Sully

[Eskimo Sharkie]

I agree with you MS, it's basically a no-brainer and it is hard to see him remaining in the NRL. As much as I'd like to see him stay in the Shire, it is pretty certain he'll be off to Warrington.

 

[chili pepper]

If he stays and some sort of association with Channel 9 is worked out as suggested in RLW it will be a much better long-term outcome for him. Gives him a possible career after footy.

I f he leaves he may miss his chance at such an opportunity.

 

[Special K]

He won't go...

From Foxsports.com.au:

"Cronulla utility Michael Sullivan, who went public with his gambling addiction at the weekend, has two days to decide whether to accept an offer from English Super League club Warrington."

(http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,15697808-23214,00.html)

I wonder who gave him that deadline. I hope he goes...;-)

 

[Wire_Godfather]

Local newspaper today denies that we have even made an offer for him. So it was all speculation.

Probably the Sharks, they won't want this lingering on forever. They have a season to get on with.

 

[Wire_Godfather]

Cronulla's Michael Sullivan is "90 per cent certain" of heading to England next season to join Warrington.

His manager Greg Willett said Sullivan wanted to finalise "a few details" before signing.

But Willett said Sullivan, who last week spoke candidly about beating a gambling addiction, was not in as much trouble as reported by some media.

"He does not owe millions and he is not in debt to his ears, that is all fixed up and sorted," he said.

"This deal just gets him back on track. It will be enough to buy a house. And his money will go towards property investments."

It's so distressing that Sully will probably have to end up playing in a very inferior competition because of his addiction.

This is heart breaking...

C'mon Micheal show some compasion !!!!!

We have a young man here at his wits end. ( pardon the pun)

Sully is expected to sign for Warrington today.
His manager wanted it known that he doesn't have gambling debts and is going to England purely for investment reasons.
I always thought investing was a gamble.
Anyway good luck to Sulli.
Maybe he'll return one day.

Sorry pretty much what the Godfather's article has stated.

 

[Sam]

Just come home from work and I feel sick in the stomach reading this post.Hope he comes back soon.

The inference in the paper yesterday was this problems are far worse than what his manager has led on.

Still, Sully has been up front and honest from the word go on all of this.

 

[Mr Sharkie]

Typical just when someones star starts to rise they leave the Sharks. I know Sully has his own future to think of but I can't help feel a bit betrayed since the club stuck by him and helped with his debts but he doesn't plan on sticking by the club

We'll miss you Sully and hope your troubles are finally over.

Which he is actually in no way obliged to do, just quietly. He's doing well IMO.

Dear Dear how arrogant.

 

[Booyah]

Arrogant? Maybe.

Truthful? Absolutely.

If a bloke like Andy Farrell can stand out over in England amongst all the 'stars' over there and win the Games best player award, then League in England is in serious trouble.

Andy Farrell won that because the establishment wanted him to win that and for the work he put in last year he probably deserved it. I mean look at Wigan now. Not doing so well.

I am not saying that our league is of the same standard. I am just pointing out that not all the teams are a million miles away. It is merely blinkered arrogance that draws you to that conclusion. Watch a few of the games you may be suprised.

 

[Frenzy.]

I don't the think the standard is that much lower at all to be honest. I watch whatever games FOX gives us every week. Usually 2. The higher placed teams would be competitive in the NRL in my opinion.

It's not an ability thing. It's an intensity thing. They play as intense as they have to. The same as we do here. The thing is it's a tad lower in the SL.

Exactly!

 

[The Popper]

Let's face it. All excuses aside. They win the Club Challenge more than we do.
Bugger it. Looks like Sully's going. Hard gap to fill. Well, WG. I hope you enjoy watching Sully carve up Warrington's opposition as much as we have watching him carve up our opposition. Get your forwards to give him some go forward and protection and I reckon you're on a sure winner. As for the comparisons with Jason Kent.....no comparison. Kent is an honest, solid player, Sully can be sensational.
