Nicely constructed post, Susan, especially the analogy about needles and cash...
but I don't agree with your take on the matter. Frankly, I hope the Sharks smash the Titans today and the club survives. Imagine if we were going through what Sharks fans are facing?
I want the sharks club to survive also and I would hate Manly to be in that position.My comments simply relate to the fact that anything that goes wrong at football clubs never seems to have anything to the players-the Storm situation was laughable with multiple contracts and a control freak coach who knew nothing.
It would seem ridiculous that if this plays out badly for the Sharks it will have zero to do with the players.
One comment made by the Deputy Chairman of the Sharks at the press conference that was highlighted on Offsiders today and discussed at length,but neglected by the rest of the press ,went along the lines of....
""ïn a number of cases,maybe even a majority of cases, the evidence we were presented suggested an issue of negligence rather than outright cheating.
""Maybe a majority"" means maybe 50% weren't cheating,hardly a good result! Doesn't seem to fit the ""it was all just a misunderstanding"" theory.Strange comment and common sense suggests there is more to this as we will no doubt find out over the next few weeks.
Masters said he has numerous sources who said Flanagan simply turned a blind eye and related a specific instance of intravenous injections being given at an away game . Seemed a very forthright pronouncement and he didn't seem to back away from it.Still,he may not be a gossip columnist,but he is still a journalist so who knows.
