Raiders. But they're just depressing this year ...and their forum is not nearly as entertaining as the Sharks at the moment. :lol:

PS - its not like I even have a grudge against your mob - other than they keep beating us. All this scandal sh*t would be much better if it was Manly, Easts or the Broncs.
no buts .

Surely the logic of someone terminally ill donating so extravagantly had to be questionable ... that had to be clutching at straws or akin to believing in Santa.

Incredible. I have no idea how to make any sense of this either way so I'm just hoping we win the next game.

Now what we really need is some bastard to come on here and says "See, I was just waiting to tell you I knew this..."

Gunna, calling Gunna ....

(we were just discussing via telephone this possibility AM this morning. )

Hey its a great time to be a sharks supporter. This is all character building stuff.

You'll all look back one day and say "remember when that bloke was going to leave us 13 million etc etc"

This is up there with the Good Doctor and the lovely Jeanine

Cool isn't it?

Cheers

Just on the news shorts During Deal or no Deal, he was definitely arrested. Showed footage of him being led away in Cuffs.

and the chick on Deal or no deal should be shot too.

You should be shot for watching Deal or No Deal.

Go outside and give yourself some uppercuts.

Just thinking about a few things:

  2. the disease he has (Shy-Drager Syndrome) has a life expectancy of 7-10 years from onset of symptoms
  3. therefore he's had the foresight to take out a sh*tload of life insurance by about age 20
  4. term life insurance for $13.8m taken out at 20, according to the Suncorp premium estimator, is about $1,240 a month.
  5. It would take about $20k of gross income to pay for that.
  6. That is a fair chunk of any 20 year old's wages. Not sure many 20 year olds would be thinking that far ahead.
  7. He is said to be a law student - and would have been sick and probably unable to work for a number of years, I expect, so hardly likely to have been earning much
  8. Hopefully he took out the insurance before he had any inkling of his illness. If not and he hasn't declared it to the insurer, chances are the policy will be void.
  9. I would expect any life insurer to demand a pretty extensive medical before agreeing to provide that sort of coverage amount.
I'm struggling to see how it all adds up, unless the guy was independently wealthy via his family or something.

No inside or local knowledge I can assure you. Just my finely tuned bullsh*t detector at work. Just remember the old adage - if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Ahh well Sharks fans, look on the bright side. This has to be one of the more light hearted headlines you've faced this year. He's not attached to the club in any way.

Hahaha. I find this one quite amusing in a very Aussie way. He's the Carl Williams of insurance fraud.
