BREAKING NEWS: NRL to take ownership of Gold Coast @GCTitans #NRL

Story http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/...-in-wake-of-drug-scandal-20150224-13n2mp.html

Hopefully the NRL pay Darryl Kelly back every cent that he poured into the club. He is a good man who has done much for Rugby League not only on the Gold Coast but down in the Wagga area too

This will be the first real test of the integrity of the new administration. They have given guarantees that the Titans are safe on the Gold Coast, but they're about to have numerous expansion teams with a potentially much more financially feasible fanbase breathing down their necks.

 

[Red Bear]

Maybe like an a-league situation where they take control until the point they are able to sell the livence back to someone else to run the club?


On the recreational drugs thing again, even without factoring in them being young, having lots of money and in an area/age group where recreational drugs are common some of the actions shouldn't be a massive surprise. The comment you see sometimes is why would thye be so stupid to risk this when they are on big money/role models etc. A massive part of their success and why they get paid so much is their ability to take risks, back themselves. Risk/reward is a huge part of rugby league. It shouldn't, therefore, be a massive shock that they have a similar mentality off the park when this is embedded in their mindset from a young age.

Like a knights type situation?

why anybody that has it as good as dave taylor or greg bird would need to scatter their brains with this shit is beyond me no matter which way you spin it.

Its all good to say its just a recreational drug and no harm was done but the question that needs to be asked is ; would you want your daughter or son doing it?

 

[MrAnonymous]

Just f**k the titans off. No merkin gives 2 f**ks about them even the people in their own city. They are a waste of space. Give a team to Logan.or Perth.

Are they? When was this announced?

 

[El Diablo]

they haven't

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Titans guarantee? Smith said it in a press conference only a couple of days go

 

[Miller was a legend]

No they are talking about new franchises you mentioned

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

No they are talking about new franchises you mentioned

Do they have to say anything? The Titans are getting all these free rides and the Bears, the Pirates and the second Brisbane team continue to struggle to get a kick.

what free rides?

Using an AFL analogy like "get a kick"

Explains a lot.

 

[Diesel]

Theres no free rides, the NRL are protecting their investment/clubs. They need 8 games a week so it's eaiser to prop up an existing club than start a new one up, especially when the season is 10 days away.

 

[Pierced Soul]

Go Central Coast TitanSharks!

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

what free rides?

Tanking attendance and membership, players who can't behave, a history of incompetence in the Titans management and the location is a Rugby League graveyard and the NRL are going to the lengths of taking control of the license so they can clean up the mess.

That is a free ride.

 

[El Diablo]

rubbish

That is a free ride.
