Yep, everyone on this forum bar the Peptide rusted ons and several figures in the RL media is "just you". Sure Jan.

No only gullible fools who are stupid enough to believe the rubbish sprouted by so called journos with an anti Shark agenda like Kent and Hooper!!

Well said SB, There is s great banter between the Sharkies and the Dragons fans but it’s like family feud but when it comes to the Storm it’s completely different

I understand...

I totally get why Sharks fans are upset--- In 20 years the Melbourne Storm have been more successful, got a higher crowd average and a higher membership based out of a club based in Victoria than the Sharks have been able to do in 50.

What's it like supporting a club who's "best ever" player who has the record for most losses in NRL history? While also been known as a deadset merkin and drug cheat.

Would you do the same for drug cheats who won Olympic medals? If Olympians can get caught cheating after the fact and be stripped of medals I don't see why the NRL can't do the same.
great analogy, Cam Smith is delusional. Salary cap cheating is no different to using performance enhancing drugs.

Not a Parra fan but that was a fairytale run that deserved a Premiership. I'm still filthy on the Storm.

If you’d had to wait 50 years for a premiership we might have been a little more sympathetic to your club bending the rules.

What’s it like supporting a club whose “greatest ever” is the grubbiest, most cheating merkin to ever lace a pair of boots. A bloke who is so talented that he would have been a great of the game without the grubby shit, but has decided to take the low road his entire career. A bloke who is such a piece of shit that the halfback who helped him forge his career won’t even acknowledge him.

Want to talk about our “greatest ever”? It’s a difficult conversation to have with so many to choose from.

You tell me... I don't support a club that features Paul Gallen.

Please. Gallen had little choice but to be grubby. He was always a limited player so he had to find an edge somehow. He chose the grubby and determined route.

Smith on the other hand would have been a contender for GOAT regardless, but is such a piece of shit that he can’t resist being a grubby merkin.

Whats it like for such a great club like melb to lose a gf to such a little club like cronulla? Especially fifita running over the top of captain grub

It must really sting and embarrass you so much that it eats away your insides. Cant ever take that pain away.

I'm sure he took a position overseas. Hence the reason why he resigned.

I dunno why he resigned mate. I wasn't even using it as a slur against your mob, just pointing out the hypocrisy and irrelevance of bring up how long some Sharks CEOs have hung around.

.... well considering that half the Cronulla squad has been suspended in their career for peptides and the other half has been involved in a systematic rorting of the salary cap— it feels like how most of you feel about the Storm premierships in 07 & 09.

The Sharks premiership has always been tainted in my eyes and I believe it’s only a matter of time before the NRL grows some balls again like in the Gallop days and strips them of it.

Just to remind you lot, when Jarryd Hayne left the NRL to pursue his NFL dream, Smith came out and said he was surprised because although he's won SOO and a World Cup. He doesn't know what the feeling of winning a premiership is like. This ironically after his team cheated Parramatta from finally winning premiership. This in itself speaks volumes about his character.

If you think a "reasonable" average home crowd to be 12,700 in 2018 and a membership figure of 15,802 in 2018 is "reasonable" and demonstrates a strong NRL club in the middle of league heartland, either you are delusional or the NRL can't be a real national competition. Those numbers are woeful for a club in the biggest Rugby league city in the world.

Interesting you take a swipe at Storm fans for not travelling to away games-- they have to take a plane to get there, Cronulla fans are reluctant to even jump on a train a Allianz Stadium.

Lost the salary cap argument so now it's crowds and membership.

02/10/2016 14-12 FOREVER. No asterisk. No argument. No worries.

Sure :wink:

You had players who had already been banned for peptides, players receiving money outside of the salary cap in the years both before and after the premiership.

If you honestly think that 20 years from now the sporting world won’t look back on that premiership as tainted you are deluded.
