It hasnt dampened my sharkies spirit but has dampened my NRL spirit. I think i watched about 4 games this year that didnt involve Cronulla. Just wasn't interested.
This is such a joke. Pretty sick of the NRL at the moment. The clubs are all a farce and the ARLC are a running joke. After watching Liverpool play in Melbourne you can just see the gulf in class with match day experience, crisis management and marketing. Even the A league has an idea.

I dont understand these idiots against the old board.
Get it in your head! It is fact that without the old board there would be no Cronulla Sharks. The club was within 8 hours of folding!! Get it!!
The new board has done nothing and the fools that voted for them got swept up in the media...
He has done a decent job with the T20 but not sure his credentials are worthy enough. I guess he would have the passion etc but the heat of being a CEO of one of the most scrutinised clubs in a poorly run game is a lot different to the open cheque book style in T20 cricket.
Mark my words the Wanderers will take over the West.... they already have. 45,000 seat stadium sold out in 26 minutes, There are no jerseys left in Sydney to buy. Just saying the NRL should be worried. people on here can get all macho about league etc but its ignorant to just ignore it. oh and...
Slightly off topic but the A League have been pretty clever to schedule the Grand final this weekend. During the Rep weekend. Heaps of media coverage. League better watch its back especially in the West. The wanderers are building a decent following.
I have no idea why the NRL don't have names on the back of jerseys. even to the extent that players should have their own numbers. There is a reason that every internationally successful league does this. It brings in a huge amount of revenue, especially when new signings occur.
Few examples...
I was not happy about this new stand being named the Monty Porter stand. It should have been the Paul Gallen Stand in about 10 years time. Monty Porter has a medal. Gallen has played hundreds of games for us, could have left for more money, Captain of NSW and has played for Australia.... not to...
Yeah the play the ball is too quick. But i think the refs have actually made better split second decisions that have been proven correct on replay.
I agree about the restart of the tackle count. best idea i have heard in a while.
