Cronulla Sharks slam NRL over poor handling of women’s com

Put away the tin foil hat, the explanation is simple:
1. The NRL has a CEO that does not penalise a club with loss of points for 5 years of systemic salary cap cheating because “they aren’t doing it this year”....probably because they stopped when they were under investigation last year; &
2. The NRL has a chairman that doesn’t even know who the Cronulla Sharks are.

I rest my case your honour...

Will do bbb. You know why I think the sharks didn’t get in?

Because we have been vocal in supporting the women’s game in the past couple of years and have made the nrl look stupid on the topic. If the sharks were in then they would get a fair bit of the credit for bringing the whole concept to life.

This germ Greenberg just wants it to be an nrl story.

That very well could be the reason, Eion. All I know is that there is a stench about it , and it reaks of Politis.
 

Frenzy.

I have mild interest at best. Won’t miss chics league if it dies.

Just fix the proper game.

Chics playing league only has novelty value

When I saw the Sharks dish up a pile of shit against the Eagles last year, the only thing that made the game day bearable was watching the women run around. It’s actually great to watch. Good skills, good hits. And Barry mentioned he had 6 figure sponsorship lined up as well so that’s a damn good commercial start up.

I watched the women’s afl a little bit and for whatever reason it didn’t translate nearly as well as women’s league. Absolutely I want the club in this, its a grower.

Womens equality.
If they cant break through every male bastion theyre being discriminated against.

I dont want to watch an all male netball game.
I dont want to watch women play contact sport.

I dont even know what lm doing in this thread.
I just skimmed the title and saw 'handling of women'.

Letdown.

Let this farce from the NRL be a reminder to all of youse that are contemplating the idea of the Sharks moving base to a shared stadium at Loftus.

You can trust the quigs as far as you can kick em and their word is not worth a pinch of shit.

How NRL geographical would that move be to those pricks.

I'm almost certain thats what it is.

Cronulla made women RL players professional and basically shamed NRL into giving them a comp to play in.

I'd love the contracted Sharks women to give this shitty 4 team exhibition (its not a comp) the finger.

You guys having a go at the girls playing footy, its not just about them its also about the Sharks as a club and how much effort they have put into building this. To have the NRL snub them for the Rooters is a farce.

Bang on mate. The club has invested a lot of time and money into these Women.

Yep they have done a lot of work engaging the community & woman in particular.

The woman’s team was 1 way they used to achieve this...now they’ve been kicked in the teeth.
