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

I posted this on book face. I reckon the arseoles have decided that the Sharkie Girls are too strong and if the club is excluded from the first years of the competition, those contracted players can be spread among the other teams to make the comp competitive. It stinks to high heaven it really does. The excuse is bullshit and has influence and back handed deals written all over it. Would love for the club to pay the girls the salary they would have received just to sit out and watch in protest. Seriously, these people that made this decision are total utter merkins.

So what comp are they currently playing in now? Ive seen a fair few of the womens games by attending our home games and i have enjoyed watching them all. The girls can play. Its refreshing to see a game that relies more on skill than bash bash bash. I love what the girls do for the club off the field too. Sim's and Ferguson mostly, that girl is a die hard Sharky through and through.

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.
Totally BBB.
A farce.
But Idiots will make idiot decisions. A fact of life.
And Idiots run the game so what other result could there be.

Theres only 3 or 4 clubs who rate in the NRLs vision.

The idiot whos in charge didnt even know we were the sharks.
Whats that tell us.

But personally its like if they ban camel racing l dont care. Im not into it.

The other thing about female involvement in our sport is how they will influence their kids in regard to sport. If female involvement is more prevalent in soccer and AFL then the flow on effect will be away from Rugby League.

Pretty pissed that Ruan Sims hasn’t gone into bat for the club as much as I thought she would. Rather saying she is incredibly happy there are 4 teams which will make the comp strong. FFS Ruan fire up

EXACTLY! I might add "influence their kids,other women and rest of the community"

And the bonus is that unlike those other "sports" the womens version of rugby league when played by the good teams like the sharks is actually a great spectacle (I admit this surprised me!).Sharks have led the way in showing how to do it and already have some ready made fans on board so now its time to hand it over to NRL and watch them stuff it up!

Yeah the silence is quite curious Snoop.......expect her to kit up in a Rorters or Goons jersey as well as the other girls. All wrapped /excited for the new competition but no mention of not being able to play for the Sharks......Reckon Vin is on the money.......spread the talent around,

We (the Sharks) must never forget this day and the decision. It is NRL reality. There is a bloody huge lesson to be learnt from this ridiculous NRL bullshit.

It is just so wrong in everyway. We should of been one of the first teams included as we had all the runs on the board.

The Sharks need to be vigilant and on the front foot well before the NRL attempts to make any announcements or upcoming "big" decisions.

Those quigs are gunning for the Cronulla Hawks - you mark my words.

Move to Loftus BE f**kED !!!! .... We need to bunker down at Shark Park and start screaming to the world all the great things that are happening out of the only Club owned ground in the NRL. Securing our future etc.

The decision smacks of brown paper bags all over the joint.

We (the Sharkettes) are just collateral damage right now.

Greenberg and Co is just hoping that we will roll over and just sit quietly in the corner.

Conspiracy theory # 1379:

They are doin' it because their grand plan is to make us the Adelaide Sharks... Why consolidate a club that is eventually going to be moved...?

Nah ....got nothing to do with relocation Blue.......more about distributing the talent about so they don't have a lopsided comp. Looking into it a bit....there was a 40 player nationwide squad named a few weeks ago by the Nrl that they will primarily draw on to fill the 4 teams. Out of that squad of 40.......5 were Sharks..... 4 were Rabbits.....4 were Dragons and none were Roosters. If you consider the geographical excuse offered up the Rabbits were just as unlucky as the Sharks not to be given a team. Effectively these 40 girls are contracted to the Nrl and are now free agents to be signed by any of the 4 teams. Hence no bitching by Ruan and the rest because they were aware that there was no promise of where they would end up or even if their current club would be part of the initial competition.

Originally the NRL was going to give out 6 licenses, and 6 clubs applied how easy was that.

The AFL must be laughing again, how the NRL can screw everything they touch up
