Actually I would like to merge with Illawarra . I would like to see the red V incorporated into the Blue Black and White. I covet the Illawarra juniors , mixed with ours would be a very potent base for the future . We would get incentives from the NRL at the right time to keep us going while we get the development finished . Once that is out of the way we would be a powerfull team based in southern Sydney and the south coast. Playing out of an upgraded Shark Stadium. Very attractive to big sponsers like LG and Toyota. North of the bridge (our bridge) is all soccer anyway so we would let St George Leagues and OKi Stadium do what they want. Most St George supporters would be ok with the merge as they know they are a shrinking club with limited options . The Illawarra supporters we would make welcome with heaps of special offers regarding seats and parking . We have a lot in comon with Illawarra as we both know what its been like to be screwed by St George so I see Illawarra as a good fit for the Sharks .Im not shure what to do with Win stadium tho.

Come on Saints , its not a bad idea. Think what you will get from it! Great beaches , Trent, no Mediterranean Descendants at games,Lance , the best chear squad ( come on you know it) great parking. And you guys can rid yourself of the dead wood, Brownie, Doustie, Ryleie, Gazie ( oh thats right he going to France. Look for the up side Saints!

A merger between Cronulla and Illawarra makes a lot of sense and in fact The Scum where very interested in this option in the late 90s but off course didn't have the cash to prop up the Stanley's.

Neither club has won anything or has a history to maintain so it would be very easy. At the moment our joint venture is like Kieran Perkin's marriage, one partner is so accomplished and legendary, the while the others finest moment was a stint on the biggest loser (a losing Tooheys Cup Final). You just know this causes a lot under the surface angst and tension that simply wouldn't exist between two equally sh*t people, or two sh*t clubs.

Cronulla did offer Illawarra a merger before the dragons, Illawarra knocked them back preferring the dragons plus they wanted to keep their colours and not add any more

thats heaps smart champ. Shows the mentality of the people south of the bridge. Its true what they say ALL OVER THE WORLD. Your all racist. Oh, and also shows your true colours.

Feel free to come say hi to all us Mediterranean Descendants on saturday night. BUt make sure its after we rip your fence down. :crazy:

Ok it is very white over here but think of the old days of St George , what a mighty team ( mostly white players) now by merging with Sharks you could get some of that glory back . I see it as win / win . We can go on and under Ricky ( Bennett is more interested in the Kiwis anyway) and smash Manly and the Storm together . I know you guys want to get even with Storm . And you get back with Lance and Trent. Time to start a new. We could even start a committee eh?

Hey dragons fans... if clubs are culled in the future, what would you do if the NRL forced us to merge with Cronulla because geographically we are very close?


IMO if the game does get that bad the Sharkies should simply just be kicked out and the Illawarra area expanded so we take over their small junior base.

To be fair though, their juniors are pretty sh*thouse.

Wittyshark. Thats what you shall be known as from this day forward.

I'm with you all the way. You're Witty diatribes are too intimidating to stand against.

FMD - Quigs??? Frenzy??? Bastard Squad??? .......Blue Mazda??? ANYONE???

Help this guy. If his pick up lines are as bad as his attempts at stirring sh*t he's never going to get a sniff.
