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.
That’s not how sharks operate, it’s a boys club, just look at flanos staff. I know for a fact they got jobs because of connections in jnr footy in the shire. Not because they were qualified or the best at it.

Probably why Slothfield is tolerated. He’s a direct link between one of the powerhouses and the Sharks.

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.

2016 was fun ay

this is bullshit tho.
sliding back to the bad old days. f**kn dicks

Had those cards as a kid, they had plenty of name and photo mismatches. I remember a card (not that set) that had Richie Barrnett pictured but the name said David Peachey.

The Tele had something about a sponsor re-signing in a cutprice deal. Hopefully it’s us if there isn’t other options out there. I’d much rather us have a sponsor on there paying less than usual instead of the Best and Less jersey.

I’d rather freely advertise a charity than get ripped off. All depends on how big the gap is I spose.
