I remember a doco saying there's lots in the harbour not sure how far they'd go down parra river.

As far as they want. They are capable of living in fresh, brackish and salt water. The mums tend to have their young upstream and leave them there while they head back to open water. The young ones live in the river for a couple of years until they're big enough to follow mum.

What happened there did industry just decide to through all there chemicals and crap in the river. Go humanity

Brisbane river has had sightings too. I wonder if these sharks are coming into the harbour because of over fishing, climate change... Or are bull sharks coming into breed...I have no idea.

Just to comment on what the shadow said
How many times have we been favourite to sign a player All for it to play out in the media for weeks with media heads saying don’t go to the tigers it’s career suicide I can name at-least 5 big name players who have knocked us back

This is a much better approach we won’t know who they are chasing until they are signed

Some may argue there is nothing going on behind the seens but this Is Tim sheens benji Marshall and Robbie Farah we are talking about they are up to something and I have a lot of confidence in them

I have confidence because the alternative doesn't warrant thinking about and that alternative is that there is nothing going on !
The fact is - our current nrl squad coming last
- our cup squad even worse
- our flegg and ball stars too young
So without a bit of top class recruitment we are a definite bottom 4 club in 2023
 
There were a lot of chemical factories, as well as a battery factory in the Rhodes/Homebush area. I am sure most waste went straight into the river. You were extremely lucky to find a living creature in that part of the river in the 70’s and early 80’s. If you did find something living it probably would have had 2 heads.

And the bull sharks have been known to have a nip at the back of the scull to see if it's tasty. I shudder to think how many bull sharks there'd be up and down the Parramatta River.

Do a lot of paddling in the harbour, mainly out of Rodd point and than anywhere in a three hour radius. In 20 years never seen a Shark. Had a few bumps but never actually seen one. Seen dolphins off Hunters Hill and seen seals near the Gladesville Bridge.

A mate got knocked off a ski 30 years ago by a bull shark near Concord hospital and a girl I know lost the back off her skull near the iron cove bridge. So they are around.

I did hear somewhere there is stack of them around Birchgrove.

You would be amazed how clean the river is these days. When I first started paddling you needed a gas mask to paddle west of the Gladesville bridge, now it is really good, although have not been up around Clyde for a long time

There’s been rumours of sightings of whales and even dolphins making their way up the Parramatta River.

Plenty of starfish have been found along the shores near Parramatta’s home ground, Cumberland oval.

Eelus Mattersonius a subspecies of the rare Tedesconious racistfekarious. They migrate from the eastern suburbs shoals and people throw rocks at them as they are toxic.

Bear Grills did an episode once on the natural predator of the Eelus Mattersonious, the Cory Normanous.

Does any 1 have any info on what the club thinks of Jackson Hastings are they trying to extend this bloke? We need to lock him up asap

I hope I'm wrong but all I can think about is what Gus said that a few players want to leave and I think he was stirring the pot because he wants Hastings. He would do wonders next to Burton so I have my fingers crossed we extend him soon so they don't get another win over us.

Where I live, the only turtle my kids know anything about is a car wax.

They’ve been told about a harbour in their home city of Sydney, but they don’t believe it.
