Why the shark badge on a roosters jersey?
Sharks- development is going to keep the wolves from the door and now the St George debt is more manageable unlikely to face the same pressures. Not going to be financial powerhouses anytime soon but they seem to have had a lifebouy thrown to them to keep them afloat
Panthers- Closely tied to the fortunes of the Leagues empire and a couple of years ago it looked like it was about to crash down big style. Packers bail out seems to have saved them for the time being but they now owe the debt to him and have had to sell some valuable profit making assets. Panthers NRL club are not strong enough to stand alone without the financial backing of the leagues group.
Manly- Despite being great on the field for the past few years they barely manage to break even. Brookvale is a hovel that isn't helping and they are reliant on backers staying sweet.
Roosters - Fiancially seem to be ok so unless something out of the blue comes to light they seem ok
(runs for cover)
Sharks pulled out of deals early in Adelaide and Taupo (NZ), I believe it was year one of three both times. I'm not sure of the reason but ill assume its financial. Sharks don't seem to be willing to grow the game beyond the Shire while many other clubs this year will take one home game on the road
I genuinely do not unerstand why Clubs do not consider creating 'secondary' homes. The reality is by the Sharks taking say 3 low drawing games to Adelaide (with some NRL) support they could garner wider casual supporter base and broader corporate support.
I also think the Storm should do so with Tasmania and possibly places such as Geelong, Albury and Ballarat. If every team did some of this we would quickly cover Australasia. Not just NRL Premiership games but annual trials. Both Bulldogs and Rabbitohs do this with success. It reinforces and expands their supporter bases, in tandem with Membership drives creates broader financial stability.
Fair enough too.
I was think perhaps you could even just have the home sky blue body and the away dark blue body...

Might be too rooster-ish. If they went with light home/dark away, the dark jersey would be more Sharks-inspired.
I hate this thread, i hate its agenda and most importantly i hate the 'rugby league' fans in this thread.
