Anderson given third warning

Vagana was quoted in the press on the weekend as saying that he has a get out clause in his contract and would not be joining the Sharks in 2004 if Anderson wasn't the coach.

Wasnt quoted, was reported to have told non-specific "friends". Did these so-called "friends" then call that grub Rebecca Wilson, whose "sources" include anonymous punters on web forums?

It was also reported that Kimmorley and Bailey have similar get out clauses.

Steve Rogers has said that Kimmorley doesnt have one and I'll take his word for it. It's doubtful whether or not Bailey still has one. Why a nobody (at the time) from the Northern Eagles would be offered a coach get-out clause in his contract, I'll never know.

Anderson, as coach, was obviously the lure to get these guys to the club

Well, in your opinion, but not "obviously". Kimmorley wouldnt have come along if it werent for Anderson, but then we'd still have Preston Campbell. Vagana was willing to go anywhere for a contract upgrade as he looks towards life after football.

The club is...rapidly becoming a laughing stock for the rest of the NRL.

Having some hard times but not the first football club board to have conflict with the coach. Most people who I know who arent Sharks fans are interested in what's been going on, but havent been laughing at me.

This needs to be resolved quickly, one way or another, and dragging it out until December is only going to leave a lot more uncertainty about the club, training, and a likely playing and coaching roster for next year.

That's right but it's hardly a crisis, particularly compared to what other clubs have gone through over the past 5 to 7 years.

Self destruction at Cronulla.

Hello Gold Coast Sharks

dragonslayer has valid points and i agree i reckon many of you are kidding yourself if you think good times are ahead if ANDO does go. If you thought this year was bad next year has the potenail to be the worst ever. Sort it out you fools!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lets all face it, Pierce is a fat swine who is trying to pull Sharks down. Bring back Mr. P Gow anyday.

Obviously, the media is having a field day with this. Expect it to be drummed up even more in comming weeks.

We all know that if it is true that players leave, we are stuffed. If we want a chance at the top 8 next year, we need Noddy, Bails, Vagana if they do have escape clauses. We need Ando too. A team is nothing without a coach. Hell, he made mistakes and lost us good players. If Pierce chops him away, we are even more stuffed.

Pierce, piss off from Cronulla.

My mail was that in the incident that earned Anderson his third breach notice he physically assaulted Steve Rogers. (ie, he grabbed him by the shirt front and threatened him). If this is the case, tell me one employer that wouldnt send an employee packing?!

If your mail is correct PB, then he has got to go. That is sacrilege. But if he does go, the Board should fall on its sword as well. This whole episode has been very poorly handled and it seems likely that a lot more negative publicity will surface in the coming weeks.

I'll never stop following the Sharkies, but things are looking very bleak for 2004. God knows what the players must be thinking about all this!

millersnose · Oct 14, 2003

My mail is that the evil anderson shot mr rogers with death rays from planet zion

wow this is fun

i also heard that if anderson goes we will have to give him 500 gazillion dollars and all our players will leave also

dannyboy · Oct 14, 2003

Damn...my mail is all bills

haha ...i missed that one! .........Its a corker

shadowboxer · Oct 14, 2003

Nice work millers. It isnt very constructive though as it will probally be on the last page of the sunday paper. Danny wielder reports that Anderson really is an alien and steve rogers the creature from the mangrove swamp

I was going to start a new topic on this but thought it should go here instead.
If this is the third breach when and where did the other 2 occur?
When Ando criticised(spell)? the ref and copped a fine?(every coach in the comp would have a breach notice if this is correct-especially R.Stuart and theres no way he'll get punted).
Might give me some idea on just how long the board has tried to get rid of Ando.
Most of the comments I've read have come from Ando so I think we are mainly getting his spin on things.
Strangely nobody has confirmed what the other breaches were for and if anyone really cared?

missbelinda77 · Oct 15, 2003

Fox - One of the breaches was for abusing the ref (Rod Lawrence) and incurring a $10,000 fine.

Not sure what the other breach was for - unless it was the "back me or sack me" episode in Canberra? I'm sure someone else will be able to advise us on this.

Jimbo · Oct 15, 2003

The board came out after the 'back me, sack me' thing in support of Anderson. Giving him a breach notice at the time would seem a little strange...

CliffyGC · Oct 15, 2003

seriously i find it hard to believe so many people are blaming the sharks board.

The only mistake they made was getting rid of lang.

Cast your minds back to 2001 you guys were so close to beating newcastle in the prelim final with out Ando and his little mates there.

Everywhere Chris has gone its ended in grief Canterbury 1997
Melbourne 2001 and now Cronulla.

Sadly the difference is you guys havent one a comp before it hit the fan unlike dogs and storm.

I believe his favourtism is total unprofessional, how can anyone justify preston campbells treatment by anderson, or stalwarts like Grahme and Treister.

All this talk of winning culture is Bullshit, it makes great jokes and sigs for manly fan

but its bullshit.

You guys were developing a winning culture you had been in prelim finals in 1996, 1999 and 2001 as well as the 1997 SL Grand Final sooner or later you were going to crack it for comp under Lang.

One of you lot said to me today you dont care that you havent one a comp but you guys do and thats why there is so much impatience from your board for results.

No matter what happens there no way you will break the drought in 2004 now.

Coolumshark · Oct 15, 2003

Cant believe you've got Arko's pic in your avitar...banner whatever you call it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I must agree I was a bit shocked that they sent 'ol mate (Langy) packing...when he was Cronulla's most succesful coach of all time!!!!
YES!!!!...Its becuase we're all blinded by the fact that we havent won a comp! stupid stuff really......look what happened this year :?

And diddnt we all cheer for Langy's mob..."Penulla"??

WELL now theres 3 things you can be sure of....death,taxes and The Sharks never winning a premiership!!

Not in my life time anyway

I reckon I've only got 30 or 40 yrs left!

why mate Arko was a great man that took our game from the doldrums of the humphries era in to what we have now.

Murdoch would never have wanted League if Arko and Quale hadn't made it such an attractive comp it was in the late 80s early 90s.

I think Gallop will be remember in the same vain hes doing a super job
