This is exactly right. Initially I thought the NRL would kill us off for sure. This would have happened under the previous administration. However, the NRL has been very supportive. I do think they are hedging their bets and may abandon us if the ASADA outcome is a total disaster. You can hardly blame them for that. All in all though, I suspect the ASADA damage will be contained and we are faced with several years of recovery.

You referring to Gallop etc? If so he was always adamant we weren't going anywhere, stuck by us in the past.

White ants and wrist slitters?? nice

pft nice speach...ironsheep

1. We bring Dank in and contrary to the club Doctor's advice injected players with ALLEGED banned substances.
2. Knee -jerk reaction to direct a blood thirsty media to our door steps and become the NRL's sacrificial lamb.
3. We follow that up with another knee-jerk reaction in booting out the board responsible for obtaining the DA and possibly saving the club.
4. We extend a banned coach at least partly responsible for the above **** storm to a further 3 years.
5. We recruit probably the WORST (and that's saying something) group of players in a single season (prior, holdsworth, ayshford) and they proceed to play pretty much how anyone with any knowledge of thos eplayers expected them to.
6. Only club without major jersey sponsor. still.
7. We install a guy who doesn't give a **** as our head coach, who then proceeds to not give a ****.
8. Despite the season being over we refuse, until recently, to blood promising juniors.

(yes 5 and 6 may be due to ASADA, but the coach/club can't use something as an excuse when they are responsible for that very same thing, some seem to equate the negative effects of ASADA with an act of god, it's not "well our attendance is down, but the earthquake demolishing half the stadium has a bit to do with it" no the club did this to itself).

Blind faith is admirable, stupid, but admirable. The she'll be right attitude has got a bit to do with not having won anything EVER, I recon. I'll never stop supporting this club but *** If I will support stupidity or inept management. Both trademarks of this club of recent. The sky isn't falling, the club will get past this, but it's a bit rich to call anyone who doesn't goose step to your tune a white ant or wrist slitter.

How'd the blind faith work for that Rozelle Village mob?


IronShark is a half glass full kind of guy, where you're a glass half empty kind of guy. Simple as that.

Fans are going to react differently, for instance you're sledging the club for re-signing the coach when he was somewhat responsible for all the ASADA crap, I look at it as the Sharks re-signing a sucessful coach whom made a mistake and has paid his price.

Also, I find it ironic that a lot of people critise the fans for voting out Irvine when he made one mistake despite all his success, yet then turn around and critise the club for keeping on Flanno despite all his success, for making one mistake. Flanno and Irvine were both sucessful at their jobs, both were looking at a bright future professionally and both ****ed up with the ASADA scandle.

Biggest problem with this thread is how we are turning on each other, We may all think and react in differently but it is for the same reason the love of our football club. I think if we could all stand together and solid it would be a much better image (to whoever may be watching media? club? players? other clubs? NRL? ASADA?).

I would like to ask you all the famous quote used over and over attributed to AESOP

UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL

You could've at least chosen a song we could take a bit more seriously. Like, "Never Gonna Give You Up" or "Rock Lobster".
