Bit of media talk and lots of rumours about that the FFA will look to add a new team based in Southern Sydney from 2016 onward, perhaps at the expense of the Phoenix. We've discussed it at different times before but its something that deserves its own thread. What do people think of the Sharks...

Seems like the NRL media unit have added NYC stats. Not complete (no TAs or LBAs for instance) but better than nothing. https://www.nrl.com/stats/holdencup/playerstatistics/tabid/11566/default.aspx

This was brought up during the telecast. Where was the stretcher/medicab when Nu Brown went down? Do we even own one? Looked like a serious injury and he was obviously in pain. Our trainers looked like they had no idea what to do. It was f***ing embarrassing. This coming from a Club that has...

A nice little segment on some of what they offer with their attacking games. And before people blow up about him not tipping the Sharks on Monday night, he has to tip the Roosters- he's their NYC coach. Worth a look...

NRL: Manly Sea Eeagles coach Des Hasler could be sacked tonight as Canterbury Bulldogs target young star Kieran Foran Dean Ritchie and Paul Kent The Daily Telegraph 9th of November, 2011 THE crisis continues. Des Hasler could be sacked as early as tonight amid news that superstar five-eighth...

For quite a while I have been pondering how the Club can involve its fan base more on an ongoing basis. The idea is that rather than waiting for the Club to reach death's door as we were in 2009, (remember this, this, this and this?) Surely it would be better if we, as fans, adopted a proactive...

Came across this guy on the Dragons website. He's a 192cm centre from the Como Crocs... any good? One that got away? Anyone know anything about him? http://www.dragons.com.au/default.aspx?s=player-profile-display-nyc&id=3117&player=Nathan--Green&team=Dragons-NYC

Hey folks, I wonder if some of the locals could help me out with a few questions I've had for a while about the Cronulla Junior Competition: - (Roughly) how many junior players do we have? - How many Clubs? - What days do they usually train? - What are the fees like? - Is there any kind of...

A few things have got me thinking lately- Tinkler and Bennett’s plans to turn Newcastle in to a ‘superclub’, our cash flow issues, the way we are being portrayed in the media and posts like this one from Ironshark a while ago. In particular, I’ve been wondering where our Club will be in the...

If we ever need some kind of Patron or figurative head for the Believe movement, I think we should approach John Lang. In fact, we could do worse than seek him out for some advice and public support at some stage. He knows this Club. Anyway, just a thought.

It looks like we have another new signing for the NSW Cup. I found this in the 'Injury Update' section of the Sharks website. He's Tupou's brother- you may remember that he was convicted of assaulting a woman a while back. Anyway, Wikipedia says he's a prop, 184cm and 107kgs. Probably a...

This is something that has been mulling over in my mind for a while now, and I'm sure its come up in passing more than once- who actually owns the Sharks? As I understand it, there are two legal entities: - The Cronulla-Sutherland District Rugby League Football Club Ltd., which is a company...

Bit of a surprise to see this guy named in round 1, but I think he's done okay so far from what I've seen (though I didn't catch the game against the Panthers where he played in the centres). He's got good feet though. Also- not a local product I don't think? Bulldogs junior?

I saw a bit of footage on the NSWRL website of this bloke playing hooker- he's a massive unit for a hooker! And seems quite quick too. One to look out for over the next year or two. Plays 5/8th as well I think.

I wonder what his nickname is? Anyway, he's a hard working backrower we picked up on the Halswell Hornets scholarship program who played NZ U18s- I'm surprised he hasn't gotten a run with the NYC boys yet. Turns 20 this year.

I heard this kid had a huge game in the first NYC trial against Manly, but I don't think he's been named since. Like Cameron Rodgers he's another who came down from Farrer Agricultural in Tamworth- a 5/8th with a heap of pace. In fact, here's some footage of him going round for Farrer...

Appears to be our new NYC Coach following Joey Grima's promotion to full-time NRL assistant coach. His Sharks profile: http://www.sharks.com.au/default.aspx?s=coach-profile-display&id=3773&player=james-shepherd&team=Sharks Obviously he's untested at NYC level, but given the Club's Football...

I'm interested to see what everyone's hopes and expectations are for next year. I know we all hope the club wins the comp- all fans do- but what else? It could be anything from club footy, club politics, junior development, playing style, recruitment, senior squad development, administration or...
