$800k wouldn't be enough to bankrupt an NRL Club these days.

Shit, upon Gals retirement the Sharks will save $500k on his tampon bill alone.

That’s not where their problems are, $6million in loans, two years of big losses and potentially another big gap from lack of sponsors next year are the big issues. If the $8mill coming this week is correct that will sort them for another year at least. The problem is there cash windfalls are going to cover debt at the moment. Sacking ten staff will reduce costs next year but whose doing the work they were doing?

Not going to happen and I dont want our success to be at the expense of other fans, besides I want Cronulla there so I can hate on them when pirates play them and I can go for a drink with carch and tai at their fancy new leagues club when pirates play in the shire lol


Trouble is PR you'd have to pay for a round of drinks.And we know you have extremely long pockets and spiders in your wallet.
And there will be a sign strategically placed out the front ,whining not permitted.
We only accept happy chappies.

Hey I’m from Yorkshire, we’re notoriously tight and miserable! It’s culturally insulting to ban me lol. Drinks are on you.

People talk about expanding and folding clubs like the NRL actually has the ability to pull off such a move successfully.

They have a hard time running clubs they’re involved with. I’d not trust them with safety scissors.

There is a certain irony at the nrl getting shtty with clubs running at losses when both the titans and knights ran at significant losses when the nrl owned them!

Pfft.

They punted Souths only to let them back and gift them a premiership.

The NRL truest success has been that they are consistently inconsistent.

Then as a Cronulla resident for yonks, I'd have to say politely.if you are not prepared to dip into your pockets, you will be marched to Sydney airport (a stones throw away), and issued with a one way ticket to Manchester.
That way, in transit , you can realise the error of your ways.
IOW ,consider yourself culturally insulted:Happy Christmas

What times happy hour at the club? Only time you’ll find a Yorkshireman happy to buy a round lol

There's something about the Sharks that I cant quite put my finger on. They took a while to find their feet, they have been embroiled in controversy, they grabbed some well deserved glory and have now fallen out of favour............

I've got it, they are the Karl Stefanovic of the NRL.
The fellas are ready, in all serious, do they need a pep talk, our squad knows what to do, coach has already done his job. Watch it occur.

I wonder, if this does end up being the end of the sharks... is Flanagan a hero for delivering the one and only premiership, or is he the most hated man in club history for presiding over and contributing heavily to their ultimate demise

Is a premiership for a long suffering fan base worth losing the club?
Probably not.

It would be quite ironic

like Harold Holt coming home from his swim just to die of a heart attack in the lounge room

Just to clarify, as it is too time consuming to keep up with everything that goes on at Cronulla, is their Premiership in any doubt re a problem with cap compliance????
