When is a merger not a merger?

[Newtown Ear]

Jeffles seems to speak with authority on the Joint Venture with Cronulla. If this is not a merger, why then did Barry Vinning, our esteemed Chairman call it a merger on the Footy Show yesterday.

Jeffles it seems as you snoop around George St, youre not getting the info right.

Barry Vinning is the top man and he said its a merger.
Look out for the future Cronulla Jets or is it The Newtown Sharks next year?!

i just hope that like Illawarra we end up with more than the socks!

Mate it is not a merger. The press release said that our legal entities will remain separate and no new entitiy is formed. Merger is just a poor use of language in that interview.
