Or, just imagine this, as those incidents are matters for the courts, there is no new information coming to light and they can only rehash stories a certain amount of times. Sharks are bringing this on themselves, and no one else.
Or, dream this:
In the past, the Tele and SMH have always stopped writing about incidents when no "new information" has come about. They never, ever, try and keep a story going just to sell papers.
I can imagine the NRL having a collective sigh of relief

The NRL level Playing Field.

But don't worry Sharkies, always remember we've got this bloke in our corner to fight for us

He'll come out swinging like he has during our past troubled times.

To those blowing up at the NRL- wake up.

This is an outcome manufactured wholly by Shane and his blatant disregard for the rules.

He was suspended by the NRL for his cataclysmic failures of process during the time Dank was at the club and the raft of ASADA and WADA rules broken. Relative to the maximum he received a light penalty. Players welfare was severely jeapordised under his watch.
The terms of his suspension were clear. No contact with anyone at the club. Do not turn up to the club. Do not get involved with any decisions. You are suspended. He even had to apply for dispensation to watch Kyle play. His only burden during this holiday was attending an NRL course that spelled out the terms of this ban and how he can improve as a manager to meet the minimum standard. The documents that he submitted during this course with his signature attached stated that he understood these terms. Despite all of this, he had his hands all over player management decisions, squad assembly, fitness programs etc etc. Yeah, he didnt coach the side per se but players were sending him god damned training notes and it has now been uncovered that he was at the centre of some real dodgy salary cup stuff.

He has given the NRL no choice. There hasn't been a coach in history which has been so regularly in contravention of basic NRL rules.

Had Barry not self reported we would not be in this mess, this is true, but Shane made this bed.

That's the whole point, if he'd kept away contactwise as spelt out quite clearly for him, and printed in every newspaper on this brown land and noted in the electronic media, he and certainly we wouldn't be here discussing the issue nor the outcome.
I've lost all sympathy ,and I'm really a 2nd chance guy.

Yep...if it was another coach/club we would be thinking that guy has to go.

When its your own club the blinkers come on. And thats fair enough. Thats passion.

But maloney and ennis and barba did flanno a huge favour. Won us our first premiership and that can cloud ones view on this.

But take 2016 out of the equation and we see a guy probably not quite up to managing a professional club. We have been knee deep in shit season after season for one reason or another

A shame he didnt come through the system under a bellamy or bennett rather than ricky.

He spent over a decade under sticky at the Rorts and us...and stickys another guy who constantly leaves clubs in a mess.

How can the NRL deregister Flanno for this but then register the contract of that grub Matt Lodge who almost killed somebody.

I know Flanno broke the rules but come on how about some clarity here.

Yep. Take the emotion out of it. The guy has damaged the club a hell of a lot in his tenure. Probably 1m plus in fines, more in loss of sponsors.

Thanks for turning off the porch light but there’s no coming back from what Frank outlines.

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe has been sensationally de-registered by the NRL over alleged breaches of the salary cap.

In a major bombshell, the Tigers face being penalised more than $600,000 from their 2019 salary cap on top of a fine expected to be in excess of $700,000.

The stunning breach notice and penalties have emerged in wake of a two-month investigation by the NRL into an undeclared arrangement worth more than $400,000 over four years promised to Farah during his ugly departure from the Tigers in 2016.

Pascoe offered the ambassador role to Farah as a show of goodwill as Farah was pushed out of the club because of a fallout with then coach Jason Taylor, who was sacked in early 2017.

Pascoe was informed of the decision by the NRL alongside Tigers chair Marina Go this morning.

Pascoe has been warned he must not communicate or come into contact with any players, officials or board members of the club.

He will have 30-days to respond to the breach notice of which the Tigers intend to vehemently defend.

NRL boss Todd Greenberg is expected to announce the penalties at a midday press conference.

The decision came just before the NRL was due to hand down its decision on the future of Sharks coach Shane Flanagan.
