Mods can you please address this. It is blatant discrimination.

Piss off Alien

That is some serious money. Why don’t they just buy the ARLC? That would sheik things up...

Sheik, rattle and bank roll

Qatar sheik wants to buy St George Illawarra Dragons: The Mole
Sheik to target Dragons

The Qatari sheik interested in getting involved in rugby league is poised to make a bid to buy the St George Illawarra Dragons.

One of the world’s wealthiest men with an estimated worth of over $60 billion, Sheikh Faisal Bin Qassim Al Thani is set to target the Dragons.

Reports emerged earlier this month that the oil tycoon is keen to invest in rugby league after learning of the game from Australian mates.

And WWOS has been told that Thani is considering buying the Dragons and attempting to make them a super power in world sport.

"We have heard he wants to buy the club but there is some resistance to it - believe it or not," a Dragons source tells me.

"Some officials are worried about losing their jobs and that could make the buyout not happen."

[Miller was a legend]

That last line shows everything wrong about the Dragons

 

[Coparugby]

Imagine the global talent he could buy for coaching, training, rehabilitation, administration, marketing etc

That last line shows everything wrong about the Dragons

Nailed it. If the story is true(I have big doubts that it is)then the point about club management being scared doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. An inward looking administration whose prioritiy is to look after themselves first & on field performance second. Nepotism at its finest.

 

[OzDragon]

Oh no! This would mean there will be some accountability within our management.

The horror!

Why is this a troll account? Why should I be banned? I'm asking legitimate questions. How is that different to everyone else. If anyone should get banned Its you for being homophobic. That is discrimination. Which according to the rules is an instant ban. I'm just hear to talk about league and it hurts when I hear comments like yours.

Yes you have as much right as anyone else to suck as much d**k as you like and I'm sure someone like El Dicko would supports you wholeheartedly on this.

 

[Pedge1971]

I wouldn't accept this. Qatar is a slave state in the 21st century, imports foreign workers and kills them, homosexuality is illegal, women are treated like garbage, it funds terrorism, supports sharia law. The list is endless.

Sounds like the USA...

Some of these comments prove why RL is struggling. Some really really really rich guy wants to invest in the game and you guys straight away put him down and make fun of him? This is a HUGE opportunity. If this guy bought a club like Newcastle. Then they would become the richest sports club in the Southern Hemisphere. Guy has probably read these comments and thought stuff em.

TRUMP !!

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

TRUMP !!

That declaration shows what a complete moron you are. You are an embarrassment to the NRL, not to mention the Sydney Roosters.

 

[POPEYE]

No matter how wealthy there is a limit to what the NRL will sanctify, the Sheik couldn't employ any better tactics than Nick . . . then again, there is no salary cap on talent scouts

It's a reference to that person being the poster formerly known as Alien, as Alien used to worship the f**kwit, you utter, utter, utter autistic f**k.

So RL is in a bit of financial strife? A rich sheik wants to throw in a bit of money, yet RL is reluctant to do this?
Strange! If it was English soccer they'd jump at the chance.
