Sharks in cap trouble

[Loobs]

Don't you love the media narratives...

Manly gets Bob Fulton the architect of cap cheating.
Cronulla gets poor old father Flanno.... (Who's led the drug cheating, cap cheating, rule breaking)

Yes but please remember that for 2016 the Sharks were totally and unquestionably legit.

If Flanagan has in fact breached the terms of his suspension from the game as suggested and made a mockery of the penalty imposed by the NRL then they have to suspend him for at least another year. IMO it should be another 2 years. Where are the media executioners now? Hypocritical word smiths!

The Sharkies will be hurting a lot more if they end up with Barrett on their books. Rock Farken bottom.

Well they will have to take his salary off our books too before he will be allowed to coach so win win

The tolerance and kindness the media and the NRL are showing the Sharks compared to the lynch mob mentality we got is sickening. This is a team that have broken so many rules over the last five years. There are too many times where people have bailed them out over the years like Manly did in 1983 and they are a protected species by the likes of Rothfool. Lets see how fair dinkum Greenturd is next week. Flanagan needs to be put out of the game if he breached the conditions of the peptide suspension!

Alternatively, they could see if Ty Hardin is still available to star in a follow-up to Riptide, called Peptide.

Plenty of scenic filmic locales around Port Hacking and George’s River. Brendan Cowell is a Sharks’ man, he could play Flanno.

‘He’s almost like a father to them’: Mick Ennis reveals Sharks pain over Shane Flanagan saga
Despite the tough exterior of club leaders, premiership-winning Sharks hooker Mick Ennis has revealed the extent to which Cronulla is hurting.

In financial turmoil without jersey sponsors, undergoing an historic salary cap investigation and now facing the possibility of losing their head coach to an NRL suspension — the Sharks are in the midst of one of the toughest periods in club history.

But it’s not the worst the club has faced recently.

Every Test, ODI & T20I live, ad-break free during play and in 4K. Only on Foxtel. SIGN UP NOW!

Speaking on Fox Sports News, Ennis said while the players and staff are trained to put on a brave face publicly, they can’t help but be upset over headlines and emotional distractions.

“The players are so well-educated and it’s been drummed into them on how to handle the media in these situations in terms of trying to keep them at arms length, not giving any insight that people are struggling and that everyone’s moving forward.

“They’ll be hurting.

Some of these players down there, Paul Gallen and Wade Graham, Shane Flanagan is almost like a father to them.

“They’ve spent so much time with him as their coach. And through that time, not only as a player, but what Shane has done for them off the field.

“From going as young men to fathers and growing up through that transition, they’ve won premierships together.

“No doubt those guys will certainly be hurting.

“I think while they’ve got the barriers up and they’re a tough and resilient club, deep down I’d be naive to think they’re not hurting.

“The sooner this is resolved the better for everyone. Not only for the Cronulla Sharks but for the game in general.”


Flanagan is reportedly facing deregistration for breaching the terms of his 12-month suspension in 2014 over the club’s supplements scandal.

During the salary cap probe, which was enacted when club CEO Barry Russell self-reported suspicious payments to the NRL earlier this year, the integrity unit allegedly uncovered evidence Flanagan was in contact with Cronulla during his suspension.

It’s believed the ARL Commission will meet on Tuesday to decide his fate.

What a load of bull this article is
Such a joke of article

He’s almost like a father to at least one of the players

There's talk, albeit murmurs, of them heading West. A long way West.

Getting louder:

And next week he will pick some other team.

His previous piece re: Manly relocating/folding was based on the flimsiest logic. If you can call it logic.

Next time it might be the Tipies’ turn, then Parra, then the Dragons and on it goes.

Shane Flanagan’s proud coaching career hangs on the decision of just one man — NRL chief executive Todd Greenberg.

The NRL integrity unit has investigated the Cronulla coach and the ARL Commission will approve any punishment.

But the length and severity of any possible suspension for Flanagan will be made solely by Greenberg.

Looks like the tigers could be in trouble also.

It will be like getting hit with a piece of wet lettuce

I have heard that flanagan will be sacked and the punishment for Cronulla will be having to sign Barrett on a life time coaching deal.

Surely Cronulla will appeal that decision as it's egregious and the punishment far out weighs the wrongdoing.

Plus there could be another riot.

It might be used to incentivise them to relocate.

Under-fire Sharks coach Shane Flanagan will face the full force of the ARLC tomorrow and will reportedly cop an indefinite ban from the NRL over his latest controversy.

The premiership-winning coach made headlines this month after allegations of him communicating with club officials during his 2014 ban, which had expressly forbidden contact with Sharks staff, surfaced.

“According to sources, the NRL believes it had no choice but to indefinitely deregister Flanagan, rather than just impose another 12-month ban, because he blatantly ignored the previous suspension,” the Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday night.
