You got it all wrong man. Mother Teresa could be coach and the undermining would continue. Rescind rothfields membership. Ban him for life as a persona non grata which is in the constitution. Send a message to the white ants and leaks.
Then someone else will write the stories, in fact they'll probably dig deeper. Just don't f**k up all the time.

Well it was an email or two from almost 5 years ago
So it’s hardly “All the time”.

I reckon he has paid for his crimes more than any other f**ker who was in charge at the time.
Or any other coach who has done way worse
Bellamy for example.

Besides unless the NRL integrity unit has leaked confidential info to Rothfield then it could end up being sweet f**k all.

Still can’t work out what takes these merkins so
Long to work this shit out.

ASADA
2 years -50 billion bucks
No positive tests
And a bullshit backdated suspension .

Update.

I am almost 100% confident there is no leak to Rothfield from within Sharks HQ. He only has one ally left on the board (McConnell) and he has been confronted by other board members enough times that this source has dried up.

The info is coming from the NRL. We know this because Rothfield keeps providing information that the Sharks themselves do not know (for example a Tuesday determination).

I heard Beattie on radio ABC News yesterday afternoon talking about the future pathway of the game. His commentary went for a few minutes.

He spoke of expansion, RELOCATIONS, and also mentioned that term that they used for the 4 team girls comp. The one about being Geographically Beneficial for the Code.

This bloke that calls us The Marlins and Barcelona Newcastle, well we know that the "Code" is in good hands.

Well if that is the case BR needs to go to Todd and ask how the hell the telegraph finds out before he does.

Start to boycott some games like round 1 with 24 hours notice and play hardball.

The game is farked.

Exactly
Everyone can think what they want of Barry but when he was asked what was in the emails he genuinely looked absolutely clueless.

The NRL are the only ones with the info.

I watched the Barry Russell interview, as well.

He came across as being ‘a man under pressure’. As much as that is part of the job, you have to do better than that.

The ‘honesty is the best policy’ approach does not appear to be working...

He handled that interview OK, we had NRL leaks to Rothfield that these farkwits haven't even disclosed to the Sharks about the future with the current coach. Russell emphatically said more than once that Flanagan is and will be the coach next year. The fact that 6 months later these incompetent imbeciles at head office can't come to any conclusion and put this to bed, not only for Cronulla but the good of the game just shows what an amateurish outfit that it really is. Greenberg thinks he is being clever with these half statements about what was disclosed and what they have found when really he just looks like a moron who wants to milk this to the enth degree and cause as much damage along the way as he can.

A real NRL CEO would have had this concluded months ago, if sanctions were warranted they should have been executed and be going into the new year promoting the game and putting all this crap behind it.
Yet he says it's in no hurry and will let this drag on into the new season starting with negative and in some cases ludicrous headlines from crisis merchants and Sharks haters in the media.
Where could any reasonable person with tuppence worth of brains find that acceptable when you are the one in charge of running and promoting the game?

A former Labor politician, and we will get Shortnin bread to look after us.
Nothing to see here.

Another board member steps down

Unsurprising. On the back of my Sharkcast profile I have a walk up start to the board- if I want it.

What gets forgotten is board members have personal liability for the clubs finances. Several sage business people with no vested interest told me to stay well away when I contacted them for input. Read into that what you will.

I saw a "report" today where they got quotes off You, and the Sloth!
How do you feel about that?
Haha
