Well tbf he's not wrong.

This coming from the guy who tells people to f**k off if they don't agree with him. Classic.

Tell us you know nothing about Sydney when you know nothing about Sydney.
Why should fans of Sydney clubs have to travel over an hour away from their team's home ground to travel to the eastern suburbs of the city?
This is not the f**king AFL where 9 out of the 10 Victorian clubs are all within 10-15 mins of each other so playing at the MCG & Marvel works.
Sydney is far more spread out and as I said in here the distance between Cronulla & Manly, heck it's a shorter easier drive down the freeway to Wollongong than it is to get to Brookvale.
Two clubs on completely opposite sides of the metropolitan area playing home games in the eastern suburbs is a nonsense.

I really love all these pathetic excuses some of you Cronulla fans keep coming up with. Meanwhile you have Cowboys fans who will drive hours to see their team play, and Dolphins fans who regularly travel from Redcliffe to Suncorp to see their team play. But instead you decide to kick up a stink because someone mentioned Sharks fans travelling 30km up the road once a year.

Seriously get a grip.

Nobody put a gun to the heads of Queensland clubs to join the then NSWRL in 1988.

It was perfectly fine for decades when Sydney & Brisbane had separate competitions.

Personally I wish it was still separate competitions and Newcastle stayed in theirs.

Sick to f**king death of ignorant arsehole supporters of out of town clubs telling Sydney people they think they know their own city better than they do.

Seriously just stfu you have no f**king idea.

Whether it be to agree or disagree. Unfortunately he calls everyone a flog. This is his nature!

He doesn’t do sane and rational debating.

You don’t need to be Einstein to see the problems Cronulla sharks have.

It's the NRL now, and these clubs are important to Rugby League in this country.

Unfortunately for you, we are a national game (well international technically). That means you have to deal with us non-Sydney teams.

Why are you on here then?

Seriously just stfu you have no f**king idea.

Probably don't try to silence people.

Edit: We all want to see the Sharks go well off the field. Maybe my ideas are shit and I have no idea, but I'm allowed to express those ideas, just like fans from other clubs can talk about the Knights all they want. I’m going to leave it at that.

Well stop telling Sydney people you think you know Sydney better than they do.

Simple matter of the fact is forcing clubs to play home games miles away from their home bases would be an absolute joke.

Again It's not the AFL where 9 out of the 10 Victorian clubs are all within 10 to 15 minutes of each other where playing at the MCG and Marvel works.

One of the beauties of rugby league is supporting your local team at your local ground.

Playing miles away in a soulless cookie cutter stadium to appease the prawn sandwich brigade isn't rugby league.

I'd hate for rugby league to become the dull, boring sanitised corporatised shitshow that is the AFL.

Telling people they should have to travel an hour plus in Sydney traffic or on trains to watch their team's home game miles away from their actual home is a nonsense.

How about we move Newcastle to the SFS then?

Nearly every post you make attacks Cronulla. Give it a rest you flog.

Endlessly criticising one club, which is what you have done, suggests an obsessive hatred.

Vlandys is a big fan of Sydney clubs so what this flog thinks is his problem. My personal view is, given the unprecedented and unexpected lift in crowds it’s a good time to look at strategic responses to capitalising on this growth. And that requires careful planning and collaboration with clubs. And it’s not as easy as some think.
