NRL Chairman makes one of the biggest blunders we've ever seen on live TV!

NRL fans are not impressed with Australian Rugby League Commission chairman Peter Beattie. He definitely hasn't made a great first impression on NRL fans.
You'd think if you were taking over a job in the NRL (a rather prestigious job too might we add), that you'd at least know the teams!
Beattie made a rather large booboo on Phil Gould's 100 per cent Footy show on Tuesday night when he couldn't answer an almost insulting question of what the name of the NRL side is that plays out of Cronulla.

"I've got to be honest, I wouldn't have a bloody clue but I'll know next week," said Beattie as he attempted to laugh it off.
"That's too bloody hard…it's too difficult."
It's safe to say fans were not impressed whatsoever!
Is this a piss take? The new boss of the NRL doesn’t know who the Cronulla Sharks are but says he loves Rugby League. Peter Beattie give me a spell.... https://t.co/MzNT8LRVHl

The new ARL Chairman just admitted that he doesn’t know the Cronulla Sharks organisation. Just call the whole thing off and send everyone home, embarrassing from Peter Beattie. @100percentfooty @ruan_sims @NRL @wwos @PaulGallen13

Well, that's embarrassing to say the least.
