I think your right, just looking at some twitters and Josh Massoud stated the drug story going quiet at Sharks, might research deeper into their salary cap cheating. The media is not going to leave us alone!

ouch, that artical cuts deep, very very deep,
its somthing we have all known and spoken about but seeing it al written like that hurts.
That story, although mostly true, is a waste of time, what is the point of that artical other than to stick the boot in while we are down, she is a poor excuse for a person.
She will be eating her words when we win our first premiership this year.

I sometimes wonder if these journos who like to lay the boot in at every opportunity actually go to games and see and feel the passion of the home supporters...have a wander around the club before the game, seeing all the jerseys, scarves, hats, have a couple of schooners and a plate of wedges (with dianne sauce)...soak up the atmosphere then venture out to the hill, GA, or stand and see what it's really like when the teams run out and the ref blows the whistle. Not just our club, but any that's under the microscope at any given time...or is it easier to stay in a safe, cosy office and just stir up some **** to make a fancy headline?

A repost from http://sharksobsessed13.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/we-have-all-read-it.html, dated March 19
We have all read it. Every ill informed journalist in the country has an opinion on our team.
We should re-locate, we should fold and make room for a new team, we should do this, we should do that. Blah Blah Blah.
Everyone has had their say on our position. But have any of them really stopped, sat down and thought about what they write, before writing it?
Have any of them picked up a phone and made any form of enquiry?
The worst piece of rubbish I have read was from Rebecca Wilson.
It was pure mess, and dribble printed on paper. I don't think it was ever intended to be published as something she believed, more to enrage Cronulla fans, and rugby league fans in general, to get hits on the website. The more hits, the more your pay rise will be.
It's a dog eat dog world.
I skim read her crap to begin with. Then I decided to read, well, what I could of it.
At first, it was an opinion that we should of taken to the Central Coast when we had the chance. Because our fans could still make it to games, because it's technically a "part of Sydney."
Because our identity would only be shifted 100km up the road.
To me, the Central Coast is unfortunately, just the whipping boy of the NRL, and expansion.
It seems to be, or at least we are told by these "journalist's" that the Central Coast is the team most ready for expansion. It most probably is. But not as the Sharks. Or the Eels. Or the Panthers. But the Bears.
It has one shot, the Bears or nothing.
The next piece of dribble, since we rejected that, the only alternative is WA.
Why? She went on to explain that there would be little to no disruption to the fan base. Really, 6 hours isn't a disruption alco... I mean, Rebecca?
Considering we probably got 100 fans to a game in Sydney on a Monday night, how many do you think would travel to Perth every weekend? For a home game?
It's evident that WA is the ideal place for expansion into the NRL. But again, not as the Sharks.
The Reds or nothing. That is, and always will be the identity of WA.
To my shock horror, I wanted to put the paper down. Could you blame me.
But I continued to read. I then red a formal opinion that we could not survive on 17000 people turning up to home games. And it got me thinking.
But before I elaborate, why wasn't there a pice in the paper about Penriths "10,000" in round 1.
Or 10,000 at Campbelltown?
Didn't think so.
But anyway.
Apparently, we can't survive on 17,000 strong home crowds. So it got me thinking.
To where I heard some facts and statistics before.
The platinum members shoot. Now turns out to be the best $1000 I have spent.
So, I made a quick call to re-hash some facts and figures, before saying goodbye to my dear friend until I need him again.
I will first set the scene for you.
2012 platinum members of the Sharks got a photo shoot with the team.
For what ever reason, the team was running late, so the head of membership at the time, decided a 45 minute Q & A to our members was on the cards.
We could ask anything we wanted, and there were a variety of questions, from food prices, to quality of merch.
But a simple question was asked.
"What does the crowd need to be to brake even?"
A simple answer was given. I remember it clear as day because it seemed a bit odd.
"11,000 people will see us break even, on the proviso that everyone buys a pepsi."
A pepsi at Shark Park is $4.
Strange hey. No need to reach for the calculator. Thats $44,000.
No idea how that figure was calculated, but that's what we were given.
I highly doubt 11000 pepsi's get sold, but there are other things.
A beer is $6.50. A burbon is $9.50. Food combo's are around about the $11 mark.
The average drinker at the footy has about what? 7, 8 beers. The average drinkers that is.
What about merchandise?
Another question was asked.
"How many of them are calculated as members?"
A very good question.
"Your membership is calculated that $20 goes to the club each time the ticket is scanned."*
Not the exact context, but you get the drift. Note, that is for Sharks only. Other clubs would vary.
So, the beers flow, the food is eaten, merchandise lines are always long.
So, why cant a 17,000 strong crowd survive?
Does that sound like something researched?
Myth busted? Seems like it.
And that wasn't even a hard piece of information to obtain.
That was a quick phone call. And not even to a Shark's official, or a board member.
OK, it was an ex employee, but I would imagine that if a qualified person in the media was to call and ask that question to the right person at any club, that the information would gladly be handed over.
How the information would be spun, is anyone's guess. It would probably be used into negativity.
So, after putting Rebecca Wilson's page turner to the curb, I now ask her a question.
Where was her ball breaking article when it was revealed that James Packer bailed out the Panthers. In the tune of nearly $90 Million.
Are you kidding me.
The media used to nail us over $13.5 Million, and the bank was going to close our doors.
Every paper ran the stories. Every fan kicked us when we were down.
But this. This critical story was not released until the Panthers were safe.
Why? Maybe it was Phil Gould. Probably. But don't let the truth get in the way of a good agenda.
Like the Central Coast being the whipping boys of expansion. So to are we of the NRL.
Because we didn't have a CEO, we instead, had an operation where several people took on the daily responsibilities and task's of a CEO. In the end, it saved our club.
Thanks Damo.
So what to make of this? In less than 4 minutes, I squashed the myth that 17,000 people at games wont save us.
So what will save us? Buy a pepsi. Buy a hot dog. Get a new piece of merch every week.
Then, you know that you have helped in not only saving us, but helping us turn a profit.
