Bye Bye Sharks

[Dave Eagle]

It's all over

 

[Dan]

???

 

[Clint]

^ what he said.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Reading something about Bruno Cullen being interviewed and something dodgy to do with money involving Gallen and Flannagan

All a bit vague though

 

[niccipops]

Dave, it's Pauline Hanson. Please explain?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Watch the 7.30 report on ABC guys, could be massive

Secret cash payments to Gallen and Flannagan running a separate bank account against club orders for supplements

 

[Dan]

Why would you pay extra for Gallen?

 

[bones]

Lol..

 

[Dave Eagle]

Players being paid outside the cap.. The club covering up drugs given to players... ect..

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Wonder if the NRL will strip them of their premierships

 

[Brissie Kid]

Not much new. Looking for diversion from Labor's freefall or AFL's Essendon saga?

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Anybody watching ?

Sensationalised headlines or substance to it ?

 

[Dave Eagle]

Not as big as I was told...

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

On another forum I read them saying that Gallen + others have been paid in cash unreported for a few years, they are in huge strife if that's true

 

[Brissie Kid]

Huge risk Sharks may lose their premiership trophies here.

Just watched part of it. Cullen did a job on the Sharks. What about the NRLs ability to oversee the cap and other payments? Without whistle-blowers both the Storm and now the Shark's misdemeanours would never have been exposed. There has to be an investigation of the NRL's auditing department, and the immediate outsourcing to one of the big four for auditing of all clubs. The cosy arrangements with clubs that Shubert has overseen have to stop. Shubert has to be sacked immediately.

Smith and Greenberg & co are about to earn their money, and it won't be easy.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

So what is the consensus ?

People on a sharks forum seem to think it is rehashed stuff that has already been dealt with and nothing new was revealed

For me though the payments seem to indicate a bit of trouble. Do have to wonder what Cullen's agenda is if he was stitching them up, does he have any role in new expansion teams trying to get in ?

 

[niccipops]

So did the sharks bring in an outsider for an interim position, then bring back sacked staff, shafting him, now he's playing whistle blower shafting them?

Very tangled in those shark nets.

 

[manlyfan76]

Ok Im really worried for Phill Rothfelch now, can someone please go down to The Wall and check on him? He will be behind his glory hole oblivious to this news.

A QLD team perhaps.
