Gday Sharkies,

Just a curiosity thread more than anything else :oops:

Noticed whilst browsing some threads here, theres a deep hatred for the Dragons, is there a reason for this? or is just basically the geographics of it ? Im sure most Parra fans dont hate Penrith this much :p .

Do tell .... ;-)


btw, should be a good game come Saturday

jealous of what? The great merger? The fact you get to pick a new home ground every few weeks?

We mainly just hate 'em because they're an arrogant pack of Wankers who constantly bleat about past achivements and milestones.

One club is made up from the lower class of humans & the other is the Sharks.
Could be worse for the Dragons, they could be the Bulldogs.

The Fact that we are winning for starters
The Fact that we have won a grandfinal
The Fact that we have been in a Grandfinal more recently than them
The Fact that we have one of the largest fan bases in the NRL
The Fact that our jersey is the most recognised and best sellers in the NRL
The Face that the Sharks have trouble securing major sponsors compared to the Dragons stability
The Fact that we have not and still arent and never will be staving off bankrupt
The Fact that no matter what they like to think the Dragons are a more respected, more successful and just plain better team than the Sharks are and ever will be
The Fact that the Sharks have never won* a grand final
The Fact that they have Premiership winning coaches and still cant come as close to a premiership as the Dragons
The Fact the their club is run by their Halfback
The Fact that they cant get a traditional jersey to sell well
The Fact that they need to change their Stadium name every year or so
The Fact that they need to constantly change their logo
The Fact that their whole team is aging and they have no future
The Fact that they will have to relocate about 900km North
The Fact that they sold out to Stupid League and We didnt
The Fact that they need to be financially rescued constantly
The Fact that 1967 was a long time before 1979
The Fact that we dumped them in a proposed merge
The Fact that no-one wants to merge with them
The Fact that their biggest loss is greater than our biggest loss
etc etc etc

*Dreams not being included of course

Saints don't exist.
It's Stgeorge Illawarra. A merged entity now.
I feel sorry for the Steelers portion of the merger.
It think it would be like your sister marrying some guy who lives in van park. Part of the family now.

I would have thought b*tch slapping your "star player" (and captain) on the sideline in front of everyone was pretty low.

Some people think their sh*t doesnt stink! :lol:

Well lets look at it Reefy:

1 - True
2 - True
3 - True
4 - True
5 - True
6 - The Dragons have had 4 major sponsors - Penfolds, Newmans, Integral and Now St George Bank...How many have the Sharks had?
7 - True although we cannot see into the future, but otherwise true
8- Whether you like it or not, Its true
9 - Hilariously True
10 - Border Line, but considering we dont have Premiership winning coaches, it helps my point
11 - Well that was true up until this season - still funny that it was true though
12 - True, if they did why would they have to change
13 - True
14 - True
15 - More close to true than False
16 - Depends on who you ask, time will tell
17 - Sadly True
18 - True
19 - if my Maths serves me correctly...thats true as well
20 - True
21 - Well no one sane would
22 - True look it up, it is also more recent.

I always thought the Dragons were low but it wasnt until I got involved here on the internet that I realised how much the ex-St George fans despise Cronulla. It's because we attracted corporate sponsorship from News Ltd and stood alone. Quite simply, they're jealous. And we've got to fire back with both barrels.

I wouldnt say I hate them, I just think they're pathetic.

As for their supposed "arrogance", if they want to think they're some global sporting dynasty like the NY Yankees or Manchester Utd, let them go right ahead. It's not arrogance, it's delusion. They really have no idea.

At least Riddell takes out people just as bad as him...as in Braith Anasta

The Truth can be boring Dragon Slayer....dont read it, you live with it anyway so you dont need to be reminded. But its there for arguments sake.

:lol: Get your hand off it ShireNark

Yes Im sure everyone would stand alone if they knew how successful the Sharks have been standing alone :lol:

At least we merged with a club that we have tradition and connections with.
