how could poore go to the sharks????? i just dont get it, surely he aint that dumb


why?? because he probably knows more about the sharks financial situations than the general public do, the NRL were satisfied that the sharks will survive through all this after a meeting that was held last week but you don't seem to read about it because it's not newsworthy...:?

yeah but its more than just finance, what about the culture of the club its self? its prospects as a top team? and they are the most f**king boring team in the competition!

if they've made an iron clad guarentee to justin Poore, should he worry about that??

he'll be close to his business and family and getting paid big money, what does he care about the state of the club on and off the field now?? :?

"Daddy, why did you play at that club when all the men were jumping on one lady, she could have got squashed. Did you jump on her Daddy?"

well is he that dumb?

Say he is guaranteed of his salary even if the Sharks fold. Say the sharks are out next year. So he might get his full payout (if I was him I would make sure it was for the whole 3 years) and then get to sign on for another club and probably get paid too. So say the drags says OK, I'll sign you for 100K.

Then he would get $400K plus playing for the drags and still living where he wants to be.

The only downfall is that he is playing for the sharks.

NOTE: if it was me, I would say I would only sign for the sharks if the whole 3 years is guaranteed and paid for even if the club folds before those 3 years are up and I have an option to leave if another club takes the place of the sharks

do you honestly believe that he and his manager wouldn't negotiate such a deal or equivalent???

They could have him on the sidelines during the match and when its over, the winner gets awarded Justin Poore in a presentation ceremony then they do a lap of honour with Poore on their backs.

What good does the guarantee do if the club folds, and you are in a line of creditors wanting your money?

Not saying thats the scenario, but a guarantee in the circumstance where a club goes bust isnt may not be the strongest guarantee in the world.

i've heard that the leagues club is doing fine - but their footy club is rooted unless they get that development happening .... so a guarantee from the leagues club might make all the difference
