Have now been a proud Sharkies member for 10 years straight… Cap #10 arrived with my Sharks 2025 members pack today … In honour of that, the caps decided to get together and pose for a group photo (below).

Sadly one cap didn’t make this far as it was lost somewhere on a breakwall up at Port Macquarie after it decided to leap off my head and go AWOL on a windy afternoon. Sadly it could not be retrieved.

I think I know what happened to the one that got away.

Caltex Field certainly holds a lot of fond memories for league fans. And certainly no fonder memories than those for two of our favorite brothers.

Two of the greats, to play the greatest game of all.

Endeavour Field is the original name.. it’s had about 6 or 7 name changes over the years due to sponsorships… more than any other ground I can think of.

And yes, the Sorensen brothers were great players too!

Does anyone know, will Super League be on NITV this year?

The official announcement only refers to the forthcoming season (2024), but it may just be the wording of the release and not reflect the contract length

Betfred Super League secures six international broadcast agreements https://search.app/259v1NutLdLKk6bf9

Two words that do not belong together - “proud” and “Sharkies”. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Plus, I can top you - 16 years a Knights member.

How does membership work in rugby league? Do you pay $10 and get a bumper sticker and a badge?

Or is it like the footy where you spend a couple of hundred bucks and get a season ticket and go to games?

I thought you got pet memberships in AFL?

There are different packages, mine is the ‘Country And Interstate’ one and comes with one ticket to a game of your choice and some goodies like a cap (see earlier pic!). Most of the money goes towards your team.

Those caps do look pretty good!

Well done! I’m just surprised they’d krep you that long :stuck_out_tongue: :rofl:

Hey, they want my money, suck it. I’ll be there longer than AOK, Ponga, Parr, the creepy CEO whose name escapes me, etc… I’m the sort of person clubs would love to have on board.

16-17 years as the Jets (classified on their system as a Gold member)
10 at the Swans (yes, got my 10 year member badge)
10 at the Waratahs
9 at the Thunder
8-9 at the Kings
4 at the Pride
2-3 at the Flames

AAP understands a separate incident has been the subject of an internal NRL investigation involving the league’s human resources department since that tournament.

The matter has reached as far as the desk of Australian Rugby League chairman Peter V’landys and will be finalised as soon as next week when a final call will be made on Donald’s future.

Sources have told AAP the issue relates to Donald allegedly using an expletive to refer to a journalist in front of players, while airing frustrations about coverage late last year.

At least one player shared details of the alleged interaction more widely, before the NRL was made aware and started its own investigation.
