not sure how well "Sharks" as a brand would go down here given the number of the big buggers that keep eating people! lol.

No way NRL will let them go under, if it is money issue they will give a loan or something I am sure. For all the talk of relocation, too many teams etc I see no indication, in fact quite the opposite, that the NRL has any intentions of seeing teams go under or move any time soon.

Will take a fair few years for Cronulla to recover reputation etc but the development comes at a good time to see them financially survive the fall out and the fans will stick by them I am sure.

Surely this if true it is case over?

So when do we find out about the organised crime bit?


You'd think so, but given we had an AFL player admit on national television that he was knowingly injected with an S0 banned substance dozens of times then continue to play without sanction who the f**k knows anymore.

I mean seriously it seems like there are going to be a half dozen sharks players taken down by this, and god knows how many bombers players. The NRL and AFL should have just bit the bullet and banned these idiots back in february when they found out about it, which it looked like the NRL was willing to do till the AFL started trying to weasel their way out of it and the NRL followed suit

Don't forget a number of ex Sharkies now playing at other clubs.

Flo should get ready for a quick entry of the Central Coast Bears in 2014.

That is an ACC/State police matter, not ASADA.

Is that better?

http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/an...ng-investigation/story-fndujljl-1226577438678

ASADA released fresh details of the scope of its investigation after growing questions about why the ACC report had yet to spark a police investigation. At least one loophole has allowed the legal sale by criminals to athletes of performance-enhancing drugs but the ACC made specific claims about players selling illicit drugs and doctors writing illegal scripts.

A spokeswoman for the ACC said last night she expected police investigations could still take place but The Australian reports today that the ACC did not gather any new information about organised crime or doping in sport through its own phone taps. And Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Ken Lay has backed comments by other state forces that the ACC investigation has not provided any basis for a criminal investigation.

you said this on May the 12th

Since we are quoting people

What are they waiting for?


so which day is the most likely that Labor will try and grab some headlines seeing Origin is on Wednesday?

Origin is over. Why no big announcement? After all, this was all a conspiracy by the afl and Labor to destroy origin.

And who could forget this one

what are the odds that AOD9604 suddenly gets cleared by WADA?

I see s0 hasn't been repealed yet.

Either way, I'm not sure why you'd be so quick to paint him as a liar EL D, when you are more than happy to take other players words that they haven't done certain things that have been reported by the media.

That is his entire m.o. throughout this whole thing. Anything that sounds bad for the nrl is automatically assumed to be a lie, whereas anything bad about the afl is 100% true and correct. Notice how the afl guy admitting it means it is true despite teammates of his denying it, but Gordon is automatically assumed to be a liar and just in it for the money?

So you can provide proof of you questioning the afl guy's motives like you did with Gordon?

You also automatically believed the recent article by Wilson, Hooper and Massoud in regards to the supposed deal with the afl, but every time one of their articles about the investigation into the sharks is posted, you dismiss it and wish they would die.

i did

just go back to Bigpoofy

I don't see any links in any of those posts.

Between you and I, there is only 1 of us that admits to watching afl and that is you.
