Cronulla Sharks aid Fiji’s NRL dream with NSWRL inclusion

[Milkshark]

I don't see this as doing the NRL a favour. Do this properly and we could develop a very nice pathway for future talent.

Bringing talented Fijians into the comp for every club to take away from us.

We are essentially funding more juniors for the rest of the comp.

The roosters will love us.

To a degree but we also get a bit of a first crack and a better opportunity to know more about the players than just the football side ie might know who could be a bit more trouble than they are worth so happy not to get in a bidding war

Great news.

But why are we doing the NRL favours?

Starting the womens comp?



Now this.

The sharks couldnt afford or meet the guidelines for a women’s nrl team.
Don’t have seperate women’s dressing rooms or showers to accomodate them.

Pretty sure all that is BS except for the womens dressing rooms.

**** spending money on that for womens league.

No it’s not BS.

I don't se the harm in sharing dressing rooms and showers!

As Slide would say, you shower with the forwards, I'll shower with the backs.

We are a forward thinking club with gender neutral dressing rooms & showers, not like these other sexist teams

What uou've written though is why we couldn't host a final this year, I don't recall it being mentione when we got skipped for a womens team though?

That's because it wasn't

Just don’t drop the soap.

At the fan forum our CEO mentioned this

We cant host a final as the women play first and we don’t have seperate change rooms

It’s one of the reasons we didn’t get a team

That's a pretty easy issue to overcome.

Especially when the women play like 4 games a year, and not at suburban grounds.

The fellas should just use a hose out in the paddock, like the old days.

Tell us how it’s a easy issue to overcome.

You can get demountable facilities.

And they don’t play at Shark Park anyway

But they would play at shark park if we could host a final

But we can’t as we don’t have adequate facilities

But firstly they’d need our men’s team to earn a home final in any given year. Then they’d only play one game there anyway... sounds like a cop out to me.

They could have erected a glass redoubtable on the side line for the woman .
Would have really engaged the crowd .
What blue blooded male would have balked at witnessing a raw Ruan Sims post match
