I did some research and Cronulla have close to the smallest population of any team in the NRL and that worries me a little.
Yes but the Shire is fast becoming populated and per head we have a great junior base. Then again population numbers dont mean sh*t eg:Roosters ^
Newcastle<
Merger wont happen, it cant. The Souths merger would be like trying to pull a tooth, it wont happen soon. I also wouldnt mind the South Sydney Sharks but the green could be mixed with the blue to form a nice colour.

Sydney is the best market in Australia - no way you would want to take a club out of Sydney. That is just asking for Union and AFL to buy into Sydney. No Sydney team is moving to the CC unless it is a merger break up like the Wests Tigers.

No f*cking way.

I would rather have a swim in a vat of Dettol after having my entire body vigourously rubbed with a cheese grater, than have any association at all with that worthless pack of scumbags

No way will we merge with the stains and besides that we already have a merged partner....the mighty newtown jets.

Now what would we call ourselves?

What colour the new jersey?........thats easy we keep the same blue white and black.

The White from Illawarra and the Stains :p

I wouldn't want to get in with that lot anyway. The Cronulla club is far more viable than Kogarah ever will be, hence their move to Illawarra.

If some crackpots took control of both clubs and did it though, I definitely wouldn't be a supporter.

Whoever even proposed a merger in this thread should be shot. Seriously. Take a look in the mirror, you're a disgrace.

I didn't suggest it, I don't want it to happen, but sometimes these decision are taken out of our hands.I just wondered what the reaction by both clubs supporters would be, reading some of the dribble coming out of St-George supporters mouths, I can see why the only good people left on this earth(Sharks Supporters) could never accept it.
If it has to happen merge with Illawarra and punt St-George all together.Whenever I see another unit block go up in Sutho or Miranda, I think although I don't like it, whoever moves in has the oppurtinuty to support the best club in the NRL

I would COMPLETELY support a possible merger.. On the following conditions..

1. The team would be called the Cronulla Sharks.
2. ALL games played out of Toyota Park.
3. We take over their Leagues Club.
4. The colours of the uniform must be Black, White and Blue. On second thoughts, if the DragQueens demanded that we have a red stripe, I would probably consent to that and have the red stripe.......
ON THE PLAYERS UNDIES.

If these 4 simple conditions are not met, then they can GO TO HELL.

where the fugg did this senseless thread come from?
oh hang on, of course.

The Sharks own all of their land. When the development proposal was first put forward years ago, little had changed in real estate values in a long while.

The land is now immensely valuable.
We are assett rich & cash satisfactory.

Name another club except for the panthers in that position.

If you understood that, then these polls would not be put forward.

I would not support any merger or relocation.

I'd give up on rugby league if that happened.

This has got to be one of the worst suggestions in this forum's history!

I'd support whoever represented our district (always have). Doesn't matter what they are called, what colours they play in or what. As long as they represent where I live they've got me. And if any merger strengthens our team enough for us to win that elusive premiership then I'm all for it.

I watched a mate who supported Balmain give up on the tigers when they merged and become a knights supporter instead.......I thought it was weak......I love the sharks and wherever their fate takes them, I would support them........I would HATE them not to be Cronulla any longer...BUT they are my team whatever form they take.

In the NFL I was a Houston Oilers fan for years and followed them to Tennessee...... mind you it was an improvement......I cant see any improvement to my sharks!! apart from the obvious elusive premiership that is......BUT I want that as a Cronulla Sharks team!!!!!!
