With or without their suspended chief executive, Tony Zappia, whose fate is likely to be decided tonight, the Sharks are looking to bolster their financial coffers.

And the attendance figures at the Sharks' remaining home games, in particular the games against Brisbane and the Gold Coast, will help the new board decide their strategy.

The Sharks will await a report from an independent and external investigation and a review of the Channel Seven tape before hearing Zappia's response to allegations.

With debts of more than $10 million, the club has already entered a contract with the South Australian Government to play a home game in Adelaide each year until 2011.

It nets the Sharks about $110,000 a game.

While a plan to play games in Gosford wasn't endorsed by the NRL, the Sharks could make a larger profit by sacrificing their home advantage for other matches at Suncorp and Dairy Farmers Stadiums, where crowds of up to 40,000 and 25,000 respectively might dwarf those expected at the Sharks Woolooware headquarters.

Against this are the supporters and sponsors who are rallying around the financially struggling club, some of whom attended a club members' forum on Tuesday night, along with coach Ricky Stuart and other board members and officials.

The club's new deputy chairman, Damien Irvine, confirmed that relocation of home matches was still on the agenda, adding that no firm decision had been made.

Asked if members would be informed of that (club's) decision, Irvine confirmed they would.

"At the end of the day we have to look at all the options ... our development in the long term but also relocation,'' he said.

"You will be informed if games are going to be relocated to Adelaide, Central Comets, Papua New Guinea ... wherever.

"Only more games will be moved if it means survival.'' Of the new board he added: "If we have to make the hard decision, we will.''

Ricky Stuart told the forum he was looking to introduce more Cronulla juniors into his NRL squad, through the Sharks Academy set up to progress the 14- 16-year-olds juniors through to the older representative teams.

Of the club's well-publicised dramas this year, Stuart said in his 20 years in the game he had never seen a club "take so many hits from the Greg Bird dramas, the defection of Fraser Anderson to Japanese Rugby, the injuries and suspensions.

"This club's support is very strong. Many other clubs would be broken by now,'' said Stuart, who said if he could field a fit side from his present roster he'd back them to beat most other teams.

Club marketer Susan Knott was cheered when she told the meeting she felt she was a valued and respected member of the workplace in the Sharks.

Commercial manager Paul Donaghy said because the club had been "hit in the headlines'' he was conducting a brand audit to bolster the club's marketing potential.

"As part of that I'll be having tea and supplying a signed jumper to Monsignor Brian Rayner from Gymea Catholic Church (and

St Catherine's School), who came out and publicly supported the Sharks club,'' he added.

Test forward Paul Gallen remains in doubt for Sunday's game against the Raiders at Canberra Stadium.

The Sharks hope for three wins in a row.

Meanwhile, Parramatta forward Broderick Wright, 21, has signed with the Sharks for the next two seasons.

His manager John Frare said Wright was "impressed with the direction of the club''.
