What is wrong with having Scomo there. It’s not like he did the touchy-feely stuff himself. Unlike what Bill Shorten did to that young girl many years ago and Dictator Dan telling the Victorian police not to investigate
Shhh. Its not the same when its you side of politics, only when the other guys do it.

I think he said something along the lines of he thought the development was too big and hoped it would be reduced in scope. Not ideal true, but not a lot different to some fans positions on here and not a ‘I’m against any development’ position bbb.

If it were me, I’d have a 200 story monster to make us a powerhouse and to hell with the traffic that I’d have to live with.

Mate I know what you are about, and you're alright in my books.
I really just have no respect for the bloke, I think he is the phoniest Sharks supporter out there. He was never to be seen when we were down and out, we all were. If he'd been there in the dark times waving his scarf on those one-off wins I'd at least have a little respect for him.
The development means jobs for tradies, and employment thereafter for others. Also to make a better economy for the area. I would have thought that both of our f**kknuckle parties would have embraced it, but no, Morrison and Speakman, both Liberals I think, rejected it.
f**k em all, we're still here, I just hate him being in the podium when it suits, f**king pissant.

Does anyone know when Scomo became a Sharks supporter? Was it before that glorious day in 2016?.....according to folklore he shat himself on the evening of the Super League grand final. Was he a fan back then?

Fair enough mate, I get the argument, no dramas. I would have loved unequivocal support at the time too, but the development thing was in, what, 2011, only a year or 2 into him coming into area and he has said he has grown to love the club...doesn’t claim to be a lifelong supporter.

But other than saying he didn’t like the scope of it, the dev still got over the line without backroom political interference.

I get it people think the support even now is cynical. I tend to think he has genuinely grown to support the club. It’s only really been the last 5-6 years I even recall him going to any games, he goes to a bunch now. But regardless, the board and sponsors have got to love cossying up at games. Good PR that’s working for both.

And for the record, the fakest supporter in history was Costello. If he could name a single player I’d be astonished.

Fair nuff. It’s a blessed relief to not go through constant broke / scandal crap.

This has been the most positive offseason I can remember in a long time.

Just need to get back to shark park, build the damn club and get those membership numbers up as a result.
I get worried when things look rosy...

I'm as peace, love and mung beaning lefty as you can get, but too clever by far to be a loony. I'm not in politics but have good mates (across the aisle) who are. Word is Morrison's one true love is Morrison. No surprise there.

No, he didn't grow up hating Bozo, Rocket or Albert. And his first dog wasn't called Panda. TBH he's a bit of a wank. And I can't abide these god-bothering, 'prosperity' types. But homeboy is PM. And I have no doubt that he is committed to seeing good on his public role as Sharks #1 ticket holder. hell, he's probably even developed some genuine support for the Black, White and Blue along the way. that's not so difficult to imagine, is it?

As they like to say, the Sharks are a broad church. Plenty of room for all types/persuasions. It's a good thing for the Sharks to have the PM as our official and openly supportive #1TH. End of story. f**k PM Morrison, whatever, but Up Up Cronulla.

He was on Fox league, or whatever it's called, kicking field goals and saying his favourite all time player was Sludge.
My hero beyond heroes across all sports was Sludge.
Morrison is a merkin.
Costello was a patsy because he was a Vico and had to have a team in the real world.
Morrison did claim to be a life long supporter on that Fox show.. but that merkin has no claim to anything in my world.
And yes I am more evil than what I propose myself to be.

Mate be thankful he gives our club publicity.He was a union man in the past ,so the f*ck was I at school.Couldn't watch 5 minutes of union now.You got me started.
Lib leaders are hardly on their Pat Malone.
Partially off subject ,yet relevant ,I remember at my daughter's netball match had a friendly banter with an AFL(ex Vic) loving father at Bellingarra Courts, and he stated he was a Steve Rogers fan, now he follows the Sydney Ducks.People change allegiances.

We had Labor leaders like Whitlam the member for Werriwa & Pm who wouldn't have a clue what rugby league was.Bob Motor Carr who attended once a SOO and was reading some classical book.Even Albo the staunch Rabbitoh,caught out with an AFL players shirt playing some seniors game.And Shifty Shorten how many Storm games has he been to.Keneally she been to games?Gillard who provided Obama with a AFL Sherrin football and taught him how to handball.

And the Chief Minister of the ACT Barr (Labor) who pushes money regularly the AFL way, whilst the Raiders stadium needs a lot of work.
And the fact that league hating gimp, FitzSimons hates rl with a passion,yet is a great fan of the above leaders, makes me double down.
Got that off my chest,thus I must be evil .

The question is did he Morrison ask to be No 1 ticketholder, or did the club use him?

for someone who apparently only wants something out of it for himself he sure as shit wears cronulla gear almost any chance he gets whenever he isn’t wearing a suit.. even then he has a cronulla tie on almost every time you see him. got to be some pretty good publicity for sponsors and the club.

Jenny makes him do that. (Except when Feef has initials scrawled on his wrist bandage)

And at least Albo was one of many who took to the streets when Souffs were thrown out.

I bet Smirky McGutless wouldn't of given two shits if we didn't get the development through and finally had to fold.
