Quote: Lockyer4President! "There's no need for conspiracies. Flanagan was head coach and it happened under his watch. He might be a great guy but he's still responsible. If the Sharks were not a total joke and had a CEO during that period then he or she would be facing sanctions aswell.
Might seem harsh on Flanagan and Nulla now but just wait and see what WADA do to the AFL...'"
Still think there's no need for conspiracies - ASADA have today announced they've finished their investigations, but have not interviewed Mr Dank, the prime suspect in supplying illegal substances... They've also said that they are now having the evidence reviewed to see if there is sufficient evidence to bring charges - if they still don't know that now after a year of investigations, how on earth can they justify going public on the whole matter in the first place. Interestingly , they've also had external auditors in to find out where the information on Cronulla and it's players who are under suspicion has leaked from - low and behold the auditors have reported the leaks (of official internal ASADA documents) did not come from ASADA... Who the feck else could the leaks have come from - utterly ridiculous.

Some coincidence - and the fact it was the Sharks this whole sorry affair focused on, the club the NRL would be most keen to re-locate, with at the time, the least funds to fight any ASADA case, is of course also coincidence....
The whole thing from start to finish is a complete crock of horse dung.... Cronulla have every right to be mightily ed off. If, as I suspect, no charges are laid, it will be interesting to see the NRLs response, particularly as the club and Flanagan have been vilified by the NRL, yet manly walked away scot free, despite employing Dank for much longer. As I said at the time, Manly and Cronulla were both guilty of exactly the same, Manly just had the policies in place to hide the situation better.
