Actually mate "their" denotes possession,the one you're (not your) after is "they are", contracted to "they're ".
SIEG HEIL! Now don't do it again or you will be hung with piano wire. ACHTUNG!
Seriously, you must've had your head in the sand if you think the 'journo's' weren't out for us with an absolute vengeance. It was everywhere you looked, with the so-called league experts Massoud, Bourbon Beccy and Hooper, calling for us (even predicting) to be kicked out of the comp, that we wouldn't be able to survive etc etc. I note the same level of interest wasn't there when legitimate questions were being asked as to if Dank caused this much trouble over a matter of weeks at the Sharks, what happened while he was at Manly....but that's another story.
Sorry but this is just another drama for the papers to write about.
Although there were reports in the papers, social media and online I don't remember the viciousness of other teams fans or the media in suggesting the Sharks should get rubbed out. If anything the general consensus was to wait and see what evidence was presented and to deal with the club then. The Sharks got off very lightly considering players took the guilty plea and pleaded ignorance.
At Parra we have been found guilty without a shred of evidence being presented to the public and yet there are sections of the media demanding we sit out the year, not including the majority of opposition fans.
I may be a little biased but this is the worst case of trial by media I've ever seen in living memory. This will leave the NRL and Greenburg with no choice but to punish and punish hard.
We did end up with a small suspension but only because it should've been dealt with a year before when the ASADA investigation was complete but they didn't notify NRL of this, so punishment could be handed out. It was a 12 mth suspension backdated due to ASADA incompetence.
Anyway, we will still have stuff to deal with over this for many years to come. Again, that's the way it goes. But trust me, the articles were there back then and still pop up now.
