Give me a ****ing break. Half you ****s tear shreds off everyone in here day in day out about every aspect of things negative and even the smallest ****ing things that are done poorly by club or player and then whinge about it on twitter afterwards. Pot Kettle Black.

Brent Read was the original source to this rumour as he brought it up during the time he was stood down before his penalty had been decided. Sportal / Roar have probably just regurgitated it. I hope there is no truth to it the same way you do, but i'm open minded on Fifita enough to think that it's a possibility.

I for one certainly don't buy that it's a conspiracy story designed to derail our momentum. What a laugh.

I was playing around with the Ladder Predictor on NRL.com and was curious to see how everyone on here sees the final rounds playing out. I couldn't be arsed predicting actual scorelines, so i just entered 1-0 victories to whoever I thought would win the game. F/A will be a little be skewed as a result.

Here's my results after 26 rounds:

1 Broncos 40pts
2 Cowboys 40pts
3 Roosters 38pts
4 Rabbitohs 38pts
5 Sharks 34pts
6 Storm 30pts
7 Raiders 28pts
8 Bulldogs 28pts

9 Dragons 28pts
10 Warriors 26pts
11 Panthers 24pts
12 Manly 22pts
13 Eels 22pts
14 West Tigers 18pts
15 Knights 16pts
16 Titans 16pts

Was pretty surprised to see that we climb all the way up to 5th, but the Storm have a pretty rough end to the season with matches against teams in the top 4. So too the Bulldogs and Warriors.

How on earth did you have us getting 34 points.

Absolutely no way in hell i can see us winning 5 out of our next 6 games.

you probably didnt see us winning 6 of our last 7 either

im just saying...

you are a pessimist every day

its a pharken annoying charade

Let's see if we get 34 points and then resume this shall we?

34 points puts us on a winning streak of 9 matches. Not many of the fluffiest fluff supporters would tip us to do that.

It isn't a charade either.

We only need to win 3/4 to achieve 34 points. Doesn't require a winning streak of 9.

Yeah my bad for some reason i was thinking 36.

Either way, if i was to go back through the forums this year. There's no way any of you ****s suggest we make the top 4 at the half way point. Their form has exploded and the plaudits they are getting are rightfully deserved.

Most people here that are running with the 'can we win it this year' mentality are the same people that wanted Flanno sacked after 4 weeks. Half of you wanted Gallen not to resign for another year.

Being a sharks fan HAS to include a fair amount of pessimism that has been ingrained through years of disappointment. It's the reason half you ****s use the word cronullafied.

Will put my hand up and say I have been one of the most hate-filled, rage-induced, mouth-frothing ***** at our frustrating low points. In saying that, I can also say that I had no faith in this team and am happily eating humble pie over the course of the last 9 weeks. Even when we win games they're still frustrating (Warriors recently comes to mind). Last week was the first time I came away from a Sharks game with a heart rate under 200 bpm, which was nice.

I'd be surprised if that doesn't apply to a wide variety of sharks fans both on this forum and not.

Pretty sure when they ruled no try in the canberra game i threw my phone into the lounge at a rate of force that NASA may investigate for interstellar travel.

That's why i only ever put us in multi's at sharks 1-12.

The way we are playing at the moment I'm not sure we even need him. He could actually derail the side in the finals if he brings his ill discipline with him. We did a wonderful job of keeping Thurston away from a close attacking position in the first half last week. That was great play and great discipline across the board.

If we win the next four on the trot it should be tough to drop someone for him.

I'd be lying if i said i hadn't thought that too but he brings something to the team no other forward possesses in that unpredictability to rip a team apart on his own

I know he has the X factor and is a cert to be back. But if he screws up the finals I'll be peeved.

I thought most of your work read like feel good fluff pieces..
