Wow, put me in my place.

Why tar all athletes when you can complete the investigation and then just ruin the reputations of the guilty.

Learn to use a question mark.

You alp lovers are all the same party before club.

I'm apolitical, sorry to disappoint.

Its nothing to do with putting you in your place it's about being able to reply to your post with out pulling it apart.

See if I do it like this then there's a few more steps especially when you are on a f**king phone

Ok.
Even though I'm not sure what you just said.

Agree 100% with aj, for once. What a monumental clusterf**k.

As much as people may think Jones and Gould are a*ses, I think we need this type of thing out in the media. This takes some of the pressure off of us. All of a sudden Joe Public, who doesn't give a f**k about the sharks btw, starts to doubt all of the other shyte and inuendo getting thrown about in the media. Maybe those cronulla pricks aren't drugos after all...


Hopefully some of the 'cut n paste' journo monkeys see there's more to the story and start throwing some more doubt around (away from the sharks and towards the investigation and its processes).

See this Jones/Gould story isn't about whether or not I like them, it's about playing the game and giving us some breathing space in the media. We don't want to be on the front page anymore!


Plus their rant will hopefully get up the nose of the NRL/ARL and ensure we get more support. I'm sure the new NRL CEO doesn't want this continuing any more than we do (especially if he's portrayed as not helping).

I understand they needed to protect the club but I also understand if it means they now have to go. Didn't have to be this way though... One bad week of panic may have cost the board dearly.

Jones is right though - this story is world wide. I first heard about it(the dark day press conf) in new york on espn.

 

[adamkungl]

Hard to disagree, regardless of your opinions on Gould and Jones.

The entire process has been utterly farcical.

Jones was standing up for the Sharks again this morning, more importantly standing up for the players welfare.
How dare he :roll:

I agree wholeheartedly.

Regardless of your political persuasion, your personal view on Jones, Hadley, Gould or anyone else of their type, it can only be a good thing.

What I am intrigued about is: WHY DIDN'T THE WHOLE CLUB JUST BUNKER DOWN AND - BY THEIR SILENCE - DECLARE: 'PROVE IT WHILE WE GET ON WITH THE SEASON'?

I wonder if there are financial elements to this... Obviously, bad publicity = no sponsors... Did the Board panic BECAUSE of financial pressures?

They have panicked... The Board will go down... But, have they taken the club down (completely) with them?

Maybe

Historically the board(s) have pretty much always panicked:

Bird
Seymor
Gow and his scissors
ASADA

Have I missed any more?
