

    That’s an interesting one, who have you looked forward to seeing the most in Sharks kit post signing? I am very excited about AFB, he is a genuine top 3 prop, but only make my for 5 ‘excited for signing’ leaderboard. My top 3: Noddy - putting aside the train wreck of Anderson and how it worked...

    Maybe with the weight gain for Jnr, flange has designs on him moving into hooker when cooky finishes. Then DA to 6.

    Rumoured / Confirmed Signings

    Tend to agree. $500k for 3 years was too much for us for a likely reserve half and sometimes benchie. For the goons it’s probably worth the risk, hoping he can elevate to a gun half. With DAs attitude he’ll always be worth a squad spot somewhere, so can be offloaded if needed. But I don’t see...
