The backslide into "regular shark programming" has well and truly begun.

No money. No sponsors. Negative press around supposed dodgy dealings.

The development will prevent us from ending up like Manly are or where we were in 2010/11 but the returns are far from rivers of gold and are still some ways off.

The squad next year looks thin in comparison to recent successful years- and its not unreasonable to predict a drop to 9th or 10th on the back of some bad luck.

Should've shut the doors in mid Oct 2016.

No money? Well it doesn’t help with the fair weather fan base we have who don’t turn up to games. We’re lucky to crack 12k to 13k when a Sydney team plays us and we’ve been around the top 4 for a few years now.

No sponsor? Looks like Barry Russell is better trawling our financial dealings from 2015 than knocking on corporates doors and making calls.

Negative press from dodgy dealings? How did the press get that information? See person responsible for no sponsor above. Clubs like Melbourne, Brisbane & Roosters must have been chucking at the stupidity!

Doesn’t look like the development will be rivers of gold but at least we are going to get something out of it. What we do with that money will be the key.

Squad isn’t that bad but it doesn’t scream Premiership at the moment unfortunately. However we definitely have some young guns coming through and I think in 2 or 3 years we’ll definitely be stacked with talent again. One thing we can’t fault the Club with it recent times is the young kids coming through. When the player market is tough we have this to fall back on and it might be time we lean on the kids are bit more now.

Why oh why would you ever think that hiring an ex player as the ceo would be a good thing.

Has there ever been a successful one? One that has had the forthought and vision to set up a club long term?

Hire externally, someone who knows business and has no connection to the club.
I don't mind Barry but you're spot on with the ex players comment. Only have to look as far as the putrid goons old boys club and the mess that joint is in. Gus has severely underachieved with the resources and talent he's had at his disposal too imo.

The squad is definitely weak. I reckon we finish 10th. Maybe luck into 8th with a week 1 exit.

If the team doesn’t make the 8, flannel needs to step aside. He is out of ideas.

Most teams starting to release their jersey for next year and we’re still without a sponsor. Embarrassing.

I agree with above comments. Unless we sign at least 2 quality players, be it a back and second rower, we’re in for a tough ride next year.

Silly thing to get embarrassed about.

I don't know how it's possible to come out scraping after one of the biggest booms in residential property prices ever....

Yet, here we are.

Where has the money gone?

You're easily embarrassed.
