Sharks Statement regarding ADASA
Written by: Cronulla Sharks
Mar 6, 2013 6:46pm

Sharks fans and all rugby league supporters can be assured the club has been very proactive in fully cooperating with ASADA and taking other measures that prioritise the integrity of our club and the welfare of our playing group.

While there are strict boundaries around what we can say while the ASADA investigation is ongoing, fans should be assured that as soon as there is an opportunity to provide further information we will do so.

What makes you think that? I don't know how much this stuff costs but I'm guessing the club aren't wasting $$ on the reggies.

And if the players bought it themselves...........they might well be rooted.

Two reasons - the star players can afford stuff that is not easily tested for (human growth hormone). And the fringe players/NSW cup could be willing to take risks to become established first graders.

That's quashed it............!

I'd be more worried as a Sharks fan after reading that statement.

 

[innsaneink]

I need to get my tips in by 3pm at work tomorrow dammit

Foxsports reporting Sharks lawyers have been negotiating 6 month bans for the players in question

 

[Grapple]

I can't imagine what it's like to be a Sharks fan at the best of times, but right now must be pretty frustrating.

 

[beave]

@BuzzRothfield Just filed my report on the Sharks crisis for tomorrow's @telegraph_sport - looks like being another year of shattered dreams #hopeimwrong

Pretty serious coming from a bloke who is convinced they're going to be premiers every year.

Omg. I'm shattered.better buy the paper since he is a shark supporter must be bad. Buy multiple copies BM

 

[BranVan3000]

Year is over for Sharks. Won't be able to field a team and the rest of the teams will pick the corpse for players who want out

 

[BunniesMan]

I feel sorry for Rothfield as a Sharks fan. Doesn't mean I rate him as a journo, or even on a personal level.

If any of these rumours are true I feel sorry for all of their fans. It's bad for all fans of rugby league.

 

[whall15]

I just hope it gets sorted out quickly, we don't need this dragging on

I didn't say that. I won't be buying the paper. I just think that usually Rothfield is extremely confident when it comes to the Sharks. Thinks they'll win every week. Thinks they'll be premiers every year. So to hear him be so pessimistic has a greater effect than someone who usually shits on the Sharks.

 

[Pete Cash]

I'd feel sorry for him if he would stop crying about Ferguson. I had a good lol when he scored against them in the final series last year after he snarked the Raiders earlier in the year.

it's great all the time - never dull for a start.

it builds passion like you wouldn't believe.

you just get used to shit not going your way.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

builds character i guess.

Is BS for the fans of the Sharks if their team is decimated because of a few that are trying to make a name for themselves. The fans are with their club for life while most players and support staff are there to make money as its their job
