You non-Illawarra side of the merger love to paint an extraordinarily inaccurate picture of denial when it comes to what took place "way back when".
You also love to put sh*t on other clubs, especially The Sharks because they've "won bugger all".
For some strange reason, reminding you lot that you've also won nothing is too much to handle for many here.
I acknowledge Souths track record since the late 80's to 2006 was atrocious however, I would like to think that the supporters got off their arses and fought for change in the same manner we fought to survive in our own right.
Another club that has recently undertaken the hard yards is also a club that many of you lot also like to put sh*t on, Parramatta.
I sincerely look forward to the day when they win another premiership - I know many of you lot would seethe at that prospect.
And now we have Cronulla, battered from pillar to post and their members are also facing a watershed moment.
Delivering change will hopefully kick start them into a golden period and their long suffering fans will see at least one premiership.
It probably won't be this year but as long as it's soon, I'd be stoked for them.
You lot wouldn't be though, you're just haters.
I believe the hate stems from the merge.
It's portrayed by those most affected by that scar as "a takeover", or the even more laughable "it's not a merger, it's a joint venture". :lol:
Carn' The Sharks.
They've managed to survive in their own right and I'll continue to respect them for it.
